The EuroLeague champion brings elite sharpshooting to Dallas, potentially curing the Mavericks’ perimeter woes after the 25-year-old wing bypassed Memphis to join Luka Doncic in Texas.
DALLAS - Tarik Biberovic has officially signed a two-year contract with the Dallas Mavericks worth $6 million total.
Biberovic was acquired alongside Santi Aldama in a trade with the Memphis Grizzlies, who originally selected him with the 56th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft.
Biberovic spent eight seasons with Fenerbahce, helping the club win the EuroLeague championship in 2025 and earning Turkish Cup MVP honors in 2026 after posting 28 points, 10 rebounds and two assists while shooting 10 of 13 from the field in the championship game.
He turned down a contract offer from Memphis last summer to remain in Istanbul and the Mavericks now appear positioned to benefit from that decision.
Getting Biberovic to Dallas required navigating a buyout. He signed a three-year contract with Fenerbahce in July 2025 that included a $2 million buyout clause.
Under NBA rules, Dallas can contribute up to approximately $900,000 toward an international buyout, which means Biberovic is responsible for the remaining amount. According to Eurohoops, both sides reached an agreement and Fenerbahce will receive the full buyout to complete the move.
We're told this deal is worth a bit over $2.9 million for 2026-27 and a bit over $3 million for the second year with a team option.
Biberovic, 25, produced at a high level in both domestic and European competition. He averaged 10.7 points while shooting 39.9% from 3-point range across 36 EuroLeague games this past season. In the Turkish League, he averaged 12.3 points while shooting 48.9% from beyond the arc in 25 games.
Across eight professional seasons in Europe, he has shot 42.3% from 3-point range. At 6-foot-7, he moves well without the ball, makes difficult shots and keeps the offense moving with quick decisions.
Whether Biberovic's contract uses part of that exception or the second-round exception has not been reported, but the multi-year commitment suggests the Mavericks view him as more than a depth addition.
Dallas finished 29th in the NBA in 3-pointers made per game last season and 26th in 3-point percentage. Biberovic addresses one of the roster's biggest weaknesses without significantly changing the team's long-term financial outlook.
