The Mavs signed the rim protector to a three-year, $17 million contract this past summer.

Jake Fischer further says that Dallas initially planned to start McGee for the 2022-23 campaign, but the journeyman shot blocker has since fallen out of head coach Jason Kidd's rotation.

The 35-year-old McGee averages 3.9 points and 2.3 rebounds over 31 games (7.9 minutes) this season.

He has career marks of 7.8 points, 5.2 boards, and 1.4 blocks throughout 852 games (343 starts) in 15 seasons with eight teams.

JaVale McGee is a three-time NBA champion (2017, 2018, 2020) and Olympic gold medalist with Team USA in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
