Dallas Mavericks sign point guard Deron Williams

The Dallas Mavericks have announced the signing of point guard Deron Williams.

Williams was recently released by the Brooklyn Nets, but has now found a home back with his native Dallas on a two-year deal that is thought to be worth around $10m (£6m).

The deal comes at a vital time for the Mavs, who were given a shock when DeAndre Jordan decided to back out of a move and re-sign with the Los Angeles Clippers.

Williams averaged 13 points per game for Brooklyn last season.
