DALLAS — The Mavericks on Friday announced the waiving of 32-year-old veteran Kemba Walker, whose veteran-minimum contract would have become guaranteed on Saturday.
Walker appeared in nine games for Dallas, including a start in Cleveland during which he scored a season-high 32 points.
A Mavericks person with knowledge of the situation cited the development of rookie Jaden Hardy and play of McKinley Wright the IV as part of the decision to waive Walker. Hardy scored 15 points in 15 second-half minutes in Thursday’s blowout home loss to Boston.
