Mavericks, Spencer Dinwiddie agree to 1-year deal: Sources

Spencer Dinwiddie and the Dallas Mavericks have agreed to a one-year deal, according to league sources, reuniting him with the team he helped to the 2022 conference finals. Dinwiddie first arrived in Dallas at the 2022 trade deadline in the Kristaps Porziņģis deal, coming off the bench behind Luka Dončić and Jalen Brunson and was traded one deadline later for Kyrie Irving. Dinwiddie’s best shooting seasons came in Dallas, where the career 33.3 percent 3-point shooter raised his percentages to 40.4 percent across 76 games. According to league sources, Dallas had also contemplated reuniting with another guard from the team’s recent history, Dennis Smith Jr., but ultimately chose Dinwiddie as the roster’s final roster spot.
