[Saba Sports News] The Dallas Mavericks are reuniting with a player who helped them reach the postseason just two years ago.
Veteran guard Spencer Dinwiddie has agreed to a one-year deal with the Mavericks, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. Dinwiddie previously played for the Mavericks after being traded from the Washington Wizards midway through the 2021-22 season. He averaged 15.8 points per game in 23 regular-season games and played a key role in the playoffs, where Dallas reached the Western Conference Finals.
Dinwiddie returned to the Mavericks the following season, averaging 17.7 points and 5.3 assists per game before being traded to the Brooklyn Nets. During his second stint with the Nets, Dinwiddie had his best season, averaging 20.6 points per game in 2019-20.
Most recently, Dinwiddie played for the Los Angeles Lakers, who considered bringing him back. Instead, the 31-year-old will add much-needed depth to the backcourt for the defending Western Conference champions.
