NBA Free Agency: D'Angelo Russell to Sign with Mavericks as Dallas Gets Kyrie Irving Injury Replacement

  • On Monday, the Dallas Mavericks secured veteran guard D'Angelo Russell with a two-year deal worth $13 million to cover for Kyrie Irving during his expected extended absence.
  • The signing followed Irving declining his player option and recovering from a torn ACL expected to sideline him for much of the 2025-26 season.
  • Russell appeared in 58 games last season split between the Lakers and Nets, putting up an average of 12.6 points along with 5.1 assists per contest amid a challenging year and a mid-season trade.
  • Mavericks GM Nico Harrison said after the draft, "You can't replace Kyrie," highlighting Russell as an affordable, efficient pick-and-roll facilitator to aid the offense.
  • This deal provides Dallas a veteran point guard to start while Irving recovers, with Russell likely moving to a backup role upon Irving's return.
