Gford, who helped Maxarks develop the NBA final in 2024, remained a year on his contract worth $ 14.4 million. His expansion, when she signed, will leave him under control to thrive in the 2028-29 season.
Gford was part of the NBA’s strong front units during his time in Dallas. He started the first 11 Maxerks games this season, moved to the bench, and then was replaced for a starting role after Darak Leibley II went down to download with a right ankle fracture in Gennari.
Gford made averaged 15.1 points (70.9 percent shooting), 9.8 rebounds and 3.2 blocks between January 15 and February. 10. He played some of his best basketball in his career before he suffered from a right -wing spray in a home game in February against Sacramento Kings, and it made him miss more than a month.
