On September 26, 2008, Ross signed a contract with the Memphis Grizzlies.[3] His first[6] cousin[3] Darrell Arthur was his teammate on the Grizzlies. On July 8, 2009, Ross signed a contract with the Dallas Mavericks.[7]

On February 13, 2010, Ross was traded to the Washington Wizards along with Josh Howard, Drew Gooden and James Singleton for Caron Butler, Brendan Haywood, and DeShawn Stevenson.[8]

On June 29, 2010, Ross was traded to the New Jersey Nets for Yi Jianlian and cash.[9] He was waived by the Nets on March 31, 2011.[10]
