According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, former Oregon Ducks guard Tyler Dorsey was dismissed by the Dallas Mavericks on Monday, creating place for new two-way signee AJ Lawson out of NBA G League College Park. Dorsey made three NBA appearances this season, his first since joining the Memphis Grizzlies in 2018-19. He spent the previous three years abroad, first in Israel with Maccabi Tel Aviv in 19-20 and 20-21, and then in Greece with Olympiacos in 21-22. Dorsey scored nine points on four attempts in his debut game of the season on October 22, but he didn't play again until December 14, finishing 0-1 in two and a half minutes. He returned to the floor for another 90 seconds on Christmas, failing to score, before being released the next day. If he goes through waivers and is free to sign with a new team, orsey should have no trouble getting a job in Europe with a big club. However, he may also try to earn his way back into the NBA via the G-League. Dorsey attended Oregon for two years, averaging 14.1 points in 75 games while shooting a blazing 41.6% from beyond the arc.

Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table.

Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
