The Dallas Mavericks let legend J.J. Barea walk during training camp. They wanted to go younger and more athletic with Wesley Iwundu grabbing the final roster spot. The veteran had no plans of retiring, so he signed with Estudiantes in Spain. The 36-year-old is hoping to use it as a springboard back to the NBA.
Barea is starting at the point for his new Spanish side. They had won two of their last three games entering Saturday’s contest against Zaragoza. The veteran has added much-needed playmaking and shooting, but would it be enough to make it three out of four?
