Williams, recovering from a hamstring strain, played only two preseason minutes, while Martin and Gafford didn’t play at all.

Smith was selected by the Mavericks out of North Carolina State with the 9th overall pick in the 2017 NBA draft. He earned All-Rookie honors in 2017-2018, but played just a season and a half with the Mavs before he was dealt to the Knicks as part of the midseason trade that brought Kristaps Porzingis to Dallas.
The Mavericks own the G-League rights of Banton and Robinson-Earl, and are working to secure the G-League rights to fan-favorite Smith, whom the franchise selected with the No. 9 pick of the 2017 draft.
