Overview
- Dallas officially signed Nembhard to a standard two-year contract that includes a team option for 2026–27, per team announcement and agent confirmation.
- Jones was released after eight appearances with the Mavericks, leaving the 11-year guard free to join a postseason team under NBA eligibility rules.
- Nembhard’s conversion removes the 50-game activation cap tied to his two-way deal after he had been shelved since Feb. 5 to avoid hitting the limit.
- In 17 starts, the undrafted rookie averaged 9.9 points and 6.1 assists on 44.4% three-point shooting, positioning him as a rotation piece for Dallas’s youth-focused rebuild.
- The Mavericks also filled two two-way slots by signing John Poulakidas and Tyler Smith and waived Miles Kelly to accommodate the moves.
