Dallas Mavericks Pick Up Team Option On Josh Green For 2023-24 Season

The Dallas Mavericks announced Tuesday that the team exercised its fourth-year team option on Josh Green. Doing so keeps Green under contract with the Mavericks through the 2023-24 NBA season.

Dallas drafted Green with the No. 18 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. Green signed a fully guaranteed four-year, $13.6 million contract with the Mavericks after being drafted. He will earn $4.7 million in his fourth season.

The Mavericks had until October 31 to exercise their team option on Green.

In his two NBA seasons, Green averaged 4.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 14 minutes in 106 career games while shooting 49.4% from the field. He is also a career 31.1% three-point shooter.

Green saw a significant increase in his playing time under head coach Jason Kidd during his second season. He appeared in 67 regular season games with averages of 4.8 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 15.5 minutes. His field goal percentage also improved to .508.

He also played 17 playoff games during the Mavericks’ run to the Western Conference Finals in 2022. However, his statistical output was negligible, averaging 1.4 points on 28.6% shooting overall.

Green becomes a restricted free agent in 2024. The Mavericks must offer him a qualifying offer worth $6.7 million to gain the right of first refusal.
