Dallas Mavericks power forward Dwight Powell will pick up the player option on his contract and sign an extension with the team, sources told ESPN's Tim MacMahon.
The news comes a few weeks after another report indicated that Powell would decline the option and become an unrestricted free agent.
Powell has been with the Mavs since 2014. The Canadian was a beneficiary of the NBA's free-spending summer of 2016 when he inked a 4-year, $37-million pact with Dallas. He averaged a career-high 10.6 points per game this past season.
