Carlik Jones, a former Aiken High School standout guard who played in college for Chris Mack and the Louisville Cardinals after transferring from Radford, was named to the Dallas Mavericks' Summer League roster.
Jones wasn't selected during last week's 2021 NBA Draft, but he signed a free-agent deal with the Mavs a short time later.
Jones was among 40 players to attend the 2021 NBA G League Elite Camp in June.
When Jones announced in April that he was entering his name in the 2021 NBA Draft, he left open the possibility that he might return for another season with the Cardinals. He announced two weeks later that he would forego any remaining eligibility and remain in the draft.
Last season - Jones' first at Louisville - he led the Cardinals with 16.8 points, 4.5 assists and 1.4 steals per game. He also averaged 4.9 rebounds per game as a first-team all-ACC selection.
Jones transferred to Louisville after he was named the Big South Player of the Year as a redshirt junior guard for the Radford Highlanders.
At Aiken, Jones was twice named CMAC Player of the Year.
