Grizzlies' Jaylen Nowell: Gets another 10-day contract

Nowell agreed Sunday with the Grizzlies on a second 10-day hardship contract, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Nowell has appeared in five games with the Grizzlies after the league granted Memphis two hardship exceptions to combat the team's injury woes. The 24-year-old has seen his playing time progressively increase over his five contests with Memphis and is averaging 6.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists in 18.6 minutes per game. Nowell's new 10-day deal will keep him under contract for Memphis' next three games, and he could continue to occupy a spot in the rotation until the Grizzlies regain some health or get Ja Morant back from his 25-game suspension to open the season.
