Toby Okani News, Rumors, Updates - Memphis Grizzlies | FOX Sports

Lands Exhibit 10 contract Okani agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with the Knicks on Tuesday.

Impact Okani is set to join the Knicks for training camp and compete for a spot on the team's regular-season roster. It's worth noting the team now owns his G League rights, so it's possible the 24-year-old forward will be waived before camp begins. Okani appeared in six regular-season games (four starts) for the Grizzlies while signed to a 10-day contract last season, during which he averaged 10.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.2 combined steals-plus-blocks and 1.0 assists across 36.2 minutes per contest.

Logd 20 points in blowout Okani logged 20 points (9-22 FG, 2-8 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in 42 minutes during Friday's 147-101 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Okani was part of a slim six-player rotation during the rout. He had his work cut out for him against Utah, which held a significant height advantage over the depleted frontcourt. The undrafted rookie out of West Virginia has spent most of his first NBA season with the G League, and his future with the parent club depends heavily on the organization's offseason plans. Part of the plan will include paying a high first-round pick, and if they draft someone with a skill set similar to Okani's, he could be back in the G League once again.
