Marquis Teague Signed for Rest of Season, Then Waived by Memphis Grizzlies

Earlier this week, the Memphis Grizzlies signed former Kentucky guard Marquis Teague for the remainder of the NBA season.

Today, they waived him.

Here are details from CBS Sports:

While Teague technically signed for the remainder of the season just a few days ago, his contract was mostly non-guaranteed, so waiving him doesn’t carry much of a financial penalty for the Grizzlies. Memphis will replace Teague on the roster with Omari Johnson, a 28-year-old forward who played well over the final two months of the G League season.

ROSTER UPDATE: We've signed Omari Johnson to multi-year contract & have waived Marquis Teague.
