The Memphis Grizzlies signed free-agent guards Tyreke Evans and Ben McLemore on Friday.
Evans reportedly agreed on a one-year, $3.3 million deal. McLemore reportedly landed a two-year deal worth $10.7 million.
Evans played one season of college basketball at the University of Memphis before embarking on his NBA career. He has career averages of 16.1 points, 5.1 assists and 4.8 rebounds over eight pro seasons.
Evans finished last season with the Sacramento Kings after being dealt from the New Orleans Pelicans in the DeMarcus Cousins trade. He has been plagued by knee issues in recent seasons.
McLemore also arrives from the Kings after four seasons in the NBA. He has career marks of 9.4 points and 2.6 rebounds.
"We want to welcome Ben McLemore to the Grizzlies organization," general manager Chris Wallace said in a statement. "Ben brings tremendous athleticism, significant upside and a tireless work ethic to our franchise, while adding more outside shooting to our rotation. We are confident he will continue his development as a player and thrive under head coach David Fizdale and his staff."
