The Memphis Grizzlies have exercised their third-year contract option on Jarell Martin.

Martin is now signed through the 2017-18 season.

Martin (6-10, 239) competed in 27 regular season games (zero starts) during his rookie season and averaged 5.7 points and 3.2 rebounds in 14.1 minutes for Memphis after being selected by the team in the first round (25th overall) of the 2015 NBA Draft. He did not appear in the Grizzlies’ opening-night victory on Oct. 26 against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The 22-year-old also competed in 10 games (six starts) last season for the Grizzlies’ NBA Development League affiliate, the Iowa Energy, and averaged 15.0 points and 6.0 rebounds in 28.9 minutes.

The Sacramento Kings have waived Jordan Farmar, Isaiah Cousins and Lamar Patterson.

Sacramento's roster now stands at 15.

Farmar ended last season for Dave Joerger and the Memphis Grizzlies last season and he figured to have a decent shot of making the regular season roster since Darren Collison will begin the season on suspension.

Marc Gasol left in the third quarter of Saturday night's double-overtime preseason game against Houston with a sore right ankle.  

Gasol underwent surgery last February to repair a non-displaced Type II fracture of the navicular bone in his right foot.

"I didn't have to leave the game. I got subbed out," said Gasol. "Then just used (the time on the bench) to get some ice and remove my ankle tape. That was all."

Gasol went to the locker room after exiting the game and returned in the fourth quarter. 

"He's OK, he just got sore," David Fizdale said. "They will treat him (Sunday) and re-evaluate it, but I don't think it's anything to be worried about. At some point, we knew he was going to get sore, so we're expecting it to be fine."

Mario Chalmers is about a month away from returning from his Achilles rehab.

Chalmers underwent surgery on his Achilles in March.

Chalmers has received interest from a number of teams who are monitoring his progress.

With a dearth of viable backup point guards in the NBA, Chalmers will likely find a roster a spot quickly after he's cleared to play.

The Memphis Grizzlies have agreed to a deal with Vince Hunter.

Hunter was a member of the Grizzlies’ 2016 NBA Summer League team in Las Vegas, where he appeared in five games (one start) and averaged 11.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.80 steals in 21.8 minutes while shooting 57.1 percent from the field.

Hunter began his professional career last season, joining the Sacramento Kings for training camp and splitting the season with the NBA Development League’s Reno Bighorns and Panathinaikos in Greece. In Reno, he started all 32 of his games with the Bighorns and averaged 21.8 points, 11.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.00 steals and 1.53 blocks in 31.9 minutes while shooting 58.9 percent from the field. He represented the West in the 2016 NBA D-League All-Star Game and recorded 12 points and seven rebounds in 14 minutes off the bench.

Hunter went undrafted in the 2015 NBA Draft following two seasons at the University of Texas-El Paso, where he was named 2014-15 First Team All-Conference USA as a sophomore and the 2013-14 C-USA Freshman of the Year.

The Memphis Grizzlies have requested waivers on Tony Wroten.

Wroten appeared in one preseason game with Memphis, recording two points, one assist and one steal in six minutes on Oct. 6 vs. Atlanta.

Drafted by Memphis in the first round (25th overall) of the 2012 NBA Draft following his freshman season at the University of Washington, the 23-year-old has appeared in 145 regular season games (34 starts) over his four-year NBA career and averaged 11.1 points, 2.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 21.2 minutes for the Grizzlies and Philadelphia 76ers.

The Memphis Grizzlies will move Zach Randolph to a bench role this season under David Fizdale.

Fizdale said Randolph took the news very well.

Randolph came off the bench in 15 games last season.

"Let's not beat around the bush. He can be 6th man of the year," said Fizdale.

JaMychal Green will likely start for the Grizzlies at power forward.
