Brandon Williams FINALLY has a contract — and some financial security

MEMPHIS — Since he joined the NBA in 2021 as an undrafted rookie out of Arizona, point guard Brandon Williams has been paying his bills

by signing a bunch of 10-day and two-way contracts. In other words, he’s been playing for peanuts — by NBA standards.

But that all came to an abrupt end on Thursday when the Dallas Mavericks converted Williams’ two-way contract into a standard two-year contract. So, after years of waiting to receive some financial security, obviously what transpired Thursday called for a huge celebration on Williams’ part, right?
