The Dallas Mavericks have signed guard/forward Seth Lundy, the team announced Saturday, adding the former Atlanta Hawk just as training camp gets underway. Lundy, 26, joins a Mavericks roster looking to build momentum after closing the 2025-26 season with a 149-128 win over the Chicago Bulls on April 13, 2026, but also carrying a 1-4 record in their final five games.
He last appeared in an NBA game for the Hawks in 2024. A second-round pick in 2023 out of Penn State, Lundy played nine games as a rookie, averaging 1.6 points in 5.8 minutes per contest. His most recent notable action came with the Toronto Raptors' Summer League team in 2026, where he posted intriguing numbers. Over four games, he put up 20 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.8 steals per game, including a 23-point outing against the Houston Rockets.
Seth Lundy is a 6-foot-4 wing known for his shooting potential and defensive effort. His standout Summer League performance in 2026 demonstrated a scoring punch that Dallas will hope translates to the preseason and beyond. He projects as a potential three-and-D option on the perimeter, a role the Mavericks have consistently valued. Lundy will wear jersey number 31 for Dallas.
This move brings the Mavericks' training camp roster to the maximum 20 players. Camp officially tips off this Saturday, giving Lundy an immediate opportunity to compete for a spot. The team's recent form, which includes losses to the Phoenix Suns (112-107 on April 9, 2026) and the Milwaukee Bucks (123-99 on April 1, 2026), shows the need for competitive depth across the board.
Signing Lundy at the start of camp is a low-risk, high-reward play for Dallas's front office. It provides another body for practice and preseason games without a long-term commitment. The Mavericks' wing rotation can always use more shooting and defensive versatility, and Lundy's Summer League tape suggests he can provide both in spurts.
His signing follows a tough closing stretch for Dallas last season, where they also fell to the Golden State Warriors 137-131 on March 24, 2026, and the New Orleans Pelicans 129-111 on March 17, 2026. Adding hungry players on camp deals is a classic way to foster internal competition.
The immediate focus is training camp and the upcoming preseason schedule. Lundy will need to impress coaches quickly to earn a roster spot or a two-way contract. His performance in scrimmages and exhibition games will be his primary audition.
For the Mavericks, integrating new pieces while building on the positive from their high-scoring win over Chicago is the goal. The 149-point outburst on April 13 showed their offensive ceiling, but the preceding losses highlighted consistency issues. Lundy's journey is one of several subplots as the team prepares for a new campaign. All eyes will be on how the roster battles unfold in the coming weeks.
