The Dallas Mavericks revealed two roster changes on Thursday as they work to finalize the 2024-25 roster.
The Dallas Mavericks made two roster changes on Thursday. Dallas previously signed a contract with Kessler Edwards. The Mavericks formally confirmed the transaction on Thursday, signing Edwards to a two-way contract. Dallas also requested waivers for Alex Fudge, who was on a two-way contract.
Edwards will wear number 20 for the Mavericks. Meanwhile, Fudge joined the Mavs for the 2023-24 season and appeared in two NBA games. Fudge also participated on the Mavericks’ NBA Summer League team. Dallas is now ready to move forward as Edwards joins the roster.
He could eventually make an impact for the Mavericks. Edwards made his NBA debut with the Brooklyn Nets during the 2021-22 season. He joined the Sacramento Kings in 2022-23 and will remain there for the 2023-24 season.
Edwards has not received much playing time in the NBA overall. He has averaged just 11.9 minutes per outing so far in his NBA career. The 23-year-old features potential as versatile forward with scoring upside, though.
Mavericks are close to finalizing their 2024-25 roster.
The Mavericks’ 2024-25 roster is nearly complete. Barring a late-season trade, Dallas’ starting lineup will most likely consist of Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, Klay Thompson, PJ Washington, and either Dereck Lively II or Daniel Gafford. Dallas’ bench is also intriguing, with Quentin Grimes, Naji Marshall, and Spencer Dinwiddie joining the squad.
One of the biggest uncertainties for the Mavericks is whether they will re-sign veteran Markieff Morris. Morris is currently a candidate for a roster position. Morris did not play much for the Mavs in 2023-24, but his leadership contributed significantly to the team’s overall success.
In the end, the Mavs feature a talented overall roster. The upcoming 2024-25 season projects to be an exciting campaign in Dallas.
