All-Star guard Kyrie Irving has declined his $43 million player option with the Mavericks and will instead sign a three-year, $119 million contract to stay in Dallas, according to a report from ESPN on Tuesday.
Irving, 33, is expected to miss the entirety of the 2025-26 NBA regular season after suffering a season-ending ACL injury in March. Irving averaged 24.7 points per game last season while shooting 40.1% from the 3-point line.
The Mavericks, owners of the No. 1 pick in this year's NBA Draft, finished the 2024-25 season as the No. 10 seed.
