ESPN - With depth at swingman depleted by injuries, the
Dallas Mavericks re-signed free agent
Adrian Griffin on Monday in time for him to be in the lineup at
Toronto.
Griffin played 69 games for the
Chicago Bulls last season, averaging 2.2 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.00 steal in 9.7 minutes a game. He started 157 games for
Dallas in the 2001-02 and '02-03 seasons.
Swingman was supposed to be a strength for
Dallas, but that was before
Jerry Stackhouse was injured,
Doug Christie was waived because of injuries and
Josh Howard was injured Saturday night.
Keith Van Horn also has been slowed by a hand problem.
Stackhouse has yet to play this season. Howard is expected to miss at least two games because of a sprained ankle.
Griffin fills the vacancy created when Christie was waived.
