The Dallas Mavericks have signed Jett Howard to a two-way contract. To create the roster spot, the Mavericks have waived Tyler Smith from his two-way contract.

Howard appeared in 55 games last season with the Orlando Magic, averaging 5.5 points and 1.6 rebounds while shooting 37.2 percent on three-pointers in 12.6 minutes. Howard was the 11th overall pick in the 2023 NBA draft out of Michigan. The Magic declined to pick up their fourth year option on Howard last October, which set him up for unrestricted free agency this offseason.

Smith appeared in 12 games last season with the Mavericks, averaging 4.7 points and 2.8 rebounds in 13.8 minutes. Smith was also on a two-way contract with the Houston Rockets last season but didn't appear in any games.
