Nembhard produced six points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 assists, five rebounds and a steal in 26 minutes off the bench during Monday's 114-101 preseason win over the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

The undrafted rookie out of Gonzaga is unlikely to win a spot on the Mavericks' roster to begin the season, but Nembhard came through with a strong performance Monday when given the chance. Nembhard may need a rash of injuries in the Dallas backcourt to see meaningful minutes this season, but that isn't a far-fetched scenario with Kyrie Irving (knee) likely out until after Christmas and both Dante Exum (knee) and Brandon Williams (hamstring) nursing lower-body issues of their own.

Nembhard (rest) has been cleared for training camp, Joey Mistretta of FanSided reported Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The Mavericks shut Nembhard down early after a strong showing in the Summer League for rest, but there were no injuries reported at the time. Nembhard is on a two-way contract and will likely feature heavily in the G League to open the 2025-26 season.

Nembhard generated 11 points (4-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight assists and three rebounds across 25 minutes in Monday's 87-69 Summer League loss to the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard led Dallas in scoring and posted a game-high mark in assists during the low-scoring affair. The 22-year-old guard bounced back from a two-point performance in Saturday's loss to the Spurs, when he shot 1-for-10 from the field. He has now tallied at least five assists in all three of Dallas' Summer League games.

Nembhard closed with 21 points (8-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Thursday's 87-85 Summer League victory over the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard powered the Mavs to a win with his impressive play on the offensive end. He led Dallas with 21 points but also found his teammates for buckets by dishing out a team-high five assists. While Cooper Flagg received plenty of attention for his strong play in this one, it was impressive to see Nembhard hold his own in a matchup that went down to the wire.
