Trey Jemison’s 10-day contract with the Washington Wizards was up on Monday. But the former UAB center isn’t returning to the NBA G League. Jemison is staying in the NBA.

The Memphis Grizzlies announced on Tuesday that Jemison had signed a 10-day contract.

The Grizzlies also signed forward Matthew Hurt to a 10-day contract on Monday and forward Tosan Evbuomwan to a 10-day contract on Tuesday. Hurt scored 10 points in his NBA debut on Monday night in a 103-94 loss to the Sacramento Kings.
