The Dallas Mavericks have bolstered their roster by re-signing veteran Markieff Morris to a one-year deal, aiming to enhance both depth and leadership within the team.

Morris, who averaged 2.5 points and 1.5 rebounds last season, plays a crucial role in fostering team chemistry and mentoring younger players. His relationship with Kyrie Irving and experience from the previous season make him an essential asset as the Mavericks strive for another playoff run.

Details of the contract remain unspecified, but it is expected to be for the veteran minimum due to the team's current roster situation.
