The move
Darin Green Jr., a 25-year-old rookie, is on the Dallas Mavericks roster as of Tuesday, Oct. 13, per the team's official roster. He joins from free agency, having held no prior NBA roster spot. No report preceded the move; none is logged. The Mavericks now carry 23 players on the roster, against a standard limit of 15 plus three two-way slots.
The money

Dallas still has space before the $209.0 million first apron and the $221.7 million second apron, though Green's own cap hit remains unknown.
