The Dallas Mavericks have assigned guard Jaden Hardy to the Texas Legends of the NBA G League.

Hardy (6-4, 198) has played 10 minutes in two games with the Mavericks this season, posting two rebounds and one assist. The rookie will be with the Legends through their back-to-back at the Austin Spurs on Friday, Nov. 4, and Saturday, Nov. 5.

Hardy has appeared in two games so far for the Mavericks. 

Luka Doncic's 2022-23 season is off to quite the start. Six games into the season, Doncic is leading the NBA in scoring at 36.7 points per game.

Doncic has scored between 32 and 44 points in each of the Dallas Mavericks first six games. That made Doncic the first player since Michael Jordan in 1986 to open a season with 30 or more points in his first six games of a season. Against the Orlando Magic on Sunday, Doncic hit the 30-point marker before halftime.

For his part, Doncic says he can play even better than he has. That's backed by the fact that the Mavs star is hitting only 22.6% of his three-pointers on the young season. Doncic is also averaging 9.5 rebounds and 8.7 assists, to go along with his gaudy scoring numbers.

Christian Wood is thriving in his first season with the Dallas Mavericks

"Individually, of course, I want to be an All-Star in this league," said Wood. "I think I have a good chance if I get the time and the minutes to show what I can really do. I think I can definitely make a case for that. I want to try to win as many games as I can. I want to get to the playoffs. I haven’t been to the playoffs one time in my career. I want to try to make a run in the playoffs."

Wood will be a free agent this offseason. Wood was asked about his thoughts on the future.

"I guess we’ll see," said Wood. "I haven’t really thought too much about it. I want to win. I’m not worried about a contract or an extension. I’m just focused on trying to win."

The Dallas Mavericks added point guard Facundo Campazzo to their roster right at the end of the preseason. Campazzo hasn't played in either of the Mavs' first two games because of a visa issue.

Dallas coach Jason Kidd said they hope to have Campazzo active and available by the team's next game on Tuesday. The Argentina native is having his visa recalibrated to allow him to continue to work in the United States.

Campazzo joined the Mavericks after two seasons with the Denver Nuggets. The 5-foot-11 guard is expected to help Dallas replace some of the depth they lost at point guard over the summer.

Facundo Campazzo has agreed to sign with the Dallas Mavericks.

Campazzo previously played with Luka Doncic at Real Madrid. 

The Mavericks had a clear need for depth at point guard entering the season.

Facundo Campazzo will sign a one-year deal with the Dallas Mavericks on Monday or Tuesday pending a physical, sources told Marc Stein of Substack.

Campazzo will fill the Mavs' 15th roster spot. 

The Dallas Mavericks have converted McKinley Wright IV to a Two-Way contract. Wright had been with the Mavs on an Exhibit 10 contract for the preseason.

Wright was with the Minnesota Timberwolves on a Two-Way contract last season. He appeared in five NBA games.

In 18 G League games with the Iowa Wolves, Wright averaged 18.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.4 steals per game. The 5-foot-11 point guard moved to Dallas as a free agent this summer. Wright will now split his time between the Mavs and the Texas Legends of the G League.

The Dallas Mavericks are likely to sign Facundo Campazzo sometime early next week, sources told Marc Stein of Substack.

Campazzo is scheduled to arrive in Dallas this weekend.

The team is also closing in on signing McKinley Wright IV to a two-way deal.

The Dallas Mavericks have waived Marcus Bingham Jr., Mouhamadou Gueye, Tyler Hall and D.J. Stewart. All four players were signed to non-guaranteed training camp contracts.

All four players saw limited action for the Mavericks in the preseason. It's expected that all four will land with Dallas' G League affiliate, the Texas Legends, this season.

The Mavs roster now stands at 16 players. Dallas has one player, McKinley Wright IV, remaining on a camp deal. The Mavericks also have one Two-Way roster spot open.
