Sources: Mavericks to work out D-Leaguer Dwayne Jones

"The Dallas Mavericks are bringing in a D-League rebounding machine to audition for the sudden vacancy created by Erick Dampier's finger injury.

Sources close to the situation told ESPN.com that the Mavericks will work out Dwayne Jones of the Austin Toros later Tuesday and sign him to a 10-day contract if they like what they see...

...Scouts regard Jones as a non-scorer -- virtually all of his D-League scoring comes through his work on the offensive glass -- but he has legit NBA size and an unquestioned ability to rebound."

In three previous NBA stints with Boston, Cleveland and Charlotte, Jones has appeared in 80 games but only averaged 1.4 points and 2.3 rebounds in 7.9 minutes.
