Grizzlies two-way center Jay Huff earns four-year NBA deal

The Memphis Grizzlies are signing two-way center Jay Huff to a new four-year, standard NBA contract, his agent, Michael Siegel, told ESPN on Monday.

The 7-foot-1 Huff has been a revelation for the Grizzlies this season, averaging 13 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.7 blocks and 19 minutes over three games while shooting 57.1% from 3-point range.

Huff is in his fourth NBA season after previous stops with the Los Angeles Lakers, Washington Wizards and Denver Nuggets.

Over the past year, the Grizzlies have found two key rotation players from the Lakers’ recent development team in Huff and Scotty Pippen Jr., who signed a standard deal with Memphis earlier this month.

Huff has been in the Grizzlies’ rotation behind rookie center Zach Edey, receiving additional opportunity in the opening two games with the absence of Jaren Jackson Jr., who returned on Saturday.
