Dwight Powell holds career averages of 7.7 points, 4.6 rebounds and 18.7 minutes per game in 371 games (89 starts) with Boston and Dallas. The athletic big man has shot 56.3 percent (1,062-of-1,885) from the field for his career.

Powell (6-10, 240) was selected by Charlotte in the second round (45^th overall pick) of the 2014 NBA Draft. Before making his NBA debut, he was traded to Cleveland (July 12, 2014) and then to Boston (Sept. 25, 2014). Powell was acquired by the Mavericks in the Rajon Rondo deal that sent Brandan Wright, Jae Crowder, Jameer Nelson, a future first-round pick and future second-round selection to the Celtics on Dec. 18, 2014.

Off the court, Powell continues to work tirelessly in the community and was a recipient of the 2019-20 End-of-Season NBA Cares Community Assist Award. Among his many contributions in 2019-20, Powell hosted his second annual ‘A Night of Hope’ to help patients and their children cope with cancer. The event raised $750,000, bringing the total raised in the past 14 months to over $1.5 million. Powell teamed with Luka Dončić, Mark Cuban and the Dallas Mavericks Foundation to donate $500,000 to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and Parkland Hospital in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In his commitment to social justice, he orchestrated the team’s plan to wear the word “Equality” on the back of their jerseys during the 2019-20 restart. Powell, who was also a finalist for the 2018-19 End-of-Season NBA Cares Community Assist Award, continues to support cancer patients and their families through the Dwight Powell Children and Family Support Fund.
