Kyrie Irving Dallas Mavericks contract details, salary, debut, jersey number
While his Mavericks salary isn’t known, Irving is eligible to sign a two-year, $86.24 million extension with Dallas immediately or wait until this summer, when the Mavs could lock Irving up with a five-year deal. Four teams—the Jazz, Pistons, Spurs and Rockets—project to have north of $35 million in cap space, and none of them figure to register interest in him.
Irving was in the final year of a four-year, $136.49 million contract that he signed with the Nets in the summer of 2019.
As one of the league’s top point guards, Irving will now team up with Luka Doncic to form one of the NBA’s most formidable backcourts. Although Doncic has frequently carried the Mavs on his back, he is now partnered with an actual All-Star. In games this season, Irving has averaged 27.1 points, 5.3 assists, and 5.1 rebounds.
What jersey number Irving will wear?
The Dallas Mavericks will assign Kyrie Irving the number 2 jersey. In Brooklyn, he wore the No. 11 jersey, but Tim Hardaway Jr. presently wears the same number with the Mavericks. It remains to be seen what jersey no he gets in the end.
However, t is certain that Irving will reportedly return to wearing the number 2, which he did in Cleveland, according to reports from Tim MacMahon of ESPN. It’s interesting to note that from 2008 to 2012, Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd had the same jersey number as Dallas. He may have enjoyed his best years while donning the No. 2 jersey. Wearing the number, he won his lone NBA championship, was awarded Rookie of the Year and was chosen for four All-Star games.
When will Kyrie debut?
Naturally, supporters are eager to learn the date of Kyrie Irving’s debut with the Dallas Mavericks. According to rumours, he is likely to debut on a road game this Wednesday, February 8, at the Los Angeles Clippers.
