The Memphis Grizzlies have made significant adjustments to their roster, focusing on managing their two-way contracts amidst challenges in their frontcourt rotation. Lamar Stevens, standing at 6-foot-6, temporarily fills in as the backup center, highlighting the team's current predicament with only Trey Jemison as the healthy center on a limited availability due to his two-way contract status. In a strategic move, the Grizzlies signed guard Jordan Goodwin to a two-way deal, concurrently waiving guard Jacob Gilyard, who was close to maxing out his NBA days. This roster change reflects the team's ongoing efforts to navigate the season's challenges, starting with Gilyard, GG Jackson, and Vince Williams Jr. as two-way players, now transitioning to Goodwin, Jemison, and Scotty Pippen Jr.
