This comes after an initial announcement that the 905 dealt forward Paul White to the Salt Lake City Stars in exchange for a third-round pick in the upcoming G League draft.

Anderson was selected 21st overall by the Dallas Mavericks in 2015.

The forward appeared in four NBA seasons, with the Mavericks, Philadelphia 76ers and, more recently, the Atlanta Hawks. He played 48 games with the Hawks last season, averaging 3.7 points in 9.6 minutes per game.

The 26-year-old will wear No. 8 for the 905.
