The Dallas Mavericks have signed forward Chris Silva to a second 10-day contract, the team announced Tuesday.
Silva, 26, joined Dallas on his first 10-day contract on Jan. 31 after beginning the year with the G League’s College Park Skyhawks, where he averaged 14.2 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 11 games. He appeared in one game for the Mavs during his first 10-day contract, scoring two points in three minutes in awin over the Utah Jazz on Monday.
Silva went undrafted in 2019 and began his career with the Miami Heat on a two-way contract in 2019-20. Silva appeared in 69 NBA games with Miami, Sacramento and Minnesota from 2019-20 to 2021-22.
While at South Carolina, Silva shared the floor with current Mavericks two-way player AJ Lawson in the 2018-19 season, when Silva was a senior and Lawson was a freshman for the Gamecocks. The duo also shared the floor with College Park in the G League earlier this season.
Silva is only the second player from Gabon to play in the NBA, joining Stephane Lasme who suited up in 16 career NBA games for Miami and Golden State.
