Dallas Mavericks' Forward Josh Green Signs 3-Year, $41 Million Extension

Extension follows Green's breakout year and career bests, with Dallas Mavericks' coach praising player's dedication and team-work ethos.

After a breakout year, 22-year-old Dallas Mavericks forward Josh Green has agreed to a three-year contract extension worth $41 million.
Dallas Mavericks drafted Green as the eighteenth overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, making him the twelfth first-round draft pick from this draft to secure a rookie-scale extension.
Head coach, Jason Kidd, complimented Green on his commitment and praised his offensive and defensive capabilities, adding that his contract extension was expected due to his performance.
Last season, Green scored a career-high 9.1 points per game, with career highs in field goal (53.7%), three-point (40.2%) and free throw percentages (72.3%). He also averaged career highs with 3.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 25.7 minutes, playing 60 games.
One of five players to shoot at least 40% on three-pointers and 60% on two-point shots last season while attempting at least 100 of each, Green is expected to play a significant role in the Dallas' frontcourt this season, serving as a 3-and-D wing to complement stars Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.
