The Mavericks waived Tariq Abdul-Wahad on Friday.
"He wasn't a key factor at any point," assistant coach Del Harris said. "That knee is a tough injury. We never felt he got to a position where he could play. He expressed a will to play." Abdul-Wahad has played just 67 games over the past five years. Sat, Oct 29, 2005 11:11:00 AM

Tariq Abdul-Wahad apparently upset Mark Cuban, meaning he will probably be waived as late as possible.

Cuban was irked by Abdul-Wahad’s unwillingness to work with him on a buyout situation, so Cuban will wait until the last minute before waiving him, hurting his chances to catch on with another team. He hasn't played since 2002-03.

Tariq Abdul-Wahad - G/F - Mavericks

Tariq Abdul-Wahad and Evan Eschmeyer have been excused from Tuesday's start of Mavericks training camp for medical reasons.

Abdul-Wahad's situation is less clear. It's quite possible that neither will play in a game for Dallas this season.
