The Grizzlies announced the signing on their website and Michael Wallace of Grizzlies.com’s Grind City Media had the signing first, via Twitter.
Grizzlies are signing Atlantic-10 Defensive POY Yuta Watanabe to two-year, 2-Way contract. Watanabe is a 6-9 forward from George Washington who played with Nets in Vegas Summer League.
