Grizzlies' Kobe Bufkin: Inks deal with Memphis

Memphis plans to sign Bufkin (personal) to a 10-day hardship exception Sunday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Bufkin had been playing with the South Bay Lakers of the G League to open the season, though he missed Friday's game due to personal reasons. The guard now joins a Memphis backcourt hit hard by injuries, with Ja Morant (calf), Ty Jerome (calf), Scotty Pippen (toe) and Javon Small (toe) all sidelined.
