P.J. Washington has agreed to a four‑year, $90 million extension with the Dallas Mavericks, keeping him through the 2029‑30 season.

• The new deal replaces the final year of his previous $14.1 million contract and makes him ineligible for a trade during the 2025‑26 season.
• In the 2024‑25 regular season he posted 14.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.1 steals while shooting 45.3% from the field and 38.1% from three‑point range.
• Washington logged 14 double‑doubles and was one of only eight players to average at least one steal and one block while appearing in at least 50 games, according to ESPN.
• The Mavericks have also locked up Kyrie Irving and Daniel Gafford on extensions, joining a frontcourt that features Anthony Davis, Cooper Flagg, Dereck Lively II and other young talent.
• By securing Washington long‑term, Dallas adds stability to its forward position as it prepares for another competitive Western Conference season.

Why it matters: The extension secures a key piece of the Mavericks’ core as they aim to build on their recent NBA Finals run.
