The No. 24 overall pick in 2023, Prosper was waived by Dallas last week and now finds a new home in Memphis, where he will likely spend most of his time with the Hustle. Prosper appeared in 92 games across two seasons with the Mavericks, mostly in a reserve role. There is still some upside here, but he likely won’t crack the rotation this season.

The 2023 first-round pick was the subject of trade rumors leading up to Friday’s roster move, so his departure isn’t a complete shocker. After failing to carve out a consistent role with the Mavs in his two years as a pro, O-Max will look to do so with his next team.

Prosper, the 24th overall pick in the 2023 draft, has failed to carve out a consistent role in two seasons with the Mavericks. Also at play is Dallas’ need to free up a standard contract slot to complete the re-signing of Dante Exum. The latter issue is more impactful regarding the Mavericks’ reported desire to find a new home for Prosper. Guard Jaden Hardy was also mentioned as a player who may be on the move, but the Mavericks have limited draft assets to sweeten a trade for either of those young players. Another possibility for Dallas would be to use the waive-and-stretch provision on a player, but they only have until Friday at 5 pm Eastern to go that route per league rules.

Prosper was already ruled out for Friday’s game against the Grizzlies with a wrist injury. The 22-year-old power forward is just another in what’s becoming a long line of Mavericks front court injuries. Dwight Powell, Kessler Edwards and Naji Marshall should all continue to play big minutes.
