Former Gonzaga point guard Ryan Nembhard is on the move after his rookie season with the Dallas Mavericks.<\/p>\n
The trade, which was approved by the NBA on Sunday, involves three teams: The Mavericks are sending Nembhard to the Atlanta Hawks, the Oklahoma City Thunder are sending Lu Dort to Atlanta, and the Hawks are sending former No. 1 overall pick Zaccharie Risacher to Dallas. Oklahoma City is receiving three second-round picks from Atlanta.<\/p>\n
Nembhard just competed with Dallas at the NBA Summer League days ago, where he played in two games but missed the Mavericks’ final three games due to an illness.<\/p>\n
In his rookie season, Nembhard played in 60 games, including 27 starts for the Mavericks. He averaged 19.5 minutes, 6.6 points and 5.3 assists per game while shooting 41.5% from the field and 35.6% from 3-point range.<\/p>\n
The move links up Nembhard with former Zag Corey Kispert in Atlanta.<\/p>\n
Last season, the Hawks made it to the NBA playoffs but lost to the eventual NBA champion New York Knicks in the first round.<\/p>\n
This offseason, Dallas made major changes in the front office, including hiring former Michigan head coach Dusty May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Gonzaga point guard Ryan Nembhard is on the move after his rookie season with the Dallas Mavericks.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":792399,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3793],"tags":[7,686,149,4057,10128,4251,166,6,10125,10127,66,10126,10129],"class_list":["post-792398","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas-mavericks","tag-basketball","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-mavericks","tag-dallasmavericks","tag-local-sports-news","tag-local-sports","tag-mavericks","tag-nba","tag-spokane","tag-spokane-sports","tag-sports","tag-sports-spokane","tag-wasington"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116959700820853070","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/792398","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=792398"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/792398\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/792399"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=792398"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=792398"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=792398"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
