The Dallas Mavericks are waiving veteran Tyus Jones, and signing two-way guard Ryan Nembhard to a new two-year contract, Todd Ramasar and Jaafar Choufani of Life Sports Agency told ESPN.
Nembhard brought a spark on his two-way deal, averaging 9.9 points, 6.1 assists and 44.4% 3-point shooting in 17 starts. He has played in 38 games overall and now receives a chance to finish the season in the Mavericks' rotation.
Dallas will have financial flexibility and a lottery pick this summer -- allowing his deal to provide optionality in Nembhard's long-term future with the Mavericks.
