Dallas Mavericks' forward Dwight Powell opts in to final year of contract

The Mavericks offseason has officially begun.

Dwight Powell has opted in to the final year of his contract with the team.

Can confirm that Dwight Powell formally has opted in to play next season for $10.259M, as we last week reported would be the case. Powell had until June 29 to decide, but pulled the trigger today. Next step, source says, is for Powell to sign a multi-year extension in July.

His decision to sign the deal is no surprise as SportsDay's Brad Townsend reported earlier this month that Powell intended to opt in to the deal, contrary to reports stating otherwise.
