In a related move, the Grizzlies waived Lawson Lovering. This is likely an Exhibit 10 deal for Jarreau with the Grizzlies looking to secure his G League rights.

Jarreau became a free agent Saturday after his second 10-day contract with the Grizzlies expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Grizzlies could retain Jarreau by signing him to a rest-of-season deal and waiving another player, but the team doesn't seem to be looking to go that route, as Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported Friday that Memphis will bring Zavier Simpson aboard on a 10-day deal to fill the vacant spot on the 15-man roster. Assuming Jarreau isn't re-signed prior to the Grizzlies' game Saturday versus the Magic, he'll likely link back up with the organization's G League affiliate, the Memphis Hustle, with whom he had been playing before signing a pair of 10-day deals. During his time at the NBA level, Jarreau appeared in nine games for the Grizzlies and averaged 4.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 16.7 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Jarreau will return to the NBA after a brief stint in the G League. Due to the Grizzlies' extensive injury list, Jarreau could find himself in the rotation Saturday versus the Magic.

Jarreau agreed to a second 10-day hardship contract with the Grizzlies on Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Grizzlies continue to be hit hard by injuries, so even though the team already has a full 15-man roster, Jarreau will be able to stick around on another 10-day deal after the NBA granted Memphis a hardship exemption. Over the course of his first 10-day pact, Jarreau appeared in five games and averaged 5.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 17.6 minutes while shooting 33.3 percent from the field.

Jarreau finished Sunday's 124-93 loss to the Thunder with seven points (3-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 10 rebounds, five assists and three steals in 28 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

This was quite the debut for Jarreau, who signed a 10-day hardship contract with the Grizzlies on Saturday. Considering how many injuries the Grizzlies currently have, fantasy managers may want to throw Jarreau on their watch lists in case he can build on this momentum.

Jarreau signed a 10-day hardship contract with the Grizzlies on Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

This will mark Jarreau's first stint in the NBA since he played one game for the Pacers during the 2021-22 season. The 26-year-old has averaged 17.6 points, 7.9 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.5 blocks and 0.8 triples across 29.7 minutes in 24 games for the Memphis Hustle in the G League this season. He will now look to make an impression with the Grizzlies.

Jarreau didn't play Saturday against the Blue Coats due to a knee injury.

EDGE Analysis

The absence of Jarreau shouldn't affect the Go-Go too much, as he holds a minimal role off the bench.

Jarreau delivered 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 15 minutes off the bench in Friday's win over the Charge.

EDGE Analysis

Jarreau is averaging 10.7 points per game on the season and most of that can be attributed to the fact that he's experiencing an uptick in his scoring figures of late. The former Houston standout has scored in double digits in four of his last five appearances.

Jarreau recorded 20 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven assists, six rebounds and a steal across 27 minutes off the bench in Friday's win over the Grand Rapids.

EDGE Analysis

Jarreau had what could easily be qualified as his best performance of the season in this one. However, he's not likely to deliver this kind of numbers -- particularly from a scoring perspective -- on a regular basis going forward, especially if he keeps coming off the bench.
