Mavericks Sign Jazian Gortman to Two-Way Deal

The Dallas Mavericks have signed guard Jazian Gortman to a two-way contract, waiving A.J. Lawson to make room for him. Gortman, who showcased his skills in the preseason with an average of 10.3 points on 51.6% shooting, has transitioned from the G League and previously played with Overtime Elite. This contract allows him to split time between the Mavericks and their G League affiliate, the Texas Legends, where he can develop further. Although his lack of college experience may pose challenges, the Mavericks are optimistic about his defensive contributions and overall potential. Gortman's performance will be closely monitored as he adapts to the NBA's competitive environment.
