MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — The Memphis Grizzlies have signed forward Julian Wallace to a two-way contract and have waived forward/center Jarnell Stokes.

Washburn, 27, has played 23 games with the NBA G League’s Austin Spurs and has averaged 10.6 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 31.6 minutes. He has shot 44.4 percent from the field and 37.1 percent from 3-point range with Austin.

Stokes signed a two-way contract with the Grizzlies on Jan. 1 and had since played two games with the Memphis Hustle, the Grizzlies’ NBA G League affiliate.
