Scores 17 points off bench Saturday Lawson ended Saturday's 144-119 win over the Spurs with 17 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals over 31 minutes.

Impact Lawson benefited from an expanded role in a blowout game, and he took advantage of the opportunity to deliver his best game of the season. There's a chance this might have been an outlier and nothing more, however, as Lawson is averaging just 11.3 minutes per game across 11 appearances off the bench this season.

Sidelined with knee injury Lawson hasn't appeared in any games for the G League's Texas Legends since Feb. 25 due to a right knee injury.

Impact One of Dallas' two two-way players, Lawson hasn't suited up at the NBA level since Feb. 15, but he appears to have sustained the knee injury while he was on assignment in the G League. Lawson has appeared in three games to date for the Legends, averaging 25.3 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.7 three-pointers, 2.0 steals and 0.7 blocks in 34.9 minutes per contest in those outings.

Puts up 10 points in 12 minutes Lawson finished Wednesday's 118-109 loss to the Nuggets with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal in 12 minutes.

Impact Even with Kyrie Irving (back) sitting out Wednesday, Dallas head coach Jason Kidd expanded his rotation to 11 men, allowing Lawson to make his first appearance since Feb. 6. Though Lawson acquitted himself well during his limited time on the court, the two-way player will likely find himself outside of the rotation and perhaps back in the G League when the Mavericks open their post-All-Star-break schedule.

Cut by Minnesota The Timberwolves plan to waive Lawson on Wednesday, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

Impact Lawson's two-way slot will go to wing Matt Ryan, who agreed to a deal with the Timberwolves on Tuesday after he was recently cut by the Lakers. Ryan is expected to give the Timberwolves another perimeter shooter off the bench, a skill hasn't consistently flashed since signing a two-way deal with Minnesota in mid-November. Though he saw just two minutes of garbage-time run with the NBA team, Lawson shot 28.1 percent from three-point range over 141 minutes of action with the G League's Iowa Wolves.

Transferred to parent club Minnesota transferred Lawson from the G League's Iowa Wolves on Wednesday.

Impact Lawson played for the Mavericks in the 2022 NBA Summer League and averaged 15.6 points on 51.9 percent shooting from the field. The 22-year-old guard also appeared in three games for the Timberwolves this preseason. Lawson being waived opened the two-way spot for Luka Garza.
