独行侠与前佛大冠军后卫小克莱顿签双向合同
位于德克萨斯州达拉斯县的达拉斯（Dallas），多家媒体10月22日证实，达拉斯独行侠队已与后卫沃尔特·克莱顿二世（Walter Clayton Jr.）达成双向合同。克莱顿本周刚被孟菲斯灰熊队在确定揭幕战名单时裁掉，两天后即在达拉斯找到新东家，消息最初由ESPN记者查拉尼亚披露。克莱顿是2025年选秀首轮第18顺位，新秀年效力犹他爵士，出战69场（6场首发），场均20.4分钟得7.8分、4.0次助攻、2.0个篮板；今年2月在涉及贾伦·杰克逊二世的交易中转投灰熊后，24场比赛场均提升至9.7分、5.7次助攻。他最广为人知的是2025年率佛罗里达大学夺得全国冠军并当选四强赛最杰出球员，毕业季场均18.3分。独行侠主帅达斯蒂·梅（Dusty May）此前曾于2015至2018年在佛罗里达大学任助教，与克莱顿并无共事交集。双向合同意味着克莱顿可在独行侠与下属发展联盟球队之间往返，
Mavericks Sign Guard Walter Clayton Jr. to Two-Way Contract
DALLAS, Texas — Multiple outlets confirmed on October 22 that the Dallas Mavericks, in Dallas, Dallas County, Texas, have signed guard Walter Clayton Jr. to a two-way contract. Clayton had been waived by the Memphis Grizzlies this week as they set their opening-night roster and landed in Dallas two days later; ESPN's Shams Charania first reported the signing. Clayton, the No. 18 pick of the 2025 draft, played 69 games as a rookie with the Utah Jazz (6 starts), averaging 7.8 points, 4.0 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 20.4 minutes; after moving to Memphis in February in the trade involving Jaren Jackson Jr., he averaged 9.7 points and 5.7 assists over 24 games. He is best known for leading Florida to the 2025 national championship and being named Final Four Most Outstanding Player, averaging 18.3 points as a senior. Mavericks head coach Dusty May was an assistant at Florida from 2015 to 2018, with no overlap with Clayton. A two-way contract lets Clayton move between the Mavericks and their G League affiliate.
