Next man up for shorthanded Mavericks could be Iwundu

Wesley Iwundu has yet to make an impact with the Mavericks, but he knows it’s just a matter of time until the opportunity arises.

It always does in Rick Carlisle’s system.

And it could come sooner than later.

With the Mavericks fighting a slew of medical issues that will leave them shorthanded tonight against Orlando, Iwundu could be in line for more playing time against his former team.

So far, the 6-6 Iwundu has only seen action in half of the Mavericks’ eight games, playing modest minutes in each.

But he knows there is one rule to live by in the NBA: always be ready.
