Kyrie Irving to sign $119 million extension with Mavericks after declining player option, per report

Kyrie Irving is declining his $42.9 million player option for the 2025-26 season with the Dallas Mavericks and instead is planning to sign a three-year, $119 million extension with the franchise, per ESPN's Shams Charania. The deal includes a player option for 2027-28.That new deal can't be officially agreed upon until July 6. With Irving expected to miss a significant chunk of the 2025-26 season recovering from a torn ACL, it makes sense he was interested in getting long-term security with his new deal. For the Mavericks, they're able to slightly lower Irving's annual salary to help their cap situation while keeping Irving around for their hopeful bounce back as a contender with a team built around Irving, Anthony Davis and Cooper Flagg, who the team is expected to select with the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft on Wednesday […]

Running back Austin Ekeler said as much after OTAs and minicamp when he noted Daniels' development, and in turn, he predicted a "powerhouse" year for the Commanders on offense.Anything greater than the 3,568 passing yards and 891 rushing yards Daniels logged as a rookie would cement the LSU product as one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL, regardless of age.
