NBA Rumors: Several Texan publications have coincided in the last few hours about the possibility of the Dallas Mavericks rehiring Dorian Finney-Smith.

The need for a player with his characteristics has worsened with the physical issues that the Luka Doncic team is facing. They were already without Maxi Kleber and Dante Exum due to different physical problems, and this week Dereck Lively and P.J. Washington were added to the absence list. The center suffered a shoulder sprain during the warm-up before Monday's match against the Indiana Pacers, while Washington twisted his knee and will not be available for tonight's game against the Chicago Bulls.

Therefore, a player who could fill this gap is former Maverick Dorian Finney-Smith, currently with the Brooklyn Nets. According to Bleacher Report, Finney-Smith would be a "dream and realistic target" for the Mavericks, who could seize the opportunity to negotiate his return to Dallas. Despite the Nets' possible high price, the possibility of Finney-Smith returning to the team should not be ruled out. With experience alongside Luka Doncic and familiar with Jason Kidd's system, his comeback could provide defense and three-point shooting, benefiting the team's second unit.

Strong Season

Finney-Smith is having a solid season with the Nets, averaging 10.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.5 steals per game, with a 34.8% accuracy from the three-point line. Although his three-point percentage has decreased since leaving Dallas, he remains a threat from beyond the arc, something that the Mavericks' bench has urgently needed this season. The Dallas bench players have only made 17 triples throughout the campaign, a low average for a team that ranked third in three-pointers made in the league last season.
