Mavs re-sign F George

Aug 25, 2008 - 8:04 PM DALLAS (Ticker) -- The Dallas Mavericks on Monday re-signed forward Devean George.

Terms were not disclosed.

George, who turns 31 years old Friday, averaged 3.7 points in 53 games for the Mavs last season while coming off the bench.

New Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said one of the club's priorities this season was to re-sign George, who won three titles with the Los Angeles Lakers earlier in his career.

"Getting Devean back in a Mavs uniform has been a goal of ours all summer," Carlisle said. "His experience and ability to run the floor and play and defend multiple positions will be a great asset for us this season."
