NBA Insider Shams Charania reports that it's a 3-year, $33M contract, and the new deal keeps him in Dallas through 2025-26. Shams also notes that it's fully guaranteed. Kleber will earn $9M this season before the extension kicks in.

With the deal, the 6'10" power forward is ineligible to be traded until at least March, well past the trade deadline.

The 30-year-old is going into his 6th year with the Mavs; he's averaged 7.1 points and 4.8 rebounds, while spreading the floor with a 36% rate from 3-point range over his five seasons.
