The Dallas Mavericks have signed free agent Kelenna Azubuike, who hasn't played since tearing a knee tendon with the Golden State Warriors two seasons ago.
The announcement Friday came a day after the Mavericks waived center Sean Williams to create a roster spot. Azubuike was assigned to the Mavericks' NBA Development League team in suburban Dallas.
Azubuike spent four seasons with the Warriors and has career averages of 10.6 points and 4.0 rebounds.
The patella tendon injury happened nine games into the 2009-10 season. He was traded to New York in July 2010 but never played for the Knicks.
Azubuike skipped his senior season at Kentucky to go to the NBA but went undrafted in 2005. He played in the D-League for a year before joining the Warriors.
Williams, meanwhile, was ejected from an NBA D-League game he was watching as a spectator a few hours after Dallas released him on Thursday.
Williams, 25, was seated opposite the Dallas Legends' bench when he was tossed with 2:43 left in the fourth quarter of their game against the Reno Big Horns.
A Legends spokesperson told ESPNDallas.com it appeared that Williams was joking with some Big Horns players about the game's officiating. Referees, apparently, didn't take kindly to that.
