Fil-Am Jarod Lucas joins the Dallas Mavericks
Proving his mettle on US basketball courts, Fil-Am player and Nevada’s pride, Jarod Lucas, now aims higher as he joins the Dallas Mavericks.

The basketball odyssey of Jarod Lucas
His stellar high school journey averaged an impressive 40 points per game as a senior at Los Altos High School in Southern California, where his father, Jeff, serves as the head coach. Her Filipino mother, Christina, played high school volleyball.
Under his father’s supervision, the 6-foot-3 Fil-Am point guard scored a total of 3,356 points during his high school days.
His college career at Nevada and Oregon State was a slam dunk and now he’s gearing up for his shot at the big leagues.
Averaging 17.4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game, this 200-pound Fil-Am was a force to reckon with. With his sharp shooting on full display, he dipped 80 three-pointers last season.
He also made headlines at Oregon State, heralding the Beavers to the Elite Eight in 2021. His last season at Nevada saw his best plays averaging 18 points per game and clinching First Team All-Mountain West honors.
Last April, Lucas also made waves at the Portsmouth Invitational, a pre-draft game for college seniors. His performance solidified his spot in the summer league roster.
The Fil-Am basketball player is set to join the Dallas Mavericks for the NBA 2K25 Summer League in Las Vegas from July 12-22 while other teams will participate in the California Classic Summer League in Sacramento and San Francisco.
