Mavericks Sign Kai Jones to Two-Way Deal

The Dallas Mavericks have signed center Kai Jones to a two-way contract following his release from the Los Angeles Clippers. Jones, the 19th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, averaged 2.2 points and 1.6 rebounds over 28 games with the Clippers this season. His addition comes as the Mavericks are in need of center depth due to injuries to players like Anthony Davis and Daniel Gafford. Moses Brown, who had been starting in the center position, recently had his 10-day contract expire. The Mavericks are optimistic that Jones can contribute to their rotation as they navigate this challenging period. This signing reaffirms the Mavericks' ongoing efforts to bolster their frontcourt amid injury challenges.
