DALLAS >> The Dallas Mavericks revealed on Monday that they are raising season ticket prices for next season, just weeks after dealing star Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Mavericks said season tickets will go up by an average of 8.61% next season and the increase is due to “ongoing investments in the team and fan engagement.”

The Mavs have dealt with widespread fan discontent since last month’s trade that sent the popular Doncic to the Lakers in exchange for a package that includes Anthony Davis, the talented but often injured 10-time All-Star.

Davis scored 26 points in his Mavericks debut on Feb. 8, but left the game late with a groin injury and hasn’t played since.

Meanwhile, Doncic has thrived with the Lakers, immediately reviving their title hopes. The five-time All-Star led the Mavs to the NBA Finals last season, where they lost to the Boston Celtics.

The Mavericks say that despite the price adjustments, full-season ticket holders will continue to save 15% to 23% compared to projected secondary market prices. The team also said that roughly 4,200 seats per game are still below $40.

Kings’ Sabonis sidelined by strained left hamstring>> NBA rebounding leader Domantas Sabonis is out indefinitely after straining his left hamstring Saturday night in the Sacramento Kings’ victory in Houston.

The Kings — a half-game behind the Los Angeles Clippers for the No. 6 seed in the West — said Sunday that Sabonis has a Grade 1 strain and that it would update his status in a week.

Sabonis was running down the court about a minute into the game when he pulled up and grabbed his left hamstring. He’s averaging 19.5 points, 14.1 rebounds and 6.2 assists in 56 games this season.

Cavaliers guard Jerome fined $25K by NBA for criticizing officials after win>> Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome was fined $25,000 by the NBA for public criticism of officials following his team’s 133-129 overtime win over the Portland Trail Blazers.

Jerome was upset that the teams were called for a combined 53 fouls and shot 70 free throws Sunday, which included 35 for each team. The average NBA game has less than 40 fouls called.

“I thought the refs were really bad tonight, especially Natalie (Sago), she was really bad,” Jerome said. “Stuff like that happens. They kind of lose control of the game, and you just got to keep your head. I thought that first half was ridiculous. Third quarter was horrendous.

“You just got to keep your head and keep playing.”

Jerome finished with 25 points, six assists and a career-high six steals.
