Former Ohio State standout D'Angelo Russell has signed a two-year, $13 million contract with the Dallas Mavericks, joining an already impressive lineup including Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson. Russell, who made a name for himself during his single season at Ohio State, is a former All-Star and key player for the Mavs as they look to enhance their championship aspirations.

With Irving likely sidelined early in the season due to an ACL injury, Russell's scoring and playmaking abilities will be crucial. His previous experience with teams like the Lakers and Spurs, alongside his college pedigree, makes him a significant asset for Dallas as they prepare for the upcoming season.
