Dallas Mavericks sign Kemba Walker to boost backcourt

The Dallas Mavericks have signed veteran guard Kemba Walker to address their glaring need for another creator in Luka Doncic's supporting cast.

Dallas waived reserve point guard Facundo Campazzo, whose contract is nonguaranteed, to create an open roster spot for Walker.

The Mavericks officially announced Walker's signing on Tuesday.

Walker, 32, a four-time All-Star whose career has been derailed by knee issues, has been a free agent since being waived by the Detroit Pistons in mid-October. He averaged 11.6 points and 3.5 assists in 37 games last season for the New York Knicks, who traded him to the Pistons on draft night in a cost-cutting move that helped create the salary-cap space for New York to sign former Mavericks guard Jalen Brunson in free agency.
