Moore also played in five NBA Summer League games for the Mavs and averaged 7.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists per contest while shooting 60.0% from the field. 

If Moore does not make the roster, it's possible that he will begin the 2023-24 season with the Texas Legends. 

Happy to have Taze Moore back…

He lit up Summer League but didn’t get the camp invite

he’s back for the final preseason game and then Dallas will have to decide on two of Taze Moore, Greg Brown III or Dexter Dennis for the last 2 two-way spots pic.twitter.com/j73J2RPmRZ

As for the Mavs, they are coming off a year where they were the 11th seed in the Western Conference with a 38-44 record. 

After making the Conference Finals in 2022, they missed the NBA playoffs (and play-in tournament). 

That said, the Mavs have one of the most talented duos in the league, with Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic. 

They will play their first game of the regular season on October 25 when they visit the San Antonio Spurs.
