The Dallas Mavericks<\/a> are waiving veteran Tyus Jones<\/a> and signing two-way guard Ryan Nembhard<\/a> to a new two-year contract, Todd Ramasar and Jaafar Choufani of Life Sports Agency told ESPN.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shams CharaniaMar 1, 2026, 02:11 AM CloseShams Charania is a senior NBA insider for ESPN.
