The post Mavericks sign ex-Lakers guard in reunion with Anthony Davis<\/a> appeared first on ClutchPoints<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Dallas Mavericks<\/a> signed guard<\/a> D\u2019Moi Hodge on Friday, the team announced. Dallas further boosts its guard depth with the signing, a move that comes just a day after it was reported that the Mavs and Dennis Smith Jr. agreed to a contract<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hodge played with the Greek team Aris Thessaloniki during the 2024-25 campaign. In 2023-24, however, Hodge played with the Los Angeles Lakers on a two-way contract, appearing in seven NBA games. He was teammates with former Lakers and current Mavs players Anthony Davis<\/a>, Max Christie<\/a> and D\u2019Angelo Russell during that span.<\/p>\n

Hodge averaged 2.0 points per outing while recording 5.9 minutes per game during his seven contests in the NBA. Overall, he\u2019s played in 30 total G League games, averaging 12.6 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists per outing.<\/p>\n

Hodge features legitimate two-way player potential at the NBA level. He\u2019s a quality defender who is no stranger to causing havoc on the defensive end of the floor. Hodge can defend opposing point or shooting guards.<\/p>\n

Offensively, Hodge offers the ability to space the floor. His ceiling suggests he can become a reliable three-point shooter in the NBA.<\/p>\n

This is a signing that will not receive much attention. It could prove to be an underrated move, though. Hodge may not feature superstar potential, but he could become a good player at the NBA level. He needs an opportunity, however.<\/p>\n

Mavericks\u2019 training camp is right around the corner<\/a>. There is plenty of competition on the roster, but D\u2019Moi Hodge will try to impress Jason Kidd and the Mavs in hopes of earning a roster spot.<\/p>\n

With Kyrie Irving likely out until early 2026, Dallas has addressed its guard questions by signing D\u2019Angelo Russell, re-signing Dante Exum and bringing in Smith as previously mentioned. Regardless, Hodge could still end up making an impact at some point down the road.<\/p>\n
