Gortman agreed to a two-way deal with the Mavericks on Friday, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.
Gortman had joined Dallas on an Exhibit 10 deal earlier in the summer, but he'll head up securing one of the Mavericks three two-way spots after the team waived A.J. Lawson on Friday. The 21-year-old impressed in the preseason, during which he averaged 10.3 points while shooting 51.6 percent from the field. The guard is expected to spend the majority of his time with the Mavericks' G League affiliate, the Texas Legends.

Bucks' Jazian Gortman: Gets camp deal from Milwaukee
Rotowire
Gortman agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with the Bucks on Tuesday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
After Gortman went undrafted in June, multiple reports suggested that the Bucks would bring the Overtime Elite alum aboard via a two-way contract, but the 20-year-old point guard ultimately remained unsigned over the ensuing weeks. He still joined up with the Bucks for the Las Vegas Summer League, appearing in five games while averaging 4.8 points, 1.0 assists and 0.8 rebounds in 9.1 minutes per contest. Gortman will now stick around with the Bucks through training camp, but unless he's converted to a two-way deal shortly before the regular season, he'll likely open the 2023-24 campaign with Milwaukee's G League affiliate, the Wisconsin Herd.
