Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, Pelicans Agree To Two-Way Deal

Josh Green’s current focus is on suiting up for Australia at the 2023 FIBA World Cup later this month. But the Dallas Mavericks wing admitted that he’s hopeful for a contract extension in the NBA, as well.

“I’ve really just focused on this. Whatever happens kind of happens. Obviously, it’s a cool feeling to be in that situation but, at the same time, I put so much work to be able to be in this position now, that you wanna continue to work,” Green said. “I hope it happens. I want to be in Dallas. I love Dallas. I love the fanbase, love the guys. To think I could be in Dallas long-term would be amazing.”

Green is eligible for a rookie scale extension until the end of the NBA offseason in late-October. If no extension is reached, Dallas can make Green a restricted free agent in the summer of 2024.

Malcolm Brogdon has been named the 22-23 NBA Sixth Man of the Year.

Brogdon averaged 14.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists; among those who played primarily off the bench this season.

Brogdon received 60 of 100 first-place votes and 408 points overall from a media panel. Immanuel Quickley was second at 326, getting 34 first-place votes. Bobby Portis had six first-place votes and 97 points.

“This is such an honor. It has definitely been a transition for me, coming from Indiana to Boston,” said Brogdon, who had started every game the past four years in the NBA before embracing his role to come off the bench when he was acquired by the Celtics. “My last two seasons, they weren’t super successful, so for me that was another gut check for me in understanding that maybe I’m not a No. 1 guy but I can be a great No. 2, 3 or 4.”
