The Dallas Mavericks are signing guard Ryan Nembhard to a new two-year contract, according to Todd Ramasar and Jaafar Choufani of Life Sports Agency per ESPN. The move rewards the young guard for his significant contributions while playing on a two-way contract earlier this season.
Nembhard has proven to be a reliable asset for the Mavericks rotation. During his time on a two-way deal, he provided a necessary spark, particularly when inserted into the starting lineup. In 17 starts, Nembhard averaged 9.9 points and 6.1 assists per game, showcasing his ability to facilitate the offense and score efficiently.
One of the most impressive aspects of Nembhard's performance has been his perimeter shooting. He connected on 44.4% of his 3-point attempts during his starts, providing the Mavericks with valuable spacing. This new two-year agreement ensures that Nembhard will remain a part of the Dallas roster as they look to solidify their backcourt depth.
The transition from a two-way spot to a standard NBA contract is a testament to Nembhard's development and impact on the floor. Further details regarding the financial terms of the deal have not yet been disclosed.
