The Grizzlies have signed guard DeJon Jarreau and waived center Lawson Lovering, according to a team press release (Twitter link). Terms weren’t made available but Jarreau likely received a non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 deal, as Memphis already has 15 players on guaranteed contracts.
Jarreau appeared in 10 games as a reserve in two NBA seasons (2021/22 and ’23/24) with the Pacers and Grizzlies, averaging 4.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 15.1 minutes. The 27-year-old, who went undrafted in 2021 out of Houston, played with Indiana on a two-way deal and with Memphis on a pair of 10-day contracts.
The New Orleans native also has competed in 67 total games (27 starts) in two seasons with the NBA G League’s Fort Wayne Mad Ants, Texas Legends, Capital City Go-Go and Memphis Hustle, averaging 13.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 23.9 minutes per contest at the NBAGL level.
Lovering was signed by Memphis on an Exhibit 10 deal in early September. He played four preseason games for the Grizzlies and averaged 2.0 points and 2.5 rebounds in 9.5 minutes. The 22-year-old Wyoming native went unselected in the 2025 draft after his final collegiate season at Utah.
Lovering will probably head to the Memphis Hustle, the team’s G League affiliate, where he’ll be eligible for a bonus worth $50,000 if spends at least 60 days with the club. Jarreau will likely wind up getting waived and joining the Hustle as well.
