The Memphis Grizzlies and small forward Andre Iguodala have reached an agreement to keep him out of training camp, according to Chris Herrington of the Daily Memphian.

Iguodala is owed $17.2 million this upcoming season, the final year of his contract. The 2015 Finals MVP isn’t expected to play a single game for the Grizzlies, who are rebuilding the franchise around point guard Ja Morant and big man Jaren Jackson Jr.

Iguodala will remain on the Grizzlies roster, likely well into the season. However, the team agreed the veteran can continue private workouts at a location of his choosing while Memphis pursues trades involving the former Golden State Warrior and NBA Finals MVP.

There is a mutual understanding, per sources, that the situation may not reach a resolution until well into the season. On December 15, players who signed as free agents this summer will be eligible to be traded, potentially expanding the range of possible deals. The NBA trade deadline is February 6th.
