The Grizzlies have signed Chris Johnson to a second 10-day contract.

Johnson, an undrafted SF, is shooting 33 percent from downtown in five games with Memphis. He may not stick with the team after this deal ends and there's no reason to bother with him in standard fantasy leagues.

The Grizzlies are expected to re-sign Chris Johnson to another 10-day contract.

Such a move would allow Johnson to stick with the Grizz through the All-Star break, but if the team wanted to keep him beyond a second 10-day deal, they'd have to sign him for the remainder of the season.

With Rudy Gay heading to Toronto the Grizzlies are without a starting small forward until they flip Jose Calderon for one, meaning Chris Johnson could draw a few starts.

The Grizzlies are expected to land a guy like Tayshaun Prince or Corey Maggette from Detroit, or Vince Carter from Dallas, in exchange for Calderon. And if it happens to be Maggette, his body probably isn't ready to handle starter's minutes. Johnson is not a must-add fantasy player, but could see a boost in value with this deal.

Chris Johnson scored a career-high 10 points in 22 minutes against Brooklyn on Friday.

He signed a 10-day deal on Tuesday due to solid play in the D-League. In 21 D-League games, Johnson 2.6 points, 4 rebounds and 1.81 steals with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. He's not on the fantasy radar, though.

Grizzlies signed G/F Chris Johnson to a 10-day contract.

The Grizz are adding cheap, warm bodies to their roster after executing a salary dump trade Tuesday morning. Johnson has emerged as one of the better players in the D-League and will get a crack at filling the old Wayne Ellington role in Memphis.
