Dallas Mavericks Bolster Roster with P.J. Washington Extension and Dante Exum Return

The Dallas Mavericks have made two significant moves to bolster their roster, ensuring their competitive presence for the upcoming season and beyond.

P.J. Washington Inks Four-Year Extension

The Mavericks and P.J. Washington have agreed on a four-year contract extension that will see the power forward remain in Dallas until the 2030 season. Washington, who turned 27 this year, is set to receive over $90 million in total, averaging around $22.2 million annually.

“I’m excited to continue my journey with the Mavs. Dallas has become my home, and I can’t wait to see what we can accomplish together in the coming years.” – P.J. Washington

Washington’s Impact in Dallas

  • In his first season with the Mavericks (2024-25), Washington averaged 14.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 2.3 assists.
  • He played a crucial role in the Mavericks’ deep playoff run, helping them reach the NBA Finals before falling to the Boston Celtics in five games.
Pro Tip: Washington’s extension ensures the Mavericks retain one of the league’s most productive young power forwards.

Dante Exum Returns to Dallas Mavericks

In addition to Washington’s extension, the Mavericks have also welcomed back Australian guard Dante Exum. Exum, 27, has rejoined the team as a free agent following the departure of French center Olivier-Maxence Prosper.

Looking Ahead

With these moves, the Dallas Mavericks have solidified their roster, securing the services of two key players who will contribute significantly to their competitive drive in the coming seasons.

Mavericks fans celebrate at a home game, eager to see their team’s future unwind with Washington and Exum on board.

“Having P.J. Washington and Dante Exum committed to our team for the long term is a huge boost for our organization. We’re thrilled to have them both in Dallas and can’t wait to see what they’ll bring to the table this season.” – Dallas Mavericks’ General Manager

With these key pieces in place and the start of the new season approaching, the Dallas Mavericks are poised to make a strong run in the competitive Western Conference.
