DALLAS — Kyrie Irving is back with the Dallas Mavericks.
The 31-year-old All-Star has verbally agreed to a three-year, $126 million contract, a person familiar with the negotiations confirmed Friday. The deal ended Irving’s unrestricted free agency less than an hour into the negotiating period and restored his spot as co-star to Luka Doncic.
NBA rules prohibit teams and players from officially signing and announcing new contracts until the free agency moratorium lifts July 6.
