Kobi Simmons officially signed with the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday, but it looks like he will be spending most of his rookie season in the NBA G League.
Ronald Tillery of the Commercial Appeal reports Simmons signed a two-way contract with the Grizzlies.
A two-way contract, a new tool for NBA teams under the new Collective Bargaining Agreement, will allow Simmons to occupy the 16th or 17th spot on Memphis’ roster, but the catch is he can only spend a maximum of 45 days in the Association.
The rest of the time he will be with the Memphis Hustle, the organization’s G League affiliate.
