The Dallas Mavericks have reportedly agreed to a one-year deal with high-flying scorer Dennis Smith Jr., who scored 15.2 points per game for the Mavs in his rookie season, back in 2017-18.

ESPN’s Shams Charania (who else) was the first to report the news on Thursday evening, after hearing from Smith Jr.’s agent, Daniel Hazan of Hazan Sports Management. Terms of the deal, other than it being one year in length, were not immediately available.

Smith Jr. was named to the 2017-18 NBA All-Rookie Team after scoring 15.2 points and dishing 5.2 assists per game after being selected by Dallas with the ninth overall pick of the 2017 Draft. He spent a year and a half with the Mavericks before being traded to the New York Knicks in the deal that brought Kristaps Porzingis to town in January 2019.
