Jenkins reportedly had agreed to a three-year deal Monday.
Jenkins was drafted by the Atlanta Hawks with the 23rd pick in
the 2012 draft. As a rookie, he shot 45 percent from the field
and 38 percent on 3-point attempts.
His second season was derailed by injuries. He played in only 24
games and had back surgery in February.
The 24-year-old is ticketed to be the backup for newly signed
Wesley Matthews. Matthews, who ruptured his left Achilles tendon
four months ago while a member of the Portland Trail Blazers,
joined the Mavericks after signing a $70 million deal earlier
this month.
Famous, 27, spent last season with the Iowa Energy and the Texas
Legends in the NBA Development League.
He averaged 10.2 points and 6.8 rebounds in five games in the
Las Vegas Summer League with the Washington Wizards.
