DALLAS -- The Mavericks and guard Jaden Hardy have agreed on a three-year, $18 million rookie contract extension, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.
The deal secures one of the backups in a star-studded backcourt led by Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson.
The Mavs already were counting on Hardy, 22, for depth before Dante Exum sustained a wrist injury that required surgery and will sideline him indefinitely. The defending Western Conference champs will open the season Thursday night at home against the San Antonio Spurs.
