The Grizzlies are signing shooting guard Dakota Mathias to a training camp contract, per Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.

Mathias, 27, is 6-foot-4 and appeared in six games with the Grizzlies last season after signing a pair of six-game contracts. He played eight games with the 76ers the year before that as a two-way player.

Originally undrafted out of Purdue in 2018, Mathias spent a season in Spain before making his way to the G League. Outside shooting is considered his strength, as he’s made nearly 40 percent of his 3-pointers with the Texas Legends.

That said, he is likely headed back to the G League, perhaps with the Memphis Hustle, as the Grizzlies already have 16 players with guaranteed, or partially guaranteed contracts.

An Exhibit 10 contract is a contract that counts toward the offseason roster of 20, but not toward the regular-season roster unless it’s converted to a standard deal.
