NBA Free Agency: D'Angelo Russell to Sign with Mavericks as Dallas Gets Kyrie Irving Injury Replacement
DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS, JUN 30 – D'Angelo Russell provides veteran leadership and scoring on a two-year, $13 million contract to support Dallas while Kyrie Irving recovers from a torn ACL, GM said.
- 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.
