Naji Marshall will remain with Dallas Mavericks long-term through the 2029/30 season. The wing has secured a three-year extension worth $52.2 million guaranteed, following the best season of his NBA career.
Marshall arrived in Dallas in the summer of 2024 as a free agent from the New Orleans Pelicans and has earned an important role within the Mavericks' project. He didn't arrive as a major star, but rather as one of those players who become invaluable through physicality, energy, defense, and the ability to contribute without requiring much usage.
Last season he appeared in 74 games, averaging 15.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.1 steals in 29.2 minutes per game. Numbers that explain Dallas' commitment: continuity for a player who has made a clear step forward.
His extension is not just an individual reward. It's also a way to secure a reliable rotation piece in an NBA where physical, competitive wings capable of doing multiple things are increasingly expensive.
Marshall will remain in Dallas on a significant contract with an earned role on the court. The franchise is paying for his growth and securing a player who has already proven his fit.
