Rashard Lewis was a free agent before signing a 1-year deal with the Mavs last week. However, Lewis failed his physical because of a bad knee. In fact, he will require surgery to repair that joint.
Not wanting to use the money on an aging player who has been a role player for quite some time, the Mavs have voided Lewis’ contract.
The Dallas Mavericks voided Rashard Lewis’ contract on Wednesday after a physical revealed he needs knee surgery, Yahoo Sports’ Marc J. Spears reports.
Lewis, 34, signed with the Mavericks on a one-year minimum contract last week, but the knee injury caused Dallas to pull out of the deal.
Lewis scored 4.5 points per game last season for the Miami Heat.
