Mandatory Credit: Jerome Miron-Imagn Images Free agent point guard D'Angelo Russell is joining the Dallas Mavericks on a two-year deal worth $13 million, ESPN reported Monday.
Russell joins a Mavs team in win-now mode following the midseason Luka Doncic trade, with a core of Kyrie Irving, Anthony Davis, Klay Thompson, Daniel Gafford, Dereck Lively II and No. 1 overall draft pick Cooper Flagg.
Irving is recovering from an ACL tear he suffered in March, and Russell may be asked to start at point guard until Irving is healthy early in 2026.
Russell, 29, split the 2024-25 season between the Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets and averaged 12.6 points, 5.1 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 58 games (36 starts). Russell played with Davis in Los Angeles before Davis was shipped to Dallas in the Doncic blockbuster.
An All-Star in 2018-19 with Brooklyn, Russell has posted career averages of 17.3 points, 5.7 assists and 3.4 rebounds while shooting 36.5 percent from 3-point range in 629 games (536 starts) with the Lakers, Nets, Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves.
