Dallas currently has 16 players on its roster on standard contracts, one above the in-season maximum, but I'm told veteran center Dwight Powell and his representatives have maintained a dialogue with the club in hopes that he still factors into their plans somehow. The 35-year-old, who became a Maverick in December 2014 as part of the Rajon Rondo trade, has been hoping to play at least one more season.

Marc Stein on Dwight Powell: They have not come out and said that door is all the way closed, but I've tried repeatedly to generate an answer, not just from the Mavs, through other means, and no one seems to really want to go there and discuss it, which obviously is ominous to some level, but you know, they'll have to make a decision there.
Josh Lewenberg: RJ Barrett, Zach Edey, Dwight Powell and Kelly Olynyk are here watching Canada-Puerto Rico. For various reasons (injury/contractual, mostly), they're not playing this summer but maintain spots in the country's player pool. Expected to be in the mix for the World Cup next summer.

Todd Whitehead: With Santi Aldama heading to Dallas, it's increasingly unlikely Dwight Powell will return to the Mavs for a 13th season. Powell's departure (and the Giannis trade) will leave just 2 players from the 2014-15 season who have stayed on the same team since then.
Josh Lewenberg: To sum up NBAers in for Canada this summer: SGA, NAW, Barrett, Brooks, Dort, Nembhard bros, Mathurin, Olynyk, George, Miller Out this summer but in for this cycle: Edey, Powell Didn’t commit: Murray, Sharpe, Wiggins Committed but not selected: Lawson, Banton, Houstan, Prosper

Mike Curtis: The #Mavs have added Marvin Bagley III to the injury report for tonight's road finale against the #Spurs. He's questionable with left shoulder impingement. Dwight Powell is also questionable with left hip soreness.

Mike Curtis: Cooper Flagg and Dwight Powell have been upgraded to available for today's game against the #Raptors. Flagg will be on a minutes restriction, likely of 20-25 as he was on Thursday in Orlando.
Mike Curtis: Jason Kidd on the plan for Anthony Davis: “Hopefully it’s not long. He’s going better, but we’ll see here in the next couple days of how long he’ll be out.” Kidd also said Daniel Gafford will start in the interim and they’ll need Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse to step up.

The Mavericks have upgraded Klay Thompson (left knee soreness), Max Christie (illness) and Dwight Powell (illness) to probable for Christmas Day's game against Golden State. Brandon Williams (right ankle sprain) is also probable, and PJ Washington (right midfoot soreness) is questionable.

Mike Curtis: #Mavs center Dwight Powell (illness) has been downgraded to doubtful, while two-ways Moussa Cisse and Miles Kelly have been upgraded to probable. Everyone else’s status remains the same.

Kevin Gray Jr.: I’ve reached out to multiple sources with knowledge regarding the report that Mavericks C Dwight Powell intends to retire at the end of the year. At this time those sources say they can not confirm the report that Powell intends to retire with one source saying it was “news to them.” #MFFL
