The Memphis Grizzlies have signed former Denver Nuggets center PJ Hall to a two-way contract, a strategic move following the release of guard Zyon Pullin. Hall, a promising 6-foot-8 player, showcased his potential last season in the G League, averaging 18.9 points and 11.8 rebounds while starting in all his 20 games. His performance during the NBA Las Vegas Summer League with the Charlotte Hornets further solidified his value, where he averaged 9.2 points and 5.6 rebounds in just under 14 minutes per game. The Grizzlies are keen to develop Hall further, leveraging his strong G League stats and collegiate success at Clemson, where he received first-team All-ACC honors.

The Dallas Mavericks are grappling with injuries as they approach the latter part of the season. During their game against the Phoenix Suns, both Kessler Edwards and Dwight Powell had to exit after colliding on a rebound attempt. Powell was seen with a head injury, requiring attention from medical staff, while Edwards made a quick return with a bandage over his eye. The situation worsened for the Mavericks as Brandon Williams also left the game with a hamstring issue, further depleting their already limited roster.

With only nine active players suited up, key contributors like Dereck Lively II, Anthony Davis, and Daniel Gafford are sidelined with injuries. The Mavericks' depth will be tested as they navigate this challenging phase, searching for viable strategies to maintain competitiveness despite the setbacks.
