Dallas Mavericks reuniting with former guard on 1-year deal

The Dallas Mavericks are expected to make another addition to their roster.

And it’s a familiar name.

The Western Conference champions are reportedly close to signing veteran guard Spencer Dinwiddie to a one-year contract..

Dinwiddie, 31, scored 17.7 points per game with the Mavericks during the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons.

He split time last season between Brooklyn and the Los Angeles Lakers, averaging 10.5 points in 76 games (52 starts) overall.

For his career, Dinwiddie is averaging 13.3 points and 5.2 assists in 542 games (315 starts) with the Detroit Pistons, Nets, Washington Wizards, Mavericks and Lakers. He averaged a career-best 20.6 points per game in 2019-20 with Brooklyn.

Dinwiddie was selected in the second round of the 2014 draft by the Pistons.

The expected signing is the latest in a series of offseason moves for the Mavericks, who also acquired Klay Thompson in a sign-and-trade with the Golden State Warriors.

The Mavs also traded guard TIm Hardaway Jr. for guard Quentin Grimes.
