One prospect who Mavericks fans have been following for over a year has missed every Summer League game so far.
With the No. 51 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, the Dallas Mavericks selected Melvin Ajinca from France. Dallas had to trade up seven spots to grab Ajinca, and the Mavs decided to utilize him as a draft-and-stash player for the next year. Ajinca spent the past year playing for LDLC of the EuroLeague, and Mavs fans were ecstatic to watch him in Summer League this year playing alongside players like Cooper Flagg, Miles Kelly, and Ryan Nembhard.
