'It's kind of surreal': BYU's Collinsworth savoring time with Mavericks

Former BYU star Kyle Collinsworth is ready for his second year in the G-League as a member of the Texas Legends. He has signed a two-way contract with the Dallas Mavericks.

DALLAS — Late Monday night, Kyle Collinsworth got the call he’d been waiting for: he was headed to the NBA.

It was Bob MacKinnon Jr., Collinsworth’s coach with the NBA G-League’s Texas Legends for the past year and a half, who delivered the news that the Dallas Mavericks were signing Collinsworth, 26, as a two-way player.

“I grew up a huge Mavs fan, so it’s kind of surreal,” he said Tuesday after his first regular-season NBA practice.
