The Memphis Grizzlies signed point guard Zavier Simpson and forward Jack White on Tuesday for the remaining four games of the regular season.
It’s the second 10-day contract for Simpson, who played in three games under the first contract and averaged 5.3 points, 3.7 assists, 2.3 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 24.0 minutes.
Simpson, 27, previously had four games of NBA experience with the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2021-22 and averaged 11.0 points, 7.5 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 43.5 minutes.
White, 26, also was signed through the Grizzlies’ hardship exceptions due to multiple and key injuries to players on the roster. The Australian appeared in 17 games for the Denver Nuggets in 2022-23 and averaged 1.2 points and 1.0 rebounds.
He had signed a multi-year contract with the Thunder in July 2023 but was waived in October.
