In the NBA, the Grizzlies will be able to count fully on Killian Tillie.
The strong French winger, hitherto engaged in a so-called two-way contract, has signed a standard contract with the Memphis Grizzlies, the franchise announced on Saturday.
According to the specialized media ESPN, the contract, of 4 million dollars, runs over two years.
Aged 23, Tillie, until then under a "two-way" contract, that is to say shared between the Memphis Grizzlies and his G League franchise, the Memphis Hustle, took advantage of the absences linked to the Covid-19 to earn a place in the Grizzlies' rotation, missing only one game in the entire month of December.
The strong winger, who can also play pivot from a height of 2m06 (100 kg), has played 40 games for the Grizzlies in the past two seasons, averaging 3.3 points and 1.5 rebounds for 11.5 minutes played per game.
Sam Merrill's sprain
Not selected for the 2020 draft, Tillie had signed a two-way contract with the Grizzlies on November 24, 2020, before signing again on August 11, 2021. To free him up a place in the workforce, the franchise cut the full-back Sam Merrill, who suffers from a sprained left ankle and is estimated to be three or four months away, according to ESPN.
Candidate for the play-off, the Grizzlies point to fourth place in the Western Conference standings (23 wins, 14 losses), carried by a Ja Morant who runs at 24.7 points and 6.6 assists per game.
