The Mavs’ official rosters for both tournaments have not been released yet, as undrafted rookies and veteran free agents are eligible to compete in both tournaments. Last season, for example, undrafted rookie Brandon Ashley competed for the Atlanta Hawks in Las Vegas before signing with the Mavericks in the preseason and playing with the D-League’s Texas Legends. Ashley is one of several Legends expected to play for Dallas in Orlando, although nothing is official yet.
Between Thursday’s NBA Draft and Summer League season starting just one week later, basketball truly never stops. Keep it locked on Mavs.com to keep up with all the latest news as the offseason heats up.
