MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Memphis Grizzlies announced Monday they signed guard Jaylen Nowell to a second 10-day contract.
Nowell has appeared in five games, including one start, since initially signing a 10-day contract with the Grizzlies on Nov. 24 and has averaged 6.2 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 18.8 minutes per game. The 24-year-old scored a season-high 19 points off the bench in a road win over the Dallas Mavericks on Dec. 1.
Nowell will likely see continued playing time, with the Grizzlies announcing guard Luke Kennard will remain out for 2-3 weeks with a knee injury.
A native of Seattle who played collegiately at Washington, Nowell has appeared in 189 regular season games (four starts) in five NBA seasons with the Grizzlies and Minnesota Timberwolves since he was selected 43rd overall in the 2019 NBA Draft. He has played 29 career NBA G League games for the Iowa Wolves (2019-20) and Stockton Kings (2023-24).
