The Mavericks likely want to bring back a key role player, but an obscure NBA rule won't let them.
Last season, the Dallas Mavericks' injury curse was one of the most bizarre sequences of bad luck that we've seen in franchise history. As soon as a player would get healthy, another guy would go down, and Dallas just wasn't healthy enough to be a true contender when it was all said and done though.
One player who quietly benefitted from the Mavs' injury bug was Kessler Edwards, as he ended up playing in 40 games and starting 18 games despite being on a two-way deal.
