The Dallas Mavericks have added yet another big man to their roster for training camp.

The Mavericks have signed 7-foot-2 center Salah Mejri, who spent last year playing in Spain.

Here's more from Bobby Karalla at Mavs.com:

After spending two seasons with Real Madrid, perhaps the best team in the world outside of the NBA, center Salah Mejri has agreed to a contract with the Mavericks.

The 7′ 1″, 245 pound 29-year-old is the first Tunisian player in the NBA and was the first Arabic player in general to play in the Spanish ACB League, widely considered the second-best basketball league on the planet.
