Naji Marshall is staying in Dallas long-term after signing a contract extension, cementing his role as a cornerstone of the Mavericks’ future. After a breakout season with career-high averages—15.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists—and a stellar 51% field goal percentage, he proved his worth on the court and in the locker room. Team president Masai Ujiri praised his relentless work ethic and versatility, calling him indispensable. Marshall, who went undrafted in 2020 and spent four seasons in New Orleans before joining Dallas in 2024, has elevated his game dramatically since arriving. He’ll also switch to jersey number 3 for the upcoming season, symbolizing his new status as a key leader.
