J.J. Barea: Brings end to playing career
J.J. Barea announced Wednesday in an interview with Puerto Rican newspaper El Nuevo Dia that he has retired from professional basketball.Since being waived by Dallas in training camp ahead of the 2020-21 season, Barea had seen action over the past two years with foreign clubs in Spain and in his native Puerto Rico. The 38-year-old never appeared likely to make a bid for an NBA comeback, but he'll now choose to end his playing career entirely as he looks to make the jump into the coaching ranks. Barea ended his time in the NBA with averages of 8.9 points, 3.9 assists and 2.1 rebounds in 19.6 minutes per game across 831 regular-season appearances with the Mavericks and Timberwolves over 14 seasons.

Mavericks' J.J. Barea: Scores 14 to go with full line
J.J. Barea pitched in 14 points (5-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and six assists in 23 minutes during Sunday's 118-111 scrimmage loss to the Pacers.Barea contributed a solid stat line off the bench and figures to continue to benefit from the absence of Jalen Brunson (shoulder), who is out for the rest of the campaign. Though Delon Wright may challenge Barea for minutes at backup point guard, Wright is capable of filling in at multiple positions, so Barea might hold pretty decent value for the remainder of the restart.
