Jamarion Sharp To Sign With Mavericks

September 10th, 2025 at 8:58pm CST by Arthur Hill

The Mavericks will sign 7’5″ center Jamarion Sharp, sources tell Michael Scotto of HoopsHype (Twitter link). Scotto doesn’t specify the terms of the contract, but it will likely be an Exhibit 10 deal.

Sharp, 24, was in training camp with Dallas last fall, signing an Exhibit 10 contract after going undrafted out of Mississippi. He was waived before the season began and wound up with the Texas Legends, the Mavs’ G League affiliate, where he averaged 5.8 points, 7.1 rebounds and 3.1 blocks per game while shooting 60.1% from the field.

Sharp was named to the NBA G League United Team in this year’s FIBA Intercontinental Cup.

The Exhibit 10 contract will make him eligible for a bonus worth up to $85,300 if he gets waived again and spends at least 60 days with the Legends.

Dallas has 15 players with standard contracts, but only two of its two-way slots are filled, so Sharp could have a chance to compete for the opening in training camp. The signing will bring the Mavericks’ roster to 20 players, one short of the offseason limit.

Cormac Ryan Joins Bucks On Exhibit 10 Contract

September 10th, 2025 at 7:59pm CST by Arthur Hill

Free agent guard Cormac Ryan has signed with the Bucks, the team announced on Twitter. It’s an Exhibit 10 contract, sources tell Eric Nehm of The Athletic (Twitter link).

Ryan, 26, played for Milwaukee during the Las Vegas Summer League. He appeared in five games and averaged 11.8 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 23.1 minutes per night.

Ryan signed an Exhibit 10 contract last fall with the Thunder after going undrafted out of North Carolina. He was waived before the season began and played for the G League’s Oklahoma City Blue, averaging 12.5 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 27 regular season games.

The Exhibit 10 deal can be converted to a two-way contract, but the Bucks currently have all three of their two-way slots filled. Most likely, Ryan will end up with Milwaukee’s G League affiliate, the Wisconsin Herd, where he will be eligible to receive a bonus worth up to $85,300 if he spends at least 60 days with the team.

Ryan’s signing brings the Bucks to the league limit of 21 players on their offseason roster.

Kings Waive Terence Davis

September 10th, 2025 at 4:42pm CST by Arthur Hill

The Kings have waived shooting guard Terence Davis, per the NBA’s official transaction log (hat tip to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype).

Davis, 28, spent most of the past two seasons in the G League. He signed with Sacramento in April and appeared in the final game of the regular season. His contract included a non-guaranteed $2,546,675 salary for the upcoming season, so the Kings won’t be on the hook for any more money after releasing him.

Davis entered the NBA with Toronto in 2019, but he had his best seasons with the Kings after they acquired him at the 2021 trade deadline. He was a valuable scorer off the bench for two and a half years before going to the G League.

He suffered a ruptured Achilles during the 2023/24 season, but was able to fully recover and averaged 14.3 points per game on 40.2% three-point shooting for the Wisconsin Herd last year.

Sacramento is now down to 14 standard contracts, including Keon Ellis, whose $2.3MM deal is also non-guaranteed. The Kings currently have all three of their two-way slots filled, but no other players are on the offseason roster.

Sacramento has been rumored to have interest in trading for Jonathan Kuminga or signing Russell Westbrook, and parting with Davis provides more roster flexibility for either of those moves to occur.

Hawks Sign Charles Bassey To Exhibit 10 Contract

September 10th, 2025 at 3:19pm CST by Luke Adams

The Hawks have signed big man Charles Bassey, the team announced in a press release on Wednesday. It’s a non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 contract, a league source tells Lauren Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (Twitter link).

Bassey was selected by Philadelphia with the 53rd pick in the 2021 draft. He was waived after one year with the Sixers and signed with San Antonio, where he played for the past three seasons.

Injuries were an issue for Bassey during his time with the Spurs — his 2022/23 season was cut short due to a non-displaced patella fracture, then he suffered a season-ending ACL tear in December 2023. The 24-year-old appeared in 36 games in 2024/25, averaging 4.4 points and 4.2 rebounds in 10.4 minutes per night.

Bassey was a standout with the Celtics during Summer League play this July, averaging 15.3 points and 11.0 rebounds per contest in Las Vegas while shooting 70.4% from the field across three outings. He reportedly drew interest from Partizan Belgrade, but has decided to remain stateside as he seeks an NBA roster spot.

While most camp invitees who receive Exhibit 10 contracts don’t end up making their teams’ regular season rosters, there could be a pathway for Bassey to earn a spot in Atlanta. As we detailed last week, the Hawks are carrying just 11 players on fully guaranteed contracts (plus Vit Krejci with a significant partial guarantee), so players with non-guaranteed deals or small partial guarantees – including Bassey, Caleb Houstan, Mouhamed Gueye, and N’Faly Dante – could be vying for two or three roster spots.

Because he has four years of NBA experience, Bassey isn’t eligible to have his Exhibit 10 deal converted into a two-way contract.

Clippers Sign Zach Freemantle To Exhibit 10 Contract

September 10th, 2025 at 2:58pm CST by Rory Maher

September 10: The Clippers officially signed Freemantle on Tuesday, per RealGM’s transactions log. According to Law Murray of The Athletic (Twitter link), it’s an Exhibit 10 deal, as expected.

August 29: The Clippers and former Xavier standout Zach Freemantle have agreed to a deal, sources tell Michael Scotto of HoopsHype (Twitter link).

Freemantle went undrafted in June after six college seasons with the Musketeers (he missed the 2023/24 campaign due to injuries). He averaged 16.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 steals in 31 games as a “super senior” in 2024/25, earning a second-team All-Big East nod for the second time in his career.

As Scotto notes, Freemantle was named to the Portsmouth Invitational All-Tournament team this spring. The 6’9″ forward/center suited up for the Magic during Las Vegas Summer League, averaging 6.0 PPG and 4.3 RPG in 11.0 MPG.

While Scotto doesn’t clarify what type of contract Freemantle signed, the Clippers don’t currently have the ability to sign him to a standard deal and all three of their two-way spots are occupied. He most likely signed an Exhibit 10 contract, which would put him in line to receive a bonus worth up to $85,300 if he’s released before the season begins and spends at least 60 days with the San Diego Clippers.

Once the signing is official, the Clippers will be at the offseason limit of 21 players under contract.

Raptors Sign, Waive Tyreke Key

September 10th, 2025 at 2:26pm CST by Luke Adams

The Raptors signed and subsequently waived free agent guard Tyreke Key, according to Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca (Twitter links), who confirms that Key received an Exhibit 10 deal.

After going undrafted out of Tennessee in 2023, Key spent his first professional season in Belgium as a member of the Leuven Bears, then played for the Raptors 905 in the G League in 2024/25.

Key made 42 total appearances in the Tip-Off Tournament and regular season for Toronto’s G League affiliate last season, averaging 6.8 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 21.5 minutes per game, with a shooting line of .472/.395/.703.

As was the case with Quincy Guerrier on Tuesday, the sign-and-waive move is designed to allow the Raptors to give Key an Exhibit 10 bonus worth up to $85,300 (on top of his NBAGL base salary) if he rejoins the 905 and spends at least 60 days with the club.

Raptors Sign, Waive Quincy Guerrier

September 9th, 2025 at 9:42pm CST by Dana Gauruder

The Raptors signed Quincy Guerrier to an Exhibit 10 contract, then waived him, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet reports (Twitter links).

Guerrier went undrafted out of Illinois in 2024. He also played for Syracuse and Oregon during his college career.

He signed with Toronto last year and the club promptly waived him. The 6’7” forward then joined the team’s G League affiliate, the Raptors 905. He appeared in 40 games with them last season, averaging 10.8 points and 5.7 rebounds in 25.5 minutes per contest.

Guerrier, 26, is a Canadian native. He participated in the Canadian Elite Basketball League with the Montreal Alliance this summer.

He’ll be eligible for a bonus worth up to $85,300 if he rejoins the Raptors 905 and spends at least 60 days with them.

Pacers Add Jalen Slawson On Training Camp Deal

September 9th, 2025 at 8:16pm CST by Dana Gauruder

The Pacers have signed forward Jalen Slawson to an Exhibit 10 deal, the team announced in a press release. Indiana’s G League affiliate acquired Slawson’s returning rights from the Birmingham Squadron last month.

Slawson was a late second-round selection for the Kings in 2023. He appeared in 12 games off the bench for Sacramento as a rookie on a two-way deal.

After not being extended a qualifying offer last summer, Slawson became an unrestricted free agent and signed a camp deal with the Magic last September. He was waived prior to opening night and spent last season with the Osceola Magic in the G League. He appeared in 50 games at that level, averaging 12.0 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 30.1 minutes per contest. The 25-year-old was on the Sixers’ Summer League squad in July.

Under the terms of an Exhibit 10 contract, Slawson will earn a bonus worth up to $85,300 if he’s waived and then spends at least 60 days with the Noblesville Boom, Indiana’s G League affiliate.

The addition of Slawson increased Indiana’s training camp roster count to 19, two below the maximum.

Mouhamadou Gueye Joins Bulls On Camp Deal

September 9th, 2025 at 7:14pm CST by Dana Gauruder

The Bulls have added Mouhamadou Gueye on an Exhibit 10 contract, Spotrac contributor Keith Smith tweets.

Gueye has 11 games of NBA experience, all with the Raptors in 2023/24. Gueye, who went undrafted out of Pitt in 2022, joined the Raptors on a 10-day deal in February 2024 and a two-way contract that March. He averaged 2.4 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks in 10.9 minutes per contest during those NBA appearances.

Gueye was on the Wizards’ camp roster last season, then was waived before opening night. He averaged 10 points and 5.4 rebounds in 24.1 minutes per game over 34 contests for the Capital City Go-Go, Washington’s G League club.

Having signed an Exhibit 10 deal, Gueye will be eligible for a bonus worth up to $85,300 if he’s waived by Chicago and spends at least 60 days with the Windy City Bulls.

The addition of Gueye gives Chicago 21 players on its camp roster, the maximum allowed.

Suns Sign, Waive Jaden Shackelford

September 9th, 2025 at 5:04pm CST by Dana Gauruder

The Suns signed Jaden Shackelford to an Exhibit 10 contract, Spotrac contributor Keith Smith tweets. Phoenix then placed him on waivers, according to the NBA transactions log.

It’s a bit of déjà vu for Shackelford, who also joined Phoenix on a training camp deal last season. He was waived in late September and wound up on the Valley Suns, Phoenix’s G League affiliate. He averaged 18.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 50 games in 30.9 minutes per game.

The 6’3” guard was a member of the Warriors’ Summer League team this July.

After going undrafted out of Alabama, Shackelford spent two seasons in the G League as a member of the Thunder’s NBAGL affiliate, the Oklahoma City Blue.

Shackelford will be eligible for a bonus up to $85,300 if he spends at least 60 days with the Valley Suns again.
