Pelicans, Spurs and Kings add players as Mavericks waive Diaz Graham
The Pelicans re-signed center Hunter Dickinson to a non-guaranteed training camp deal after waiving him in August.
The Spurs signed wing Kendall Brown, and the Kings added center David Muoka, both on training camp contracts.
The Mavericks requested waivers on Jorge Diaz Graham, a forward-center who joined Dallas on Tuesday and played in a preseason game.
These moves involve four NBA teams preparing their rosters for the season, and the three new training camp deals do not guarantee places on the teams.
Dickinson, Brown and Muoka are expected to be waived before the season starts, which could make them eligible for bonuses of up to $91,000 if they spend at least 60 days with their teams’ G League affiliates.
The likely next step for those three is time in the G League, while the Mavericks have requested waivers on Diaz Graham.
