The Dallas Mavericks are in advanced talks to sign Kemba Walker and could complete the signing of the former All-Star guard as early as this week pending physical examinations, NBA insider Marc Stein reports.

Dallas has targeted Walker, 32, in hopes he can help address its needs for both increased perimeter shooting and additional ballhandling off the bench, via the report.

The Mavs are on a four-game losing streak after Sunday's loss against the Milwaukee Bucks. Moreover, the team is 0-5 this season when Luka Doncic scores less than 30 points.

Walker last played for the New York Knicks in 2021-22. He was traded to the Detroit Pistons on draft night this June in exchange for future draft picks. With the move, Detroit accepted to take Walker's expiring contract (one year, $9.2 million remaining), but the player didn't play a single minute. On October 17, he was waived by the Pistons.

In his lone season with the Knicks, Walker appeared in just 37 games, all starts, but was left inactive for the final 23 contests. He averaged 11.6 points, 3.5 assists, and 3.0 rebounds.

Walker has career averages of 19.5 points, 5.3 assists, and 3.8 rebounds in 741 games (696 starts) with Charlotte (2011-19), Boston (2019-21), and New York (2021-22).
