Nembhard Aims to Shine as Kyrie's Backup | Dallas Mavericks News
Description
Ryan Nembhard, the undrafted gem who stunned everyone last season, is poised to take on a bigger role as Kyrie Irving’s primary backup for the Dallas Mavericks. After a whirlwind summer with Team Canada alongside NBA stars like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and his brother Andrew, Nembhard returned to Las Vegas and immediately made his mark with a double-double in his Summer League debut. While aware of his defensive shortcomings and shooting need, he’s laser-focused on improvement. Coach Joe Boylan called him a “luxury” for his calm, game-ready presence. Now, he’ll compete for backup PG minutes against Marcus Sasser and Sergio De Larrea — but his relentless work ethic and early success suggest he’s ready to shine again.
