The Memphis Grizzlies have signed guard Zyon Pullin to a two-way contract. In a related move, the Grizzlies waived center Colin Castleton.

Pullin (6-4, 206) has started all six of his regular season appearances for the NBA G League’s Sioux Falls Skyforce and has averaged 24.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 1.3 steals in 38.3 minutes while shooting 53.5 percent from the field and 42.4 percent from 3-point range. Pullin, who ranks fifth in the NBA G League in scoring and fourth in assists during the regular season, recorded a triple-double with 37 points (14-17 FG), 12 rebounds and 11 assists in a season-opening victory over the Valley Suns on December 30.

Unselected in the 2024 NBA Draft, Pullin signed a two-way contract with the Miami Heat on July 1 and was waived on July 24. The 23-year-old, who also joined the Heat for 2024 training camp, was named to the 2023-24 All-SEC First Team after competing in 33 games (27 starts) and averaging 15.5 points, 3.9 rebounds and 4.9 assists in 33.5 minutes as a graduate transfer at Florida last season.

Castleton (6-10, 250) appeared in 10 games as a reserve for the Grizzlies and averaged 1.4 points in 4.6 minutes after signing a two-way contract on October 30. The 24-year-old, who went unselected in the 2023 NBA Draft out of Florida, played 16 games for the Los Angeles Lakers as a rookie last season.
