Prosper (wrist) signed a two-way contract with the Grizzlies on Thursday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Mavericks were forced to let go of Prosper in order to sign Dante Exum. Charania notes that Prosper generated a lot of interest elsewhere before he ultimately agreed to join the Grizzlies. Because he's on a two-way deal, Prosper could spend a lot of time with the Memphis Hustle in the G League to open the season.

The Mavericks waived Prosper (wrist) on Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Prosper missed the final month of last season after undergoing surgery for a right wrist injury, and he'll now look to find a home elsewhere ahead of the 2025-26 season. It's unclear how far along he is in his rehab, which could impact his value before training camp. After the calendar flipped to 2025, Prosper averaged 5.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.7 steals in 14.1 minutes per game over his final 30 regular-season appearances.

Prosper has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2024-25 season after undergoing surgery to repair a right wrist injury.

EDGE Analysis

A previous report noted that Prosper would likely remain sidelined for the rest of the year as a result of the injury, and the team confirmed Monday that the Marquette product will indeed be shut down for the season following successful surgery. He averaged 3.9 points and 2.4 rebounds in 11.2 minutes per matchup over 52 appearances in his second NBA season.

The Mavericks have suffered another blow to their frontcourt with Prosper expected to undergo season-ending surgery on his right wrist, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Prosper becomes one of many players on the Mavericks dealing with a severe injury. Kyrie Irving (knee) has already been ruled out for the season, and the same might happen to Anthony Davis (thigh). If Prosper does end up having season-ending surgery, he'll have finished his second campaign in Dallas having averaged 3.9 points and 2.4 rebounds per game while shooting 40.2 percent from the floor.

Prosper won't play Friday against the Grizzlies due to a right wrist sprain, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear when Prosper picked up the injury, but it'll cost him at least one game. Look for Caleb Martin (hip) and Kessler Edwards to pick up a few extra minutes in Prosper's absence.

Prosper is not in Dallas' starting lineup against New Orleans on Friday, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Prosper started in Dallas' two games prior to the All-Star break and averaged 8.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals over 23.5 minutes per game over that span. Kessler Edwards will draw the start at center Friday while Prosper slides back to the bench.

Prosper is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

At 6-foot-8, Prosper is the tallest player in Dallas' starting five due to several injuries at the center position. It'll be the second-year forward's third start of the season, and he averaged 7.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals across 28.0 minutes in his other two starts.

Prosper notched 16 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 34 minutes during Monday's 129-128 overtime loss to Sacramento.

EDGE Analysis

Anthony Davis (adductor) and P.J. Washington (ankle) were both sidelined Monday, and Davis is likely to miss extended time. Plus, Daniel Gafford left with a knee injury, so the Mavericks could potentially be very shorthanded going forward. Prosper made a strong impression Monday and is someone to watch in deeper formats in case he strings a few good games together.

Prosper will come off the bench in Tuesday's game against Philadelphia, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler Edwards will supplant Prosper in the starting five Tuesday. The 22-year-old has received inconsistent playing time of late, and over his last 10 outings (two starts), he has averaged 7.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 17.3 minutes per game.

Prosper finished Sunday's 144-101 loss to the Cavaliers with 10 points (4-15 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals in 31 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Prosper got the starting nod for the second time of the year Sunday with P.J. Washington (knee) sidelined, notching a team-high-tying pair of steals while leading all starters in assists and finishing as one of six Mavericks in double figures in scoring. Prosper has reached double-digits in scoring in four outings this year, doing so in three out of his last six appearances.
