McKinley Wright IV's Mavs Gamble Pays Off, Earns 2-Way Contract McKinley Wright IV earned a two-way contract from the Dallas Mavericks after being a training camp standout.
OCTOBER 15, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
McKinley Wright IV - Gets two-way contract The Mavericks signed Wright to a two-way contract Saturday.
Impact Wright inked a training camp contract with the Mavs in mid-August and impressed the brass enough to keep a spot following cuts. He still figures to split time between the NBA and the G League during the 2022-23 campaign.

Mavs' Preseason Win Over Jazz: 4 Big Observations The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Utah Jazz in their preseason finale. Here are some observations from the performance.
OCTOBER 15, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Tim Hardaway Jr. - Scores 20 points off bench Hardaway registered 20 points (5-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 6-10 FT), one rebound, one assist and two steals across 25 minutes Friday in an exhibition victory versus Utah.
Impact Hardaway made the most of his seven field-goal attempts, knocking down five shots -- including four from three-point range. The sharpshooter has averaged at least 2.3 triples per contest in each of his past five NBA seasons, giving him single-category appeal in fantasy. He worked mostly as a reserve last season but could move into the starting unit for the coming campaign.
OCTOBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Wood - Wraps preseason with double-double Wood tallied 12 points (2-7 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds, one assists, one steal and two blocked shots over 23 minutes in a preseason win over the Jazz on Friday.
Impact Wood struggled to put the ball in the hole, but that was largely because all seven of his shot attempts came from three-point range. Despite the inefficient offensive performance, he finished with his second preseason double-double, grabbing a team-high 10 boards. Wood played in three exhibition contests, averaging 17.0 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.3 triples per contest. He's expected to work as a reserve but should see enough minutes to be productive.
OCTOBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Luka Doncic - Concludes preseason with 24 points Doncic totaled 24 points (9-18 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five assists, three rebounds, two steals and two blocked shots over 30 minutes Friday in a win over Utah.
Impact Doncic struggled from beyond the arc but made seven of nine field-goal attempts from two-point range. The star point guard also led the Mavs with five assists and contributed a pair of blocks and steals on the defensive end. Dallas opted to rest Doncic through most of the preseason, as he played in only two exhibition games. However, he'll be a full-go for the team's regular-season opener and figures to be among fantasy's most productive players again this season.

Reggie Bullock - Starting Friday Bullock is in the starting lineup for the Mavericks' final preseason game against the Jazz, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Bullock will start alongside Luka Doncic, Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith and JaVale McGee. This looks like the lineup Dallas will use to start the season, and it is no surprise that Bullock is getting the starting nod at small forward. He averaged 8.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.6 steals and 2.1 triples across 28.0 minutes in 68 games for the Mavericks last year and projects to see a similar role this season.
OCTOBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Spencer Dinwiddie - Starting preseason finale Dinwiddie will start Friday's preseason finale against the Jazz, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Dinwiddie is expected to be the Mavericks' sixth man when everyone is healthy, which would allow Tim Hardaway to start at shooting guard. Regardless of whether he's starting or not, Dinwiddie is expected to be a major contributor and will likely be part of Dallas' closing units to end games.
OCTOBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Green - Coming off bench Green will play a reserve role in the Mavericks' preseason finale versus the Jazz, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Green, fresh off the Mavericks exercising his fourth-year option, will come off the bench in the team's final exhibition contest. He projects to provide depth on the wing for the team this year.
OCTOBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jaden Hardy - Returns to bench Friday Hardy is not in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason matchup with the Jazz, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Hardy started last Friday's preseason matchup with the Magic and posted six points, three assists and two rebounds in 20 minutes. However, with the return of the Mavericks' normal starters, Hardy will move back to his usual reserve role.
OCTOBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Davis Bertans - Unavailable Friday Bertans (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's preseason game against the Jazz.
Impact Bertans continues to deal with a right knee effusion and won't be able to take the court during the preseason. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Suns.
