Jonathan Motley, the standout center from Baylor, will join the Mavericks as an undrafted free agent, a source confirmed.
Motley, who has been bothered by a knee injury which is a major reason why he wasn't selected in Thursday's draft, will sign one of the new two-way contracts, which is designed to allow a player to play for the Texas Legends in the NBA G-League but also can be paid an NBA minimum salary for up to 45 days, the maximum amount of time he can spend with the Mavericks as a rookie. The news first was reported by Yahoo.
