DALLAS (AP) \u2014 The Dallas Mavericks and guard Jaden Hardy have agreed on an $18 million, three-year extension, a person with knowledge of the contract said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The deal secures one of the backups in the star-studded backcourt led by Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the agreement hasn’t been announced.<\/p>\n

The Mavs were already counting on Hardy for depth before\u00a0Dante Exum sustained a wrist injury<\/a>\u00a0that required surgery and will sideline him indefinitely. The defending Western Conference champs\u00a0open the season Thursday night<\/a>\u00a0at home against San Antonio.<\/p>\n

Dallas was on the verge of a second consecutive year without a draft pick in 2022 before\u00a0trading into the second round to get Hardy<\/a>, who bypassed college to play for the G League Ignite.<\/p>\n

Hardy, who could have become a restricted free agent next summer, has averaged 7.9 points in 121 games over two seasons as a part-time member of the rotation. His playing time was similarly sporadic during the Mavs’ run to the NBA Finals last season. Dallas lost to Boston in five games.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
