The Dallas Mavericks have signed first-round pick Shane
Larkin, who is likely out until training camp in October with a broken right
ankle.
Larkin is slotted to make $1.28 million in the point
guard's first season under the rookie salary scale.
The Mavericks traded down twice in the draft and ended up
with the rights to Larkin, the son of Hall of Fame shortstop Barry Larkin. He
was taken 18th by Atlanta.
Larkin helped Miami to its first Atlantic Coast
Conference title and a No. 2 seed in the NCAA tournament. Larkin led the
Hurricanes at 14.5 points and 4.6 assists per game.
The 5-foot-11 Larkin broke his ankle while practicing for
the summer league. He had surgery this month and should be sidelined about
three months
