Mavericks waive F Renaldo Balkman. He didn't play more than 17 minutes in any preseason game with the Mavs and didn't have much of a shot to make the team. Balkman will likely continue his career overseas.

Former Knicks first-round pick Renaldo Balkman has agreed to attend Mavericks training camp. It's a non-guaranteed deal, meaning he isn't a lock to make the final roster, but he did average 25 points and 13.4 rebounds for a professional team in the Philippines last year, before being suspended for shoving an official and others after disagreeing with a call. Balkman was a shocking pick at No. 20 for the Knicks in 2006, when Isiah Thomas thought he was outsmarting the rest of the league. Balkman averaged 4.0 points and 3.5 rebounds in 221 NBA games.

Renaldo Balkman helped Puerto Rico beat Brazil on Friday, scoring a game-high 24 points with eight rebounds and four blocks in 37 minutes of action. Balkman last played in the NBA during the 2011-12 season with the Knicks. He joined the Philippine Basketball Association in 2012, promptly earning a lifetime ban for choking a teammate, and he's since settled into a featured role for Brujos de Guayama in his native Puerto Rico.

Renaldo Balkman was signed by NY on Thursday March 22.

The Nets may have interest in Renaldo Balkman, who was recently waived by the Knicks. New Jersey has started five different players at SF this season without any lasting success, and they've been weakened by injuries to DeShawn Stevenson and Damion James. Balkman might give them some relief, but even as a starter he's not a likely fantasy asset.

Knicks released F Renaldo Balkman. Balkman was released on Friday to make room for the newly acquired J.R. Smith and will look to continue his career by latching on as an energy player for another team.

Renaldo Balkman (knee) is not practicing on Wednesday. This should not impact your fantasy draft plans. There has been no previous information on the injury, so we assume it's something new for Balkman.
