Mavericks: Waived G Klay Thompson.

The Dallas Mavericks, sitting at 26–56 and ranked #12 in the Western Conference, have a power ranking of #21 and a net rating of –5.4. After a recent win that gave them a one‑game streak, the team went 3‑7 in its last ten games. In an effort to adjust their roster, the Mavericks have waived guard Klay Thompson.

Thompson, who spent the season with the Miami Heat, posted averages of 11.7 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game while shooting 39.3% from the field over 69 games. His departure from Dallas clears a spot on the Mavericks’ roster, giving the club flexibility to explore other options as they look to improve their standing before the season concludes.
