The Dallas Mavericks recently signed free agent guard Spencer Dinwiddie.
“We welcome having Spencer back with us in Dallas,” stated Dallas Mavericks General Manager Nico Harrison. “Spencer is an experienced teammate, who understands what we are trying to accomplish. His energy, versatility, and playmaking from the guard position adds invaluable depth to our roster and leaves us well positioned going into next season.”
Dinwiddie (6-5, 215) appeared in 76 games last season (48 for the Brooklyn Nets, 28 for the Los Angeles Lakers), starting 52 of the 76 aforementioned games. With the Nets, he averaged 12.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 6.0 assists before being traded to the Toronto Raptors and later waived on Feb. 4. After signing with the Lakers for the remainder of the 2023-24 season, Dinwiddie averaged 6.8 points, 1.7 rebounds and 2.4 assists.
The 31-year-old guard returns to the Mavericks after playing in Dallas for portions of the 2021-22 and 22-23 seasons, where he averaged 17.1 points, 3.1 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 32.3 minutes through 76 games (60 starts).
