FREE AGENCY TRACKER: Kristaps Porzingis Agrees To Five-Year Max Deal With Mavs

After moving heaven and earth to acquire him, the Dallas Mavericks weren’t about to let Kristaps Porzingis go anywhere.

Multiple reports, including from Marc Stein of The New York Times, state Porzingis has agreed to a five-year, $158 million contract to remain with Dallas. Porzingis missed all of last season while recovering from a torn ACL suffered in 2017-18. Still just 23 years old, the 7-foot-3 big man will pair his multi-dimensional skillset with reigning Kia Rookie of the Year Luka Doncic as the Mavericks transition from the Dirk Nowitzki era.

Porzingis boasts career averages of 17.8 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.0 blocks while shooting 36.1 percent from 3-point range.
