Marc Gasol has been named the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year.

LeBron James finished second, with Serge Ibaka finishing third.

Joakim Noah and Tony Allen finished fourth and fifth respectively.

Tyson Chandler and Dwight Howard are the two most recent winners of the award. Howard was tied for 14th this season.

Springfield Armor forward Willie Reed will sign with the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday for the rest of the season, agent Joel Bell told RealGM on Sunday afternoon.

Reed averaged 14.8 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.8 blocks for Springfield this season, posting 12 double-doubles in 48 games. At 6-foot-10, Reed will bolster what’s already a big, physical Grizzlies frontcourt.

Future terms of Reed’s contract with the Grizzlies are still being worked out, Bell said. Reed is expected to be available by Wednesday night’s home game against the Utah Jazz and will be eligible for the playoffs.

Reed, 22, played two seasons at St. Louis before going undrafted in the 2011 NBA draft.

Tony Allen, who is headed for free agency this summer, is focused on playing for the Memphis Grizzlies.

"I'm bleeding blue right now, so I haven't thought past the Grizzlies," Allen said. "I ain't thinking about free agency. I'm thinking about a championship."

Sports Illustrated recently ranked Allen as the No. 16 free agent for 2013.

"Being in the right situation, being able to fit, being a piece moving forward in a team's championship goals just being a priority," Allen said. "And obviously, putting my family in a good situation. But for the most part, I don't even think about it. I just go out there and play, play hard and let God take care of the rest."
