Mavs have a backup center plan

The idea is to bring in longtime backup center Jake Voskuhl in to training camp for the Mavericks, mostly as an insurance policy.

Voskuhl won't have a guaranteed contract, but the big man who came out of high school near Houston and has spent nine years in the NBA, including last season with Toronto, for whom he played 38 games.

The 6-11 Voskuhl is one of several players the Mavericks expect to bring into camp on non-guaranteed contracts.
