The Grizzlies traded Huff to the Pacers on Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Memphis received a second-round draft pick and a second-round pick swap in exchange for Huff. He'll help fill the void left in the frontcourt following Myles Turner's decision to sign with the Bucks. This will be the Virginia product's fifth NBA team, as he has had previous stints with the Lakers, Wizards and Nuggets. During the 2024-25 regular-season campaign with the Grizzlies, Huff averaged 6.9 points and 2.0 rebounds per game, shooting 51.5 percent from the field and 40.5 percent from beyond the arc over 64 contests.

Rotowire
Huff provided no counting stats across two minutes during Friday's 120-106 Play-In Game victory over the Mavericks.
Huff continues to play a very limited role for the Grizzlies despite the season-ending injury to Brandon Clarke. Outside of a 22-point performance in a blowout win over the Mavericks a week ago, Huff has barely touched the floor. He has appeared in 10 games over the past month, averaging 6.1 points in 10.1 minutes per game.

Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Excels after Jackson's exit
Rotowire
Huff contributed 15 points (6-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one block across 18 minutes during Tuesday's 140-103 win over the Jazz.
Huff led a huge run in the third quarter after stepping in for Jaren Jackson. Huff posted 12 points, two rebounds and a block during the stanza and was a key factor in putting the game out of reach. He's buried on the depth chart, but the team's choice to use him immediately after Jackson's exit shows that he may have a leg up on Zach Edey in the rotation.

Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Back in rotation Monday
Rotowire
Huff totaled no counting stats in one minute during Monday's 128-109 victory over San Antonio.
Huff played a grand total of one minute, continuing his rapid fall from grace. After making a name for himself earlier in the season with some intriguing performances, Huff has barely been in the rotation of late, playing fewer than 10 minutes in six straight games. Even with Brandon Clarke (back) sidelined, the fact Huff was used only sparingly during garbage time does not bode well for his long-term role.
Huff ended with 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt), one rebound and one block across 11 minutes during Wednesday's 129-115 win over the Spurs.
Huff returned from a one-game absence, adding depth to the center rotation in Memphis. The team is currently running with Huff, Zach Edey and Brandon Clarke, limiting the opportunities for all three. Whatever they are doing seems to be working, meaning Huff is unlikely to move into a sizeable role, at least not with the team's current mindset.
