- On Thursday the Dallas Mavericks signed P.J. Washington Jr. to a contract extension and brought back guard Dante Exum for the 2025-26 season.

- Financially, a person with knowledge said P.J. Washington Jr.'s extension is worth $89 million over four years, averaging around 22.5 million annually; he averaged 14.7 points and 7.8 rebounds in 57 games in 2024-25.
