“Grizz Nation I thank you for everything, you have been some great loyal fans to me from day 1 and I am more than happy to have been able to wear that Beale Street blue for 3yrs,” said Carter in his extended tweet. “To my Grizz Prep family, you will be truly missed. 🙏🏽 GNG Thank you once again!!! RT @memgrizz: Half-man, half-amazing, all- heart.”

Carter averaged 8.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.8 assists during his last year with the Grizzlies — surprisingly the best of his three years with the Western Conference franchise. He'll take his talent and mentorship to a young Kings team trying to rebuild its culture from scratch.
