Mavs sign Nowitzki to three-year, $60M extension
ESPN

Looking to build on a 60-win season that ended two games shy of an NBA Championship, the Dallas Mavericks signed All-Star forward Dirk Nowitzki to a contract extension, the team announced Tuesday.

While the team did not disclose terms of the deal, ESPN.com's Marc Stein reports that it is a three-year extension worth just under $60 million.

"We are glad to keep Dirk in the Mavericks family for many more years," Mavs owner Mark Cuban said. "His contribution to our success on and off the court has been immeasurable."

Last season, Nowitzki averaged a career-high 26.6 points per game, along with 9.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists. He also established career highs in field goal percentage (48.0), 3-point percentage (40.6) and free throw percentage (90.1).

Nowitzki finished third in MVP voting and was named to the All-NBA First Team for the second straight season. He has also been selected to a Mavericks-record five straight All-Star Games.
