>Mavericks CEO Cynt Marshall, a transformative figure who reshaped and energized the franchise during one of its darkest periods, is retiring effective Dec. 31.
>Marshall finalized her decision late Monday and informed Mavericks staff members Tuesday morning. Although she turns 65 on Dec. 15, her decision comes as a surprise, just three weeks before the start of the season.
>A few days ago, according a person familiar with her thinking, Marshall was in contract-extension negotiations with Mavericks governor Patrick Dumont, whose family last December purchased the franchise’s majority interest from Mark Cuban.
>Marshall’s husband, Kenneth, has battled cancer for two years and Marshall herself is a stage 3 colon cancer survivor, but it’s unclear whether Kenneth’s health was a determining factor.
>“Cynt Marshall is a force of nature,” Dumont said in a news release announcing the decision. “I like to say her superpower is bringing people together, but the truth is she has many superpowers.
I’ve met her on multiple occasions and she is an absolutely lovely person. You can tell she is well liked by staff and players alike. Very sad to hear this as she did a lot for this team and was a brilliant spokesperson for the Mavs. Hope she sticks around the team some at the least.
