Tarik Biberovic’s move to Dallas could depend on his $2 million Fenerbahce buyout, with the Mavericks only able to contribute $900,000, leaving the player to cover the remaining $1.1 million.<\/p>\n

The Dallas Mavericks are expected to officially acquire the draft rights to Tarik Biberovic<\/a> next week and have already opened discussions with his representatives about potentially bringing the Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul forward to the NBA as early as next season, according to Marc Stein<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Biberovic, 25, has become one of the notable European names tied to the NBA market after developing into a regular rotation piece for Turkish powerhouse Fenerbahce.<\/p>\n

His contract, however, could be one of the main factors in any move to Dallas, as Stein reported that the deal includes a $2 million buyout.<\/p>\n

Under NBA rules, the Mavericks can contribute up to $900,000 toward that amount, meaning the remaining part would have to be covered by the player through the structure of a potential contract.<\/p>\n

Biberovic has two more years left on his Fenerbahce deal.<\/p>\n

How Biberovic landed with the Mavericks <\/p>\n

Biberovic’s NBA rights are coming to Dallas as part of the Mavericks’ trade with the Memphis Grizzlies for Santi Aldama.<\/p>\n

In the deal, Dallas acquired Aldama and Biberovic’s draft rights, while Memphis received A.J. Johnson, a protected 2030 first-round pick via Golden State, and two future second-round picks.<\/p>\n

Memphis originally selected Biberovic with the No. 56 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, but the player remained in Europe instead of immediately joining the Grizzlies.<\/p>\n

Now, with the Mavs taking over his draft rights, Dallas appears interested in exploring whether the timing is right for him to come stateside.<\/p>\n

Biberovic’s rise with Fenerbahce <\/p>\n

Biberovic has spent his entire EuroLeague career with Fenerbahce, where he has gradually grown from a long-term prospect into a star-caliber perimeter player.<\/p>\n

During the 2025-26 EuroLeague season, Biberovic averaged 11.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 41 games, starting 36 of them. He shot 52.4% on two-pointers, 41.9% from the three-point range, and 95.2% from the free-throw line.<\/p>\n

This past season, Biberovic became the Turkish Cup Final MVP and helped lead Fenerbahce to the fourth Turkish League championship during his tenure there.<\/p>\n

In 2025, Biberovic went on to win the Triple Crown, including the most prestigious EuroLeague title.<\/p>\n
