D'Angelo Russell News, Rumors, Updates - Dallas Mavericks

Won't play Monday Russell (rest) will not play in Monday's preseason game against the Jazz, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Russell will rest Monday after posting a modest line of seven points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five assists, three rebounds and one steal in 22 minutes Saturday against the Hornets. His next opportunity to take the court comes Wednesday against the Lakers.

Modest performance Saturday Russell compiled seven points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five assists, three rebounds and one steal in 22 minutes during Saturday's preseason loss to the Hornets.

Impact Russell was somewhat disappointing again Saturday, continuing what has been an underwhelming start to his career in Dallas. While he did hand out a team-high five assists, his shooting let him down, both from the field and the stripe. With Kyrie Irving likely out until at least January with a knee injury, Russell will serve as the starting point guard. He is worth drafting in all standard leagues, although managers may have to temper their expectations given the talent around him.

Deals five assists in preseason win Russell totaled five points (1-3 FG, 2-2 FT, 1-3 3Pt), five assists and two rebounds over 15 minutes on Monday's 106-89 preseason win over Oklahoma City.

Impact Russell will be the clear starter at point guard for the Mavericks until Kyrie Irving (knee) returns. Irving will remain out until January at the earliest, and Russell should see max minutes due to a lack of clear competition on the depth chart.

D'Angelo Russell Agrees to Two-Year Deal With Mavericks The veteran guard is headed to Dallas.

JUNE 30, 2025 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Signing with Dallas Russell (ankle) agreed to a two-year, $13 million deal with the Mavericks on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact The Mavericks' most significant need for the 2025-26 season was signing a point guard who could start regularly and orchestrate the offense while Kyrie Irving (knee) recovers from a torn ACL, and Russell fits that mold. The veteran floor general appeared in 29 games (26 starts) for the Nets during the 2024-25 campaign and averaged 12.9 points, 5.6 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals over 24.7 minutes per game. He should see plenty of minutes in the Mavericks' backcourt in the opening weeks of the season. However, it's unclear how much usage he'll have, since the Mavericks will likely use Anthony Davis and Cooper Flagg as primary offensive initiators at times. Russell ended the 2024-25 season sidelined due to an ankle injury, but he'll be completely healthy by the time training camp begins in the fall.

Won't play Sunday Russell (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against New York, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Russell will end up missing the final five games of the regular season due to a right ankle sprain. The veteran point guard began the season on the Lakers but was traded to the Nets along with Maxwell Lewis in late December in exchange for Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton. Russell appeared in 29 games (26 starts) for Brooklyn and averaged 12.9 points, 5.6 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals over 24.7 minutes per game, though he shot just 36.7 percent from the field and 29.7 percent from three-point range over that span. Russell will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

Non-factor in loss Russell posted zero points (0-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt) and one assist over 13 minutes during Thursday's 105-90 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Russell returned from an ankle injury but was barely noticeable in the loss. Despite starting, he lasted just 13 minutes before the coaching staff opted to go in another direction. It's been a woeful season for Russell, especially since joining the Nets in early January. Over his last 27 games, Russell is averaging just 12.6 points, 5.2 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 24.6 minutes per game.

The veteran guard is coming off an impressive performance in Monday's win against the Mavericks, finishing with 18 points, 11 assists, five rebounds, two steals and one block.

Impact Russell recorded his fourth double-double of the season and broke out of his shooting slump in the process -- over his last eight appearances, Russell has hit 33.8 percent from the field with 13.6 points, 5.6 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 2.6 three-pointers.
