Grizzlies two-way center Huff earns 4-year 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.

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.
