The Grizzlies have signed guard DeJon Jarreau and waived center Lawson Lovering, according to a team press release. Terms weren’t made available but Jarreau likely received a camp deal, as Memphis already has 15 players on guaranteed contracts.
Jarreau appeared in 10 games as a reserve in two NBA seasons with the Grizzlies and Pacers, averaging 4.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 15.1 minutes. The 27-year-old, who went unselected in the 2021 NBA Draft out of Houston, played with Memphis on a pair of 10-day contracts.
The New Orleans native also has competed in 67 showcase and regular season 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 and has averaged 13.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 23.9 minutes.
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 NBA 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 up to $85,300 if spends at least 60 days with the club. Jarreau will likely wind up getting waived and joining the Hustle as well.
