Dwight Powell plans to return to Mavericks — one way or the other

The Mavericks have an assortment of question marks about their roster moving forward, but one of them that doesn’t appear to be a mystery is Dwight Powell.

The center/forward will be going into his sixth season and he has a player option to return for the 2019-20 season that will pay him a shade over $10 million.

Free agency always brings with it an element of risk. But Powell took that out of the equation Thursday as the Mavericks went through exit interviews with coaches, front-office staff and media members.

“I definitely want to be here,” Powell said.
