The Dallas Mavericks, in desperate need of wing depth, signed A.J. Lawson to a two-way contract in late December. He spent some time in the G League, but never really cracked the Mavericks’ rotation. Lawson only saw time when the game was a blowout, which didn’t happen often this season.
Lawson appeared in 14 games for the Mavericks, averaging 7.2 minutes per game. He put up averages of 3.7 points and 1.4 rebounds this season. But again, he didn’t get much time to get in a rhythm.

Lawson put up 12 points and grabbed six rebounds against the Chicago Bulls in the penultimate game of the season.
