It was fun while it lasted for Kyle Collinsworth.

Three weeks after becoming a feel-good story, the former BYU star was waived by the Dallas Mavericks after signing a two-way contract and getting his first run in the NBA.

Waiving Collinsworth gave the Mavs room to claim Pelicans free agent Jalen Jones off waivers, according to Yahoo Sports.
