The Memphis Grizzlies have re-signed Toney Douglas on a 10-day contract.

Troy Williams has been waived to create a roster spot for Douglas.

Douglas originally signed with Memphis as a free agent on Dec. 5 pursuant to the NBA’s hardship rule. 

Douglas appeared in six games as a reserve and averaged 5.8 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 17.8 minutes before he was waived on Dec. 15.

Williams appeared in 24 games (13 starts) for the Grizzlies during his rookie season and has averaged 5.3 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.00 steals in 17.4 minutes. 

The Memphis Grizzlies will own and operate an expansion NBA Development League franchise locally starting next season.

There is no name yet for the affiliate that will play a 24-game home schedule in the Landers Center in Southaven, Mississippi. The Grizzlies were previously affiliated with the Iowa Energy. That franchise is joining forces with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

“This allows us to best develop our future Grizzlies players,” Chris Wallace told the team’s site.

“It’s a complete game-changer,” John Hollinger, Grizzlies executive vice president of basketball operations, told Grizzlies.com. “Our affiliation with Iowa has been very effective for several years, both in terms of player development and basketball ops to both cities. To operate our own D-League team in your backyard — the direct access to the development process of our player talent — makes the process so much more efficient.”

Marc Gasol is day-to-day after injuring his ankle in Saturday's win over the Sacramento Kings.

Gasol rolled his ankle while going for a loose ball and quickly departed for the locker room. It was diagnosed as a sprained ankle, and X-rays were negative.

"It hurts, but it's not broken,'' Gasol said. "It's tender right now, so we will take it day-to-day, just like always."

Gasol missed a significant number of games last season after he broke his right foot in February.
