The Dallas Mavericks have signed Justin Dentmon to a 10-day contract.

The Mavericks elected to sign another point guard out of their D-League affiliate, the Texas Legends.

Chris Wright was not retained by the Mavericks after appearing in three games.

The Dallas Mavericks have decided not to give Chris Wright a second 10-day contract.

The Mavericks will next sign Justin Dentmon to a 10-day from their D-League affiliate, sources told ESPN's Marc Stein.

Wright appeared in three games for the Mavs, playing a total of four minutes. 

"He's been an inspirational figure to a lot of people," Rick Carlisle said. "He's an NBA-caliber player. There's no doubt about that. You do what he's doing -- playing a professional sport with MS -- that's going to be something that a lot of people pay attention to. It shows his motivation, his determination, but it also shows the progress that's been made in that area. 

"It's going to give people hope. That's a great thing."

Representatives from the New York Knicks will be on hand Saturday to scout Delonte West's debut with the Texas Legends.

West, who has bipolar disorder, averaged 9.6 points on 46.1 percent in steady minutes last season for the Dallas Mavericks.

New York currently has 15 players on its roster and would have to release a player to make room for West.

The Dallas Mavericks released Dominique Jones on Saturday after reaching a point of complete frustration with his inconsistent play and off-floor issues.

Dirk Nowitzki hopes Jones manages to remain in the NBA.

“I like Dominique, he was my man,” Nowitzki said. “I think he’s got an NBA body, he’s got the NBA strength.

“Hopefully he’ll be able to find a job next year and he’ll be able to play.”

Jones refused a D-League assignment, according to a source.

“This gives Dominique the opportunity to get the playing time he believes he deserves with another team,” said another source.

“He never really got a real shot at it,”' Nowitzki said. “I like his athleticism, I like what he brought, it just wasn’t a good situation to be in.

“I obviously wish him luck for the future. I was always cool with D-Jones and I wish him luck.”
