The 2001–02 NBA season was the Mavericks' 22nd season in the National Basketball Association.^[1] It was also their first season playing at American Airlines Center. During the offseason, the Mavericks acquired All-Star point guard Tim Hardaway from the Miami Heat, and signed free agents Adrian Griffin, Johnny Newman and Danny Manning. The Mavericks continued to play solid basketball winning ten straight games between December and January, then post a 7-game winning streak also in January as they held a 35–14 record at the All-Star break. At midseason, Hardaway was traded along with Juwan Howard to the Denver Nuggets for Nick Van Exel and Raef LaFrentz.^[2] The Mavericks finished fourth in the Western Conference, and second in the Midwest Division with a 57–25 record, and made the playoffs in back to back seasons for the first time since 1988.

Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash were both selected to the 2002 NBA All-Star Game for the first time in their careers. Nowitzki led the team with 23.4 points and 9.9 rebounds per game, and was named to the All-NBA Second Team, while Nash averaged 17.9 points and led the team with 7.7 assists per game, and was selected to the All-NBA Third Team. Michael Finley finished second on the team in scoring with 20.6 points per game. In the Western Conference First Round, the Mavericks swept the Minnesota Timberwolves in three straight games, but then lost in five games to the Sacramento Kings in the Western Conference Semifinals. Following the season, Newman retired while Manning was released to free agency.

For the season, the Mavericks changed their logo and uniforms, adding dark navy blue and light blue to their color scheme. The home jerseys lasted until 2014, while the road jerseys lasted until 2010. Their primary logo is still present as of 2021.
