Jonathan Gibson: Waived by Mavericks

Gibson has been waived by the Mavericks, Earl Sneed of the Mavericks' official site reports.

Gibson had a nice preseason, playing in seven games and averaging 7.1 points, 3.0 assists and 1.6 rebounds in 14.8 minutes of action per game, and looked like a prime candidate to win a roster spot. However, the Mavericks chose to go a different direction, keeping two undrafted free agent rookies in Dorian Finney-Smith and Nicolas Brussino. Gibson was one of the Chinese Basketball Association's top scorers in 2015-16, so it will be interesting to see whether he decides to return to China for the coming season.
