2026–27 Season performance
With the Dallas Mavericks in 2026–27, the snapshot checked November 7 shows 5 appearances, averaging 13.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 5.4 assists. Across a five-game sample, both scoring and passing have contributed. His value is worth following through how reliably he connects the offense and limits turnovers in his rotation minutes, not just through one hot night.
Updated 2026-11-10Career background
Marshall came from Xavier and began his NBA career with New Orleans in 2020–21. Four Pelicans seasons were followed by Dallas in 2024–25, where his appearances and offensive workload expanded. His movement toward a steadier frontcourt contribution involved rebounding and passing to the next option as well as scoring.
In 2024–25, he played 69 games and averaged 13.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists. His first Dallas season increased both scoring and assists over the preceding New Orleans campaign. That full-season change provides a concrete account of a supporting frontcourt player taking on more offensive work.
