The Mavericks have exercised Josh Green‘s fourth-year option for the 2023/24 season, the team announced today (via Twitter).
Green, who is set to earn approximately $3.1MM in his third NBA season this year, is now also guaranteed of receiving his $4,765,339 salary for ’23/24.
Green didn’t play much as a rookie in Dallas after being selected 18th overall in the 2020 draft, but saw more regular minutes last season, averaging 4.8 PPG and 2.4 RPG on .508/.359/.689 shooting in 67 appearances (15.5 MPG). He has received rave reviews from coaches and teammates for the work he did this past offseason, suggesting that he may be in line for a larger role in ’22/23.
The Mavs don’t have to make decisions on any other rookie scale team options before this year’s October 31 deadline, since they didn’t have a first-round pick in the 2021 draft.
Josh Green is a very solid role player!!! I think he can be special. He’s athletic and can hit the three and he’s good on defense. I would like to see him start for the Dallas Mavericks
