The Memphis Grizzlies have signed center Lawson Lovering and forward Tyler Burton, the club announced. Contract details were not disclosed, but both deals are expected to be Exhibit 10 agreements that route players to the G League if they do not make the regular-season roster.
Lovering, a 7-foot center who spent three seasons at Colorado and two at Utah, went undrafted in June. He appeared in seven Summer League games for Memphis, averaging 3.4 points and 3.1 rebounds in 12.9 minutes while hitting 62.5 percent of his shots.
Burton, a 6-foot-7 forward, played last season with the Grizzlies’ G League affiliate, the Memphis Hustle. In eight appearances he posted 2.5 points and 2.9 rebounds per game. Burton previously logged three seasons at Richmond and two at Villanova before going undrafted in 2024.
With the two additions, Memphis now has 20 players under contract, one shy of the offseason limit. All 15 standard roster spots are guaranteed, and the team’s three two-way slots are filled following the recent signing of Olivier-Maxence Prosper.
Exhibit 10 agreements can be converted to two-way deals before the regular season. Players waived from Exhibit 10 contracts can earn bonuses of up to $85,300 if they spend at least 60 days with the team’s G League affiliate. Lovering would join the Hustle as an affiliate player, while Burton would return under his existing G League rights.
