Grizzlies' DeJon Jarreau: Adds 12 points off bench
Rotowire
Jarreau ended with 12 points (4-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 33 minutes during Monday's 131-105 loss to Phoenix.
Jarreau wasn't afraid to let it fly on the offensive end, and while he wasn't exactly efficient from the field, he managed to end the night in double figures for a second straight game. He reached a season high in minutes Monday, given Memphis' extensive injury report, and he could continue to see opportunities to show what he can do down the stretch of the regular season, as the Grizzlies don't have much to play for.

Grizzlies' DeJon Jarreau: Upgraded to available Monday
Rotowire
Jarreau (elbow) is available for Monday's game against Phoenix.
Jarreau exited Saturday's 125-124 win over the Bulls because of an elbow injury and was in danger of missing Monday's game, but he will ultimately suit up. With a lengthy injury report for the Grizzlies on Monday, Jarreau should see plenty of minutes regardless of his role.

Grizzlies' DeJon Jarreau: Season-high 15 points
Rotowire
Jarreau racked up 15 points (5-15 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist and three steals in 15 minutes during Wednesday's 123-98 loss to the Spurs.
With Memphis beginning to shut down several of their key contributors, Jarreau appears to be one of the beneficiaries while riding a 10-day deal. The 15 points Wednesday were a season high, though Jarreau has played at least 25 minutes just one time in his first seven games in 2025-26.

Grizzlies' DeJon Jarreau: Signs another 10-day deal
Rotowire
Jarreau signed a second 10-day contract with the Grizzlies on Monday.
The Grizzlies also signed Tyler Burton to a second 10-day deal. Jarreau appeared in all five of the Grizzlies' games after signing with the team March 13, averaging 6.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 0.6 steals in 21.2 minutes per contest.

DeJon Jarreau: Heads to open market
Rotowire
Jarreau became a free agent Monday after his 10-day hardship contract with the Grizzlies expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Jarreau appeared in all five of the Grizzlies' games after signing with the team March 13, averaging 6.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 0.6 steals in 21.2 minutes per contest while shooting 41.9 percent from the field. With both Jarreau and Tyler Burton having had their 10-day hardship contracts expire within the last two days, the Grizzlies are now down to a standard 15-man roster plus three two-way players. However, with Memphis listing eight players as out and two more as questionable or doubtful for Monday's game in Atlanta, the NBA could extend the Grizzlies another hardship exception or two that could be used to re-sign Jarreau and/or Burton to another 10-day deal. Expect any signing by the team to be announced prior to Monday's game, but if Jarreau isn't added back to the Grizzlies roster, he'll likely remain in the organization as a member of its G League affiliate, the Memphis Hustle.

Rotowire
Jarreau (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against Charlotte.
Jarreau had 13 points in Friday's loss to Boston. He popped up on the injury report because of right ankle soreness. However, the 28-year-old is good to go.

Grizzlies' DeJon Jarreau: Nursing ankle injury
Rotowire
Jarreau is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Hornets due to right ankle soreness.
Jarreau may have tweaked his ankle during the Grizzlies' 117-112 loss to the Celtics on Friday, when he played 27 minutes and finished with 13 points (6-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block. Jarreau has played 23-plus minutes in three of four outings with the Grizzlies, and that playing time would be absorbed by Walter Clayton, Cam Spencer and Javon Small if Jarreau is unable to play Saturday.

Grizzlies' DeJon Jarreau: Receives 10-day deal
Rotowire
Jarreau agreed to a 10-day contract with the Grizzlies on Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
With Scotty Pippen (toe) set to undergo season-ending surgery, an already depleted Memphis backcourt was in need of further reinforcement, so the Grizzlies opted to bring Jarreau aboard. A fifth-year guard out of Houston, Jarreau has been a key player in the G League for the Memphis Hustle this season, starting in 11 of his 31 appearances while averaging 14.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.7 three-pointers and 0.7 blocks in 23.3 minutes per contest.

DeJon Jarreau: Hits free agency
Rotowire
Jarreau became a free agent Saturday after his second 10-day contract with the Grizzlies expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
The Grizzlies could retain Jarreau by signing him to a rest-of-season deal and waiving another player, but the team doesn't seem to be looking to go that route, as Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported Friday that Memphis will bring Zavier Simpson aboard on a 10-day deal to fill the vacant spot on the 15-man roster. Assuming Jarreau isn't re-signed prior to the Grizzlies' game Saturday versus the Magic, he'll likely link back up with the organization's G League affiliate, the Memphis Hustle, with whom he had been playing before signing a pair of 10-day deals. During his time at the NBA level, Jarreau appeared in nine games for the Grizzlies and averaged 4.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 16.7 minutes.

Grizzlies' DeJon Jarreau: Joins Memphis on hardship contract
Rotowire
Jarreau agreed to a 10-day hardship contract with the Grizzlies on Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
If Jarreau sees action with the injury-depleted Grizzlies during the course of his 10-day deal, it would mark his first NBA action since he appeared in one game for the Pacers during the 2021-22 season. The 26-year-old guard has spent the entire 2023-24 campaign in the G League with the Memphis Hustle and Capital City Go-Go, averaging 14.6 points, 6.3 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.1 steals in 25.0 minutes per game over 36 appearances between the two affiliates.

DeJon Jarreau: Scores 14 off bench
Rotowire
Jarreau delivered 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 15 minutes off the bench in Friday's win over the Charge.
Jarreau is averaging 10.7 points per game on the season and most of that can be attributed to the fact that he's experiencing an uptick in his scoring figures of late. The former Houston standout has scored in double digits in four of his last five appearances.

DeJon Jarreau: Impressive off bench Friday
Rotowire
Jarreau recorded 20 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven assists, six rebounds and a steal across 27 minutes off the bench in Friday's win over Grand Rapids.
Jarreau had what could easily be qualified as his best performance of the season in this one. However, he's not likely to deliver these kinds of numbers -- particularly from a scoring perspective -- on a regular basis going forward, especially if he keeps coming off the bench.

DeJon Jarreau: Fills stat sheet in loss
Rotowire
Jarreau recorded seven points (3-5 FG, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists, two blocks and a steal across 18 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's loss to College Park.
Jarreau didn't offer a lot in the scoring column, but he compensated with a strong all-around performance -- especially considering the minimal time he was on the court. He should remain a capable second-unit piece for the Go-Go even if he's not going to deliver eye-popping stat lines on a regular basis.
