Grizzlies cycle through camp bodies to land Kira Lewis Jr.

Memphis waived Eric Dixon to make room for Kira Lewis Jr., capping a busy Saturday of roster churn for the team's 21st spot. Brendan Hausen, signed Friday after D'Angelo Russell's release, was cut to add Yuri Collins, who was then waived himself to sign Dixon before he too was let go.

All four are believed to be on Exhibit 10 deals, which pay a bonus for time spent with the G League's Memphis Hustle. Lewis, 25, last played in the NBA across three teams from 2021-25 before spending last season in the G League.

Separately, the Bulls signed LSU forward Marquel Sutton to a training camp deal, according to RealGM. Sutton went undrafted after averaging 13.1 points and 7.3 rebounds for LSU last season.
