Mavs Rookie Recall: Dallas Adds 2 to Roster
The Dallas Mavericks roster got a boost of youth on Sunday morning when the team announced their recall of rookies Josh Green and Tyler Bey from their G League assignments with the Salt Lake City Stars
The pair did not play for the Mavs G League affiliates, the Texas Legends, due to the Legends' decision to opt-out of the league's campus. As a result of the Legends' choice not to participate, the Mavs were allowed to assign Bey and Green to Salt Lake City using the league’s flexible assignment and two-way rules.
After being selected with the 18th overall pick in the first round in the 2020 NBA Draft, Green saw action in 17 games for the Mavs before his flex-assignment on February 18.
