In a major win for the Dallas Mavericks, star guard Kyrie Irving has signed a new three-year contract extension with the team, securing his place as one of the franchise’s key players. The deal, reportedly worth over $120 million, will see Irving continue his journey in Dallas, solidifying the Mavericks’ backcourt alongside Luka Dončić for the foreseeable future.
Irving’s re-signing comes after months of speculation about his future, with many teams around the NBA showing interest in the talented guard. However, Irving’s commitment to the Mavericks was evident throughout last season, as he played a pivotal role in their playoff push.
The 31-year-old NBA champion, known for his dazzling ball-handling and scoring ability, has expressed his excitement about continuing his tenure in Dallas. “Dallas has become a home for me,” Irving stated in a press release. “I’m looking forward to building something special with my teammates and this organization.”
The Mavericks, under head coach Jason Kidd, have been determined to maintain their competitive edge, and retaining Irving was seen as a critical step in their pursuit of a championship. Team owner Mark Cuban emphasized the importance of the deal, saying, “Kyrie is one of the most electrifying players in the league, and having him in Dallas for the next three years gives us a great chance to compete at the highest level.”
With Irving locked in for the next three seasons, the Mavericks are expected to focus on building around their dynamic backcourt duo of Irving and Dončić, aiming to elevate their status as championship contenders.
