Dallas officially signed the guard Dante Ekum
The Dallas Mavericks were officially signed again watchman Dante EkumThe team announced Tuesday. Exum and MAVs agreed at first on a one-year contract in early July. Dallas had to create a room on the list, though, leading team to Request a waiver of Olivier-Makence Prosperite.
Prosperity, the former choice of the first round, could not establish a specific role in Mavericks. He enjoyed some great moments, but Dallas already has a lot of wings / front. Mavericks needed a depth of the guard behind D’Angel Russell with Kirie Irving, it was expected to be out until the beginning of 2026. Years.
As a result, Dante Ekum appeared as a clear candidate for return. Safe enough, MAVs really bring Exum.
The 30-year-old guard now spent two seasons in Dallas. It is limited to 20 games played due to injury in 2024-25, average 8.7 points, 2.8 also helps 1.7 jumps per exit. EXUM was also recorded 47.8 percent from the field and 43.4 percent outside the arch.
Veteran influenced Maverike. Dallas clearly believes in him as a spare guard. There are rumors proposed Cooper Flagg as a candidate to earn some time to play at the point of the guardBut Ekum will still be a formal backup of the team in position.
It was probably a difficult decision to move on from progress. Although he was yet to find his leg at the NBA level, Prosper was a former choice of the first round. Dallas had great hopes for the front in 2023. years. Maybe he’ll get another chance with a new team at some point down the road.
Meanwhile, Maverike will move forward with Dante Equo who is now officially placed to return.
