Overview

  • The Mavericks signed Gonzaga point guard Ryan Nembhard and Auburn guard Miles Kelly to two-way undrafted free-agent contracts on June 27, 2025.
  • Nembhard led NCAA Division I with 9.7 assists per game last season and will split time between the NBA and G League to refine his playmaking.
  • Kelly averaged over 11 points per game at Auburn with a 38 percent three-point shooting rate and brings sharpshooting depth to Dallas’s backcourt.
  • Dallas holds one remaining two-way undrafted contract and will assess its young roster during the July 10 Summer League opener against the Lakers.
  • With the free-agency window opening June 30, the team plans to pursue a stopgap point guard to start while Kyrie Irving recovers from ACL surgery.
