Mavericks' Jazian Gortman: Gets two-way slot

Gortman agreed to a two-way deal with the Mavericks on Friday, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Gortman had joined Dallas on an Exhibit 10 deal earlier in the summer, but he'll head up securing one of the Mavericks three two-way spots after the team waived A.J. Lawson on Friday. The 21-year-old impressed in the preseason, during which he averaged 10.3 points while shooting 51.6 percent from the field. The guard is expected to spend the majority of his time with the Mavericks' G League affiliate, the Texas Legends.
