After signing a contract with the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night, Jamaal Magloire hopes to debut against the Spurs on Thursday, according to Marc Stein of ESPN.com.

He was scheduled to practice with his new team on Wednesday after agreeing to a pro-rated share of the veteran's minimum of $1.03 million.

"I've never seen a guy work so hard when he isn't playing," Kidd told ESPN.com of Magloire, who was his teammate in New Jersey just a week ago.
