Overview

  • Washington is now under contract through the 2029-30 season and will earn $14.1 million in 2025-26 on his existing deal.
  • The extension is projected to start around $19.8 million in 2026-27 and escalate to about $24.6 million by 2029-30.
  • Under CBA timing rules, Washington will be ineligible to be traded during the 2025-26 season once the paperwork is finalized.
  • Since arriving at the 2024 trade deadline, the 27-year-old has been a key starter, opening all 22 games in the 2024 playoff run and posting 14.7 points and 7.8 rebounds last season.
  • The move follows extensions for Kyrie Irving and Daniel Gafford and contributes to projections that Dallas will exceed the second apron by 2026-27, limiting future roster flexibility.
