The Dallas Mavericks are not expected to re-sign Christian Wood in free agency, sources tell Tim Cato of The Athletic.
The Mavericks traded a first round pick to acquire Wood on an expiring contract last June. Wood is a talented offensive player, but his limitations on defense were pronounced.
Wood’s agent, Adam Pensack, launched an aggressive behind-the-scenes campaign to media members for his client to be considered an All-Star this season, but sources say the coaching staff of the Mavericks didn't share that view.
When Wood was last a free agent in 2020, he signed a three-year, $41 million contract with the Houston Rockets.
