Grizzlies' Jaylen Nowell: To ink 10-day hardship with Memphis

Nowell is expected to sign a 10-day hardship contract with the Grizzlies on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

The NBA has granted the injury-riddled Grizzlies two 10-day hardship contract slots -- the team using them on Nowell and Shaquille Harrison. The 2019 second-round pick spent the first four years of his career with the Timberwolves but has been with the G League's Stockton Kings this year. Nowell has flashed offensive upside, but his three-point shot is unstable. Of the two signees, it seems more likely Harrison will see significant action.
