Overview

  • Irving declined his $43 million player option to sign a three-year, $119 million extension starting in the 2025-26 season.
  • The contract includes a player option for the 2027-28 season, matching Anthony Davis’s timeline in Dallas.
  • Irving is rehabbing from a torn ACL suffered in March and is projected to return by January 2026.
  • Dallas unlocked a $5.7 million taxpayer midlevel exception to sign a lead guard while Irving recovers.
  • The extension lays a foundation around Irving, Davis and the expected No. 1 draft pick Cooper Flagg for the franchise’s next era.
