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.

Speaking before Tuesday night's game against Golden State, coach Jason Kidd said the club hoped to get Walker on the court for practice Wednesday. He hasn't played since Feb. 16.

Dallas signed Walker in the midst of a four-game losing streak and a stretch of seven games in 11 days before the next time the team gets multiple days off.
