In his one season with Mavericks, Dennis had 22 points in his four games played, with one block, eight defensive rebounds and one offensive rebound, before heading down to the NBA G League.

Dennis has been a key player in the NBA G League, making a name for himself as he has played for four different teams and has played in 62 games. During the 2024-2025 season, Dennis played his best G League ball averaging 13.8 points per game.
