The Dallas Mavericks are one step closer to finalizing their roster. The team is signing guard Tyler Dorsey to a two-way contract, according to Shams Charania. Dallas later announced the signing. Dorsey joining the Mavericks is just a formality at this point. Multiple reports from European media indicated that Dallas was interested in signing Dorsey earlier this summer. His two-way deal will be his first NBA contract since 2019. Dorsey has spent the last four years playing overseas. He started his Euroleague career with Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv in Israel in 2019. Most recently, he played for Olympiacos Piraeus in Greece for the 2021-22 season. In both Euroleague and HEBA A1 play, he averaged 11.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists. In HEBA A1, he helped the club to the Greek League title and garnered Greek Cup MVP honors. Olympiacos also made the EuroLeague Final Four last season.
Known as a gifted shooter from the University of Oregon, where he played for two seasons before entering the NBA Draft, Dorsey shot 44% overall with Olympiacos. He also made 38.7% of his three-point attempts.
