"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Dallas Mavericks voided Rashard Lewis' contract on Wednesday after a physical revealed he needs knee surgery, Yahoo Sports' Marc J. Spears reports.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lewis, 34, signed with the Mavericks on a one-year minimum contract last week, but the knee injury caused Dallas to pull out of the deal.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lewis scored 4.5 points per game last season for the Miami Heat.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is the second consecutive offseason the Mavericks have discovered an injury during a physical after agreeing to terms with a player. Last season, Devin Harris needed toe surgery and agreed to a reduced contract before re-signing this summer.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Mavericks signed Chandler Parsons to a three-year, $46 million contract to pry him away from the Houston Rockets. They also reacquired Tyson Chandler in a trade with the New York Knicks.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;More:&amp;nbsp;Kevin Love trade rumors, buzz&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Paul Palladino&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
