Mavericks' Sergio de Larrea: Drops 21 points in loss
Rotowire
De Larrea racked up 21 points (9-15 FG, 3-4 3Pt), five rebounds and four assists across 33 minutes in Saturday's 122-106 loss to the Spurs.
With Saturday's contest coming on the second leg of a back-to-back set, the Mavericks were extremely shorthanded. De Larrea totaled just eight minutes over the first two games of the regular season, though he saw starter-level minutes off the bench Saturday and made the most of the opportunity. The rookie first-rounder erupted for a team-high 21 points, which could help him carve out a more meaningful role in the second unit moving forward, especially considering Cooper Flagg (shoulder) is set to miss time.

Mavericks' Sergio de Larrea: Flashes offensive potential
Rotowire
De Larrea posted 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-3 3Pt), six assists, two rebounds and one steal in 11 minutes during Friday's 135-117 preseason loss to the Rockets.
The 2026 No. 25 overall pick displayed exactly what made him an intriguing draft prospect during the Mavericks' preseason opener, but it's going to be a hard battle for regular-season rotation minutes. Standing at 6-foot-6 barefoot with a 6-foot-9 wingspan, de Larrea boasts elite positional size that allows him to survey the floor, pick apart defenses in the pick-and-roll and comfortably see over opposing guards. He was lethal from deep against professional competition last season for Valencia Basket, draining 40.7 percent of his three-pointers on respectable volume.

Mavericks' Sergio de Larrea: Preparing for first NBA season
Rotowire
De Larrea ended with nine points (3-5 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 11 minutes during Spain's 108-106 loss to Greece in Tuesday's FIBA World Cup qualifier.
De Larrea made the most of his playing time Tuesday. The rookie first-round pick has parts of six seasons of international playing experience under his belt, but he'll likely require a standout camp to have any chance of challenging the likes of Marcus Sasser, Zaccharie Risacher and Caleb Martin for playing time off the bench with the Mavericks to begin 2026-27.

Mavericks' Sergio de Larrea: Re-routed to Dallas
Rotowire
The Mavericks acquired the rights to de Larrea, whom the Lakers selected with the No. 25 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft before trading his rights to the Knicks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
De Larrea will ultimately join the Mavericks as part of a deal in which the Knicks will acquire five second-round picks. The 20-year-old guard can play on and off the ball thanks to his size and catch-and-shoot ability. However, de Larrea isn't a lock to sign with the Mavericks ahead of the upcoming season and could instead return to Spain as a draft-and-stash prospect. De Larrea is coming off an excellent development cycle with Valencia Basket in 2025-26, earning Liga Endesa Best Young Player honors while averaging 9.7 points per game and displaying an advanced feel for the game. Standing at 6-foot-6 barefoot with a 6-foot-9 wingspan, De Larrea boasts elite positional size that allows him to survey the floor, pick apart defenses in the pick-and-roll and comfortably see over opposing guards. He was lethal from deep against professional competition this past season, draining 40.7 percent of his three-pointers on respectable volume.
