Following the draft, there was speculation that De Larrea would remain in Spain for the 2026-27 season and join Dallas next year. Mavericks general manager Mike Schmitz said last week that they were still determining their plan, which appears to have been finalized following his signing.

De Larrea was named to the All-Liga ACB Young Players Team in each of the past two seasons, while he was also the 2025 Spanish Super Cup MVP after helping Valencia to the championship. He averaged 5.4 points in 45 games across all league competitions that year.
The 6-foot-7 De Larrea was highly touted in the draft this year because of his playmaking, vision and shooting. The team has been encouraged by his physical growth, along with his defensive versatility, boasting strong instincts and length to create turnovers.
De Larrea will suit up with the Mavericks in the NBA Summer League, beginning on July 9 against the Golden State Warriors in Las Vegas, Nevada (7 p.m. EDT, ESPN).
