DeAndre Jordan apologizes to Mavs, Mark Cuban after backing out of deal

— -- DeAndre Jordan issued an apology to the Dallas Mavericks and owner Mark Cuban after he backed out of his verbal agreement with the Mavs and rejoined the Los Angeles Clippers this week.

Jordan called Cuban "one of the best owners in the world" in his Twitter message:

After the tweets were published, Cuban told ESPN.com via his Cyber Dust messaging app that he still has not had any communication with Jordan since Tuesday night. Cuban said Jordan's mother, Kimberly, called him, but he declined to elaborate on that conversation.

Jordan, after verbally agreeing to a four-year max deal with the Mavs last week, made an about-face, re-signing with the Clippers.

The contract with the Clippers also is a four-year max deal that will be worth an estimated $88 million, sources told ESPN. Jordan can opt out after three years.
