Former Brooklyn Nets guard D’Angelo Russell (1) will reportedly sign with the Dallas Mavericks.

Overview

  • Dallas is finalizing a two-year, $12 million contract offer for veteran point guard D’Angelo Russell ahead of free agency.
  • The proposed signing aims to replace Kyrie Irving, who tore his ACL in March and will miss the entire upcoming season.
  • Russell averaged 12.9 points and 5.6 assists in 29 games for Brooklyn after a December midseason trade.
  • Brooklyn’s selection of four guards in the 2025 draft has signaled a shift toward youth, casting uncertainty on Russell’s future with the Nets.
  • Despite using the No. 1 overall pick on rookie Cooper Flagg, Dallas still seeks experienced leadership to guide its backcourt under Jason Kidd.
