Signs extension with Dallas Marshall (hip) signed a three-year, $52.2 million extension with the Mavericks on Sunday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Marshall signed a three-year pact with Dallas in July 2024 and is now set to remain with the team for the foreseeable future. The 28-year-old wing is coming off a career-best year in 2025-26, during which he averaged 15.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.1 steals while shooting 51.0 percent from the floor in 29.5 minutes per game across 74 regular-season appearances (47 starts).

JULY 1 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Role undetermined for 2026-27 Marshall (hip) has more competition for playing time after the Mavericks chose Morez Johnson with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.

Impact Marshall was one of the bigger fantasy beneficiaries of the various injuries to Dallas' frontcourt in 2025-26, averaging a career-high 15.2 points per game to go with 4.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.1 steals in 29.5 minutes per game over 74 regular-season appearances (47 starts). Dallas could lose Khris Middleton in unrestricted free agency this offseason, and Klay Thompson is also a rumored trade candidate, so Marshall still has a chance to battle with Max Christie for the top spot at shooting guard next year even though Johnson could create a crunch for minutes in the frontcourt.

Ruled out versus Chicago Marshall (hip) is listed as out for Sunday's game against Chicago.

Impact Marshall won't play in Sunday's contest against Chicago, marking his third consecutive absence and the end of his 2025-26 campaign. Without him, Klay Thompson and Khris Middleton are in line to see more minutes while receiving additional scoring opportunities.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Sunday Marshall (hip) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bulls.

Impact It appears as though Marshall will miss a third consecutive game while tending to a left hip contusion. If he's indeed ruled out for Sunday's game, he'll end the 2025-26 regular season averaging a career-high 15.2 points per game along with 4.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 threes over 29.5 minutes per game. Klay Thompson (rest), Khris Middleton and John Poulakidas should operate in elevated roles if Marshall is sidelined.

APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Friday Marshall (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Spurs.

Impact As expected after entering the day with a doubtful tag, Marshall will sit out his second consecutive contest due to a left hip contusion he sustained during Tuesday's loss to the Clippers. With Marshall officially sidelined again, the Mavericks will likely lean on Khris Middleton and Tyler Smith to absorb the available minutes in the frontcourt.

Tagged doubtful for Friday Marshall (hip) is doubtful for Friday's game against San Antonio.

Impact Marshall suffered a left hip injury during Tuesday's clash against the Clippers and was forced to sit out of Wednesday's game as a result of the injury. It appears he'll need even more time to recover after being listed as doubtful for Friday, which would mean more playing time for Klay Thompson, Khris Middleton and Tyler Smith in the frontcourt. Expect another update on Marshall's status closer to tipoff.

APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Wednesday Marshall (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Suns.

Impact Marshall injured his left hip during the Mavericks' 116-103 loss to the Clippers. The injury is severe enough for him to miss the first leg of Dallas' back-to-back set, and his next opportunity to play is Friday against San Antonio. With several Mavericks players missing Wednesday's contest, more minutes will be available for Ryan Nembhard, AJ Johnson, John Poulakidas and Khris Middleton.

APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Wednesday Marshall is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Suns with a left hip contusion.

Impact Marshall struggled on the offensive end Tuesday before taking a hard fall and limping to the locker room after attempting to contest a shot in the fourth quarter.
