The Dallas Mavericks have recalled two-way rookie Nate Hinton from the Long Island Nets of the NBA G League and have transferred him to the Santa Cruz Warriors of the NBA G League.
Hinton (6-3, 210) has appeared in six games for Dallas this season, averaging 1.3 points and 3.2 minutes. He recorded a season-best five points (2-7 FG, 1-2 FT) in seven minutes vs. Houston (1/23/21).
Hinton has appeared in two games with Long Island, averaging 5.0 points and 1.5 rebounds in 8.4 minutes.
The 2020-21 NBA G League season tipped off on Wednesday, Feb. 10, and features 18 teams competing at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida.
The Mavericks’ G League affiliate, the Texas Legends, opted not to travel to the NBA G League’s campus. NBA teams without an NBA G League affiliate participating in Orlando have the opportunity to assign roster players and transfer two-way players using the league’s flexible assignment and two-way rules.
