The Sioux Falls Skyforce have acquired guard Dominique Johnson.
Johnson averaged 9.4 points and 2.5 rebounds in 35 games with the Canton Charge this season. He holds NBA Development League career averages of 11.7 points and 3.4 rebounds in 107 games with the Texas Legends (72) and Canton (35). The two-time NAIA All-American averaged 17.2 points and 3.8 rebounds in two seasons (72 games) at Azusa Pacific University.
The Maine Red Claws have acquired 7-5 center Will Foster. Foster replaces center Garrett Stutz who has been added to the Inactive List after falling ill during the team’s current five-game road trip.
Foster, 25, spent 30 games with the Sioux Falls Skyforce this season, averaging 3.4 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game in 15.8 minutes played. Foster, a teammate of current Red Claw Micah Downs at Gonzaga, was waived by the Skyforce on March 5. The 7-5, 260 lbs. center is in his third professional season, splitting the 2011-12 season between the Idaho Stampede, Rio Grande Valley Vipers and Skyforce. Foster has also played overseas with teams in Portugal and the Dominican Republic.
The Springfield Armor have acquired guard Dominique Jones from the NBA Development League’s available player pool.
Jones (6-5, 215, South Florida) appeared in 29 games (three starts) with the Dallas Mavericks this season, averaging 4.0 points and 2.9 assists in 11.7 minutes per game before being waived on March 9.
Jones has also appeared in 13 games (10 starts) during two NBA D-League assignments with the Texas Legends, the Mavericks’ affiliate, and holds career NBA D-League averages of 17.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.4 assists in 33.8 minutes per game.
The Austin Toros have acquired guard Lester Hudson.
Hudson played five games for the Toros last season (March, 2012) before earning NBA call-ups from the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Memphis Grizzlies. In five games with the Toros, Hudson averaged 17.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 29 minutes of play.
Free agent guard Dominique Jones has signed with the Springfield Armor of the NBA D-League, his agent told RealGM.
While Jones received interest from two NBA teams since being waived by the Dallas Mavericks on March 9, the 24-year-old believes playing in the D-League will allow him to log significant minutes and continue to develop. Jones is still open to signing with an NBA team before the end of the season, preferably under a contract that is partially guaranteed for next season.
Jones will report to Springfield on Monday and is expected to play Tuesday against the Erie BayHawks.
“Dominique just wants to keep growing, keep improving, and he’ll get a chance to do that now,” agent Michael Hodges said Friday.
The former first-round pick acquired by the Mavericks in the 2010 draft, Jones averaged four points and almost three assists in 29 games this season. He averaged 17.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.4 rebounds in 13 games over the past two seasons with the Texas Legends, the Mavericks’ D-League affiliate.
