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.
