Manning Waived by Mavericks
Danny Manning, a former No. 1 overall draft pick, was waived Monday by the Dallas Mavericks.
Manning, 36, signed as a free agent by the Mavericks in August, played in 41 games, averaging 4.0 points and 2.6 rebounds in 13.5 minutes last season.
He wasn’t on the playoff roster after missing 23 games at the end of the regular season because of a bad back.
Manning was the first overall pick in the 1988 NBA draft by the Clippers after he led Kansas to the NCAA title.
