King and the Mavericks agreed Monday on a 10-day contract, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
King is joining Dallas on a hardship exemption while the Mavericks are currently without three players due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols and three more due to injuries or personal matters. A 27-year-old wing, King, who previously made one appearance at the NBA level for Phoenix in 2018-19, isn't likely to play a prominent role in the Dallas rotation for the length of his stay on the roster. He had been playing with the G League's Agua Caliente Clippers, averaging 13.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.5 triples, 2.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.7 blocks in 31.2 minutes per game across 11 appearances.
