DALLAS -- The Mavericks signed free-agent center Samuel Dalembert on Thursday for a second stint in Dallas and re-signed forward Charlie Villanueva.
Dalembert started 68 of his 80 games for Dallas during the 2013-14 season, averaging 6.6 points and 6.8 rebounds and playing 20.2 minutes per game. He was part of a multiple-player trade that sent him to the New York Knicks after that season.

In 64 games for Dallas last season, Villanueva averaged 6.3 points and 2.3 rebounds and made 38 percent of his 3-pointers (83 of 221).
