The Dallas Mavericks had been dealing with several injuries lately. Kyrie Irving and Maxi Kleber continue to be sidelined while Dereck Lively II and Josh Green recently made their return to the lineup. Amid the shifting rotation, the Mavs decided to change up the roster a little bit by signing G League standout Brandon Williams to a two-way contract as per Shams Charania of The Athletic.

The Mavs move to sign Brandon Williams comes as they already have all three of their available two-way contract slots occupied. One of Greg Brown, Dexter Dennis or AJ Lawson will have to be waived in order for the Mavs to make room for Williams on the roster.
