Overview
- Dallas waived the 29-year-old guard before Sunday’s cutoff, keeping him eligible for another team’s playoff roster.
- The Mavericks signed undrafted rookie Ryan Nembhard to a two-year standard contract that includes a 2026–27 team option, according to league reports.
- Converting Nembhard removes the 50-game limit tied to his two-way deal after he logged 38 appearances and 17 starts with averages of 6.7 points and 4.9 assists.
- Nembhard’s promotion creates an open two-way slot that Dallas can fill before the March 4 deadline for two-way signings.
- The decisions align with a youth-driven reset for the 21–38 Mavericks after their trade-deadline moves, with potential veteran buyouts—such as a Khris Middleton decision—still in play.
