The Grizzlies and Ivan Rabb have agreed to delay his contract guarantee date until mid-October, according to Michael Wallace of Grizzlies.com.
Memphis was initially due to decide on Rabb’s $1.6 million salary this week, but now they’ll get to evaluated him during training camp and the preseason. The former No. 35 pick seemed to plateau last season with similar production and playing time, but his offensive efficiency dipped (54.7% FGs, 71.0% FTs on limited attempts). Even if he makes the roster, his fantasy value is nonexistent in a rotation that includes Jaren Jackson Jr., Brandon Clarke, Jonas Valanciunas and Miles Plumlee.
