The Mavericks, decimated at the point guard spot by health issues, signed two emergency ballhandlers Thursday afternoon.
Carlik Jones, who is familiar with the Mavericks’ system after his stint in summer league and training camp, was signed off the Texas Legends roster. He had started 10 games for the G-League affiliate of the Mavericks and averaged 20.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.7 assists.
Minutes later, the team announced they signed eight-year NBA veteran Brandon Knight. He has career averages of 14.1 points and 4 assists and was playing with Sioux Falls in the G-league.
Both players were signed via the COVID-19 hardship allowance.
