DALLAS — The Dallas Mavericks hopefully filled their need for a true backup center Tuesday by signing free agent Jamaal Magloire, a former All-Star waived by New Jersey last week.

The Mavs are in desperate need for a big man to fill the lane
Magloire (6-11, 265) will practice Wednesday and be available for Thursday night’s visit to San Antonio. The 29-year-old helps fill the void left when DeSagana Diop was shipped to the Nets as part of the Jason Kidd trade.
Magloire has played sparingly this season – his first in New Jersey – but he’s been productive for most of his eight-year career. He averaged 9.2 points and 9.5 rebounds with Milwaukee in 2005-06, his last season as a full-time starter. Those numbers dipped to 6.5 points and 6.1 boards last season in Portland when he mostly came off the bench.
His glory years were with New Orleans from 2002-05. The Toronto native averaged a double-double during 2003-04 (13.6 points and 10.3 rebounds), earning All-Star honors that season. He’s averaged 8.7 points and 7.3 boards in 530 career games, including 301 starts.
