Lee was waived by the Mavericks on Saturday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran saw just six preseason minutes, and the Mavericks ultimately decided to go a different direction with the final roster. Lee has enough reputation and three-point shooting ability left to land on another NBA team.

Lee scored three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3PT, 0-1 FT) while playing six minutes of Thursday's 129-127 preseason loss to Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Lee returned to the court after missing Dallas' first two preseason games due to the NBA's COVID-19 protocols. The veteran guard will look to continue to ramp up his active ahead of next week's season opener.

Lee is not on the injury report ahead of Thursday's preseason game against the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
Lee missed the Mavs' first two exhibitions while passing through the league's COVID-19 protocols, but he's no longer listed on the injury report, so all signs are that he'll be available.

Lee (not injury related) will remain out for Monday's preseason game against the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Lee remains away from the team while going through COVID-19 protocols, so he'll miss a second straight exhibition to begin the season. His next chance to play will come Thursday against Minnesota.

Lee was signed by the Mavericks on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 13-year veteran will rejoin his old squad after spending last season with the team and missing action in the bubble due to a calf injury. Lee, 35, will likely be battling for backup wing minutes with the likes of Tim Hardaway, Josh Richardson and Dorian Finney-Smith. Lee will join Dallas after clearing medical protocols.

Lee is expected to sign with the Mavericks on Thursday, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 35-year-old spent the past season and a half in Dallas, and he'll be rejoining the team after hitting free agency. Lee appeared in 46 games and averaged 4.1 points and 1.3 rebounds in 13.3 minutes during his time with the team and should fill a similar role off the bench in 2020-21. He should officially join the Mavericks' roster once J.J. Barea is waived Thursday.

Lee (calf) is out for the remainder of the 2019-20 season, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Townsend notes that Lee is walking with a pronounced limp and has a brace on his lower leg, and that he won't come back at any point this season. Lee's role fluctuated throughout the year, but most of his minutes should go to the likes of Seth Curry, Justin Jackson and J.J. Barea.

Lee (calf) is unavailable for Friday's opener against the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Lee underwent surgery in late June to address a calf injury he suffered while working out during the hiatus. It's not clear if he'll be able to play at any point during the resumed season.

Lee sustained a calf injury while working out during the NBA's hiatus and underwent surgery, Mark Stein of The New York Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stein's report doesn't indicate when exactly Lee sustained the injury, but the Mavericks are apparently looking to add another healthy player to the roster Tuesday, when the NBA's one-week transaction window opens. With that in mind, Lee looks like he could be in danger of being sidelined when the season resumes in late July, though the team has yet to officially comment on the veteran wing's status. Over his 24 appearances with Dallas prior to the league-wide shutdown, Lee averaged 4.5 points, 1.3 rebounds, 0.9 triples and 0.8 steals in 14.4 minutes per game.
