DALLAS -- The Mavericks are bringing back forward Markieff Morris, a 13-year veteran who has played sparingly since joining Dallas but brings leadership that is valued by the defending Western Conference champion.
The deal announced Wednesday comes after Morris played 26 regular-season games in 2023-24 before the Mavericks made a run to the NBA Finals, losing in five games to the Boston Celtics.
Morris, 35, averaged 2.5 points in 8.3 minutes for the Mavericks. He joined Dallas in the blockbuster deal that brought star guard Kyrie Irving to the Mavericks before the trade deadline in 2023.
