The Memphis Grizzlies have reached an agreement to sign forward Olivier-Maxence Prosper to a new two-year contract, according to ESPN. The move rewards the forward for his contributions to the team's rotation throughout the current season and transitions him from a two-way spot to a standard roster position.
The news of the signing was confirmed by Todd Ramasar and Mike Simonetta of Life Sports Agency, who represent Prosper. Before this new agreement, Prosper had been operating under a two-way contract with the organization. This promotion to a standard NBA roster spot secures his place with the Grizzlies under the terms of the new multi-year deal.
Throughout the current season, Olivier-Maxence Prosper has appeared in 36 games for Memphis. During that span, he has averaged 7.6 points per game while playing an average of 15.8 minutes per contest. His consistent presence in the lineup and statistical output have been a notable part of the Grizzlies' frontcourt rotation as he officially moves beyond his previous two-way status with this contract extension.
