The Mavericks have exercised the rookie-scale contract option on shooting guard Josh Green, the team announced in a press release.
Green, 20, is 6-foot-5 and appeared in 39 games last season, averaging 2.6 points. He was selected with the No. 18 overall pick out of Arizona in the 2020 draft.
He also spent time last season with the Salt Lake Stars of the G League, as the Mavs sent him to the G League bubble in February.
“With Green’s third-year option locked in, the Mavs’ next decision on the former Arizona Wildcat will come next October,” explained Luke Adams of Hoops Rumors. “Dallas will have to decide at that point whether or not to exercise his $4.8MM option for the 2023/24 season. If the club picks up that option, Green will become extension-eligible in 2023.
