• Kylor Kelley: Cut by Dallas

  Rotowire Mar 2, 2025

  The Mavericks will waive Kelley on Sunday, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports. The transaction will free up a spot for center Kai Jones, whom the Mavericks are expected to sign to a two-way deal once he clears waivers. Despite the Mavericks' depth at center being tested by numerous injuries, Kelley struggled to find playing time since making a 34-minute start in his third NBA game Feb. 2. During his time with Dallas, Kelley appeared in eight games and averaged 3.0 points and 2.6 rebounds in 8.4 minutes.

• Mavericks' Kylor Kelley: Slides to bench Tuesday

  Rotowire Feb 4, 2025

  Kelley is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports. After making a spot start in Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Kelley is expected to head back to the Mavericks' bench Wednesday with the team much healthier. The undrafted rookie has averaged 3.0 rebounds, 2.5 points and 0.5 blocks in 7.8 minutes across two games from Dallas' second unit this year, so it's not a lock that he'll see the floor against Philadelphia.

  Kelley will start Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Mavericks radio play-by-play broadcaster Chuck Cooperstein reports. With Anthony Davis (abdomen) not ready to make his Dallas debut and P.J. Washington (knee), Daniel Gafford (ankle) and Dereck Lively (ankle) all sidelined as well, Kelley will make his first career start and face off against a formidable frontcourt of Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley. In 16 total minutes this season, Kelley has posted five points, five rebounds and a block. The only available backups behind Kelley and Olivier-Maxence Prosper are Naji Marshall and Kessler Edwards.

• Mavericks' Kylor Kelley: Gets two-way deal

  Rotowire Jan 26, 2025

  Kelley signed a two-way contract with the Mavericks on Sunday. Since going undrafted out of Oregon State in 2020, Kelley has yet to make his NBA debut, but he could get the chance to do so in the near future with the Mavericks, who are without centers Dereck Lively (ankle) and Maxi Kleber (foot) due to long-term injuries. Dwight Powell (hip) will also remain out for Monday's game against the Wizards, so Kelley could enter the rotation right away as a backup to Daniel Gafford. Over his 23 appearances in the G League this season with the South Bay Lakers, the seven-footer averaged 11.0 points (on 67.5 percent shooting from the field), 7.2 rebounds, 2.4 blocks and 1.7 assists in 27.6 minutes per game.
