The Dallas Mavericks will sign Josh Akognon to a 10-day contract on Thursday, according to sources.

Akognon went to training camp with the Mavericks but ended up playing in China when he did not make Dallas' regular season roster.

Akognon will take the roster spot of Justin Dentmon, who was informed after Tuesday night's loss to the Lakers that he will not receive a second 10-day deal.
