Cut by the Mavs, Tyler Dorsey’s NBA adventure did not last long. The Greek guard should not, however, run out of offers to bounce back. It is rumored that several European clubs including Monaco are looking into his case at this very moment.
The NBA is a cruel world… 489 players have already stepped on the floors of the Great League this season, but not all are promised the same future, and some are destined to be fired after only a few minutes of American dream. This is the case of Tyler Dorsey, who was just cut by the Mavs after only three games and exactly 8 minutes and 15 seconds spent on the pitch in the first team.
The Mavericks are waiving guard Tyler Dorsey and signing F/G AJ Lawson on a two-way NBA contract out of NBA G League College Park, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

However, it was not the first experience in the NBA for the American-Greek rear. Indeed, Dorsey had been selected by the Hawks with the 41st pick in the 2017 Draft, and had even played a season and a half in Atlanta before being sent to the Grizzlies in a trade. Despite producing almost 10 points on average in his 21 games in Tennessee, and his 11 starts in Memphis, the young Tyler had not been kept. Forced to go to Europe to nab some playing time, the guard was not unworthy. Double championIsrael with the Maccabi Tel-Aviv, he then had chose to test themselves in the Greek championshipthe country whose colors he defends in selection.
With l’Olympiakos, Dorsey won the Greek Cup, also playing in the EuroLeague. This summer it was the perfect lieutenant of the Greek Freak, helping Giannis navigate his way to the quarter-finals, where Greece ultimately lost to Germany.
After signing at Dallas this summer, “Mr March” has spent most of his time with the Legends, the Mavs-affiliated G League team. There, he signed some very big cards, including a match at 47 pawns against Birmingham Squadron early December, but without succeeding in arousing the interest of Jason Kidd and his staff.
47 PTS ???? 16/27 FG ???? 8 3PT
Tyler Dorsey is the definition of a BUCKET! He exploded for a career-high 47 points tonight vs. the Squadron. This is the most points in a single-game by any player this season. @TDORSEY_1 pic.twitter.com/t1I1m2NwBF

End of the Mavericks adventure so for Tyler Dorsey, who could well come back to point the tip of his nose in Europe. If many rumors lean towards a back to Olympiacosour colleagues fromEuroHoops mentions a more than tempting offer submitted to the rear by… the Rock Team of Monaco. The leaders of the Betclic Elite – and co-leader in the EuroLeague – could find in Dorsey a reinforcement of choice on the outside lines, alongside Mike James and our national Elie Okobo. Among the teams interested, we can also mention the Maccabi Tel Avivwho would like to recover his former gunner, and the Turks of Fenerbahce.
So, what future for Tyler Dorsey?
