Jamarion Sharp's Return to the Mavericks
The Dallas Mavericks have finalized a deal to re-sign 7-foot-5 center Jamarion Sharp, as reported by Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. Sharp, 24, previously signed with the Mavericks in August 2024 after going undrafted from Mississippi but was waived before the start of the season. He subsequently joined the Texas Legends, the Mavericks' G League affiliate, where he had a notable performance during the 2024-25 season, averaging 6.4 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 3.3 blocks per game.
Sharp's impressive statistics included a shooting percentage of 61.8% from the field, and he was recognized for his defensive prowess, ranking among the top shot-blockers in the G League. His contributions earned him a spot on the NBA G League United Team that participated in the 2025 FIBA Intercontinental Cup.
Contract Details and Roster Implications
The terms of Sharp's new contract have not been disclosed, but it is expected to be an Exhibit 10 deal. This type of contract allows for a bonus of up to $85,300 if Sharp is waived again and spends at least 60 days with the Legends. With this signing, the Mavericks' roster will expand to 20 players, just one short of the offseason limit. The team currently has 15 players under standard contracts and two two-way slots filled, providing Sharp an opportunity to compete for a two-way contract during training camp.
Impact on the Mavericks' Roster
Sharp's return comes as the Mavericks look to bolster their frontcourt depth. His ability to protect the rim and contribute on the boards could be crucial for the team as they prepare for the upcoming season. The Mavericks have been actively reshaping their roster, and Sharp's performance in the G League has positioned him as a potential asset.
Criticism & Opposition
While the Mavericks' decision to re-sign Sharp has been met with optimism regarding his defensive capabilities, some analysts question the depth of the team's frontcourt. With established players already in the lineup, there are concerns about how effectively Sharp can integrate into the Mavericks' system and contribute at the NBA level.
