The Mavericks have signed Von Wafer to a 10-day contract.
"I'm just happy to be back in the NBA,'' Wafer said. "If it's for 10 days, fine. If it's for 20 days, fine. I'm just going to try to do what I can to help and try to get better.''
Wafer said his back, which acted up on him last season, is fine.
"It's not a big issue,'' he said. "I had a little trouble with it in the playoffs last season, but I didn't miss any games.''
