Free agent point guard D’Angelo Russell has agreed to a two-year, $13 million deal with the Dallas Mavericks,
The Mavs will use the $5.7 million taxpayer midlevel exception to sign Russell, a one-time All-Star who averaged 12.6 points and 5.1 assists per game for the Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets last season.
The second season of the deal is a player option, sources said.
Russell is expected to fill Kyrie Irving’s spot in the starting lineup while the nine-time All-Star recovers from a torn ACL. The Mavs and Irving are optimistic that he will be able to return early in the 2026 portion of the schedule, at which point Russell could transition to a key reserve role.
