Garrett Temple’s Coaching Transition | Toronto Raptors News

Garrett Temple is officially retiring from playing and stepping into a new role as an assistant coach with the Dallas Mavericks — a natural next step after 17 seasons and 16 in the NBA. Though his court time dwindled with the Raptors, his off-court influence was legendary, from leading the conga line to mentoring young players and building team chemistry. Now, with first-time head coach Dusty May at the helm, Temple brings exactly what the Mavericks need: deep NBA knowledge, player rapport, and the ability to bridge coaching and locker room dynamics. This is the perfect transition for a player who’s always been more than just a scorer — he’s now ready to make his mark from the sidelines.
