JAY HUFF NEWS

Pours in 17 points Huff supplied 17 points (6-14 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 24 minutes during Sunday's 140-112 win over Washington.

Impact Huff had the hot hand off the bench as he produced his 14th game of the season with double-digit points. His lack of peripheral stats makes him a tough sell outside of deeper formats, however, as he's averaging 9.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.6 blocks and 1.8 three-pointers through five December outings.

Fails to impress again Huff totaled eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one rebound and one steal in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 121-116 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Huff continues to play as the primary backup behind fill-in starter Brandon Clarke. While it has been a great opportunity for Huff, his production of late has been trending in the wrong direction. Over the past three games, he has averaged just 5.0 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.7 combined steals and blocks in 13.3 minutes per game. With Zach Edey a chance to return from an ankle injury in the near future, Huff's opportunity could be about to come to an unceremonious end.

Limited minutes in loss Huff supplied six points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one rebound across 13 minutes during Tuesday's 122-110 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Huff managed just 13 minutes despite the fact the Grizzlies were without Zach Edey due to an ankle injury. While Brandon Clarke continues to start at center, there had been some hope that Huff would step into a larger role. Up against a Nuggets team without their own starting center, this may have been an unfortunate matchup for Huff. He remains an elite per-minute producer and while this was not a great start, his role is worth monitoring moving forward.

Moves back to bench Huff is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Warriors, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Impact Huff will return to the bench for this game with Brandon Clarke (toe) returning to the first unit. Huff is averaging 10.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game when coming off the bench in 11 appearances this season.

Making first career start Huff is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Impact A 27-year-old journeyman and longtime G League standout, Huff will make his first career NBA start Wednesday. He's shined in a reserve role for the Grizzlies this season, averaging 10.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.9 blocks across 15.6 minutes per game. While he'll be part of the first unit, Huff is expected to play 20-25 minutes as Memphis will look to mix Zach Edey in at the five-spot.

Efficient in victory Huff recorded 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one block in 14 minutes during Wednesday's 131-114 win over the Lakers.

Impact Huff has now scored double-digit points in five of his nine appearances this season while coming off the bench. The 27-year-old big man is averaging 10.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 assists in 15.3 minutes. While Huff will likely come back down to Earth with his outside shooting, he is converting converting 52.9 percent of his 3.8 three-point attempts per contest.

Shines off bench Huff recorded 20 points (7-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 14 minutes during Saturday's 124-107 victory over the 76ers.

Impact Huff dominated in the post in Saturday's win, making 70.0 percent of his tries from the field while also contributing at the rim with a swat. Playing time has been somewhat limited for the big man so far this season behind Zach Edey, so while his most recent appearance was impressive, it's unfair to expect this type of production from Huff moving forward.

Getting standard NBA contract The Grizzlies are converting Huff's two-way contract into a four-year standard NBA deal Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Huff has been excellent off Memphis' bench to begin the campaign, averaging 13.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in 19.0 minutes across three appearances. The Virginia product went undrafted in 2021 and has spent most of his career bouncing around the G League, making only 30 NBA regular-season appearances over the previous three seasons. He won the 2023 G League Defensive Player of the Year award and is looking to maintain a sizable role in a backcourt led by Jaren Jackson and Zach Edey.

Scores 18 points Saturday Huff closed with 18 points (7-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and one block in 19 minutes during Saturday's 124-111 victory over the Magic.

Impact Huff has been impressive through three regular-season games, and he has averaged 13.0 points and 3.3 rebounds while shooting 63.6 percent from the field across 19.0 minutes per game. The 27-year-old is on a two-way pact and buried in a deep Memphis frontcourt, though his play thus far bodes well for his playing time outside of the G League.

Generates 15 points from bench Huff produced 15 points (5-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and a steal across 23 minutes in Thursday's 119-94 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Huff is trying to stay out of the G League and despite a crowded depth chart above him, Thursday's diverse line goes a long way toward his goal. He's now with his fourth team in his fourth season, and the Virginia product demonstrates special skills as a shooter and defender when given the opportunity, but only time will tell if he can impress enough to log some games with the big club.

Rare appearance Monday Huff racked up zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one block in three minutes during Monday's 128-103 win over Memphis.

Impact Huff closed the game Monday, logging three minutes in garbage time. Having played just three games over the past month, Huff is about as far from a fantasy target as you will find. Managers are well within their rights to ignore this performance.
