After spurning the Mavericks three years ago, DeAndre Jordan could finally be on his way to Dallas.
The Los Angeles Clippers center on Friday opted out of a $24.1 million player option on his contract for next season, sources told ESPN. The move clears a path for the former Texas A&M Aggies star and Houston native to return to his home state and sign with the Mavericks, ESPN and other media outlets reported.
The Mavericks and Clippers have been trying to reach and sign and trade deal to send Jordan to Dallas. But now the Mavericks are in prime position to sign Jordan with $27 million of salary cap space.
