Sticking around in Memphis The Grizzlies will sign Stevens to a contract for the remainder of the 2024-25 season once his 10-day contract expires, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Impact Stevens is on his second 10-day deal with the Grizzlies, and he's performed well enough to warrant a longer contract. The 27-year-old wing has appeared in six games for Memphis and is averaging 4.0 points and 3.0 rebounds across 9.8 minutes. While he likely won't garner a large enough role to be fantasy relevant, Stevens will provide some additional depth and defensive expertise to the Grizzlies' bench.

Very productive off bench Stevens ended with 13 points (4-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Monday's 120-118 victory over the Suns.

Impact This was Stevens' best performance with the Grizzlies, as he stepped up with the team missing several key rotation players who were held out with injuries and rest purposes. Stevens' second 10-day contract will be expiring after March 12, however, and it will be interesting to see if the franchise attempts to sign him to a standard deal.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

Gets another 10-day deal Memphis signed Stevens to a second 10-day contract Monday.

Impact Stevens had one appearance to his name during his first stint with Memphis, playing 16 minutes in a 130-128 loss to the Spurs and finishing with six points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds. He'll likely just be an emergency depth option going forward.

MARCH 3 • ROTOWIRE

Headed for free agency Stevens became a free agent Monday after his 10-day contract with the Grizzlies expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact Memphis will have the option of re-signing Stevens to a second 10-day deal, but it's unclear if the Grizzlies intend to go that route or bring aboard another player to fill his spot on the 15-man roster. After signing with Memphis on Feb. 21, Stevens made his lone appearance for the Grizzlies in the team's most recent game Saturday, logging 16 minutes in a 130-128 loss to the Spurs and finishing with six points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds.

Gets 10-day deal Stevens agreed to a 10-day contract with the Grizzlies on Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact The Grizzlies released Johnny Davis to make space on the 15-man roster for Stevens, who had been playing for the G League's Motor City Cruise this season. The 27-year-old journeyman averaged 17.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.5 three-pointers, 1.4 blocks and 1.2 steals in 34.1 minutes per game over his 29 appearances with the Cruise. Stevens previously appeared in the NBA with Boston and Memphis last season, seeing action in 38 games while averaging 7.2 points and 3.3 rebounds in 14.7 minutes per contest.

Heading to Detroit Stevens agreed to a training camp contract with the Pistons on Thursday, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Stevens spent the 2023-24 season with the Celtics and Grizzlies, averaging 7.2 points and 3.3 rebounds in 14.7 minutes per game over 38 regular-season appearances between the two clubs. He missed the final two games of the regular season due to a groin injury, but it seems unlikely that the issue will hinder him to begin camp as he competes for a roster spot with the Pistons.

Ruled out for Friday Stevens is out for Friday's game against the Lakers due to left groin soreness.

Impact The Grizzlies have pretty much an entire roster sidelined due to injuries, and Stevens is the latest addition to this long list. Groin injuries can be complicated, so it remains to be seen if Stevens will be available for the season finale against the Nuggets on Sunday in a game where Memphis has nothing to play for.

Impact Stevens returned to the starting lineup Wednesday after missing the last two games with a groin injury. He tied a career high with four blocks and tied Trey Jemison in that category in the loss.

Gets green light Stevens (groin) is available for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Listed as questionable Stevens (groin) is questionable for Wednesday against the Cavaliers.

Impact Stevens has missed the past two games for Memphis, but the questionable tag suggests that he's considered day-to-day. If Stevens is able to play, he could see a healthy workload after the Grizzlies dressed just eight players Tuesday against the Spurs.

APRIL 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play against Spurs Stevens (groin) will not play against the Spurs on Tuesday.

Impact No surprise here, as Stevens was considered doubtful prior to this update. Along with several others, it wouldn't be a shock if Stevens didn't make another appearance this season.

Impact Stevens is joined by Lake LaRavia (ankle) as doubtful for Tuesday's contest. Stevens has averaged 10.3 points and 6.7 rebounds in 25.0 minutes across his last three appearances, so a sizable role be remain vacated if he is forced to miss his second consecutive contest due to left groin soreness.

Impact Stevens returned to action after missing the past six games due to an adductor injury. He logged 23 minutes off the bench, matching his season-high with 19 points. Before the injury, Stevens had played 12 consecutive games, something that cannot be said for the majority of the Grizzlies roster. Despite the uncertainty, he might be worth a look as a potential late-season flier, should he remain active moving forward.
