The Memphis Grizzlies have traded center Jay Huff to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for two second-round picks. Huff, 27, made notable strides last season, averaging just under seven points and shooting 40% from beyond the arc in limited playtime. His addition to the Pacers comes as they seek to strengthen their frontcourt following the departure of Myles Turner to the Milwaukee Bucks.

Huff's skill set mirrors Turner’s, particularly with his three-point shooting ability and rim protection, having averaged 2.7 blocks per 36 minutes of gameplay. His defensive prowess earned him the G League's Defensive Player of the Year award, and he is under contract until the 2027-28 season.
