The Grizzlies and guard Tyus Jones have reportedly agreed to a new contract for two years worth $30 million, according to ESPN NBA Insider Adrian Wojnarowski.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Free agent G Tyus Jones is returning to the Memphis Grizzlies on a two-year, $30M deal, his agent Kevin Bradbury of <a href="https://twitter.com/REP1Basketball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@REP1Basketball</a> tells ESPN.</p><p>— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) <a href="https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1542631954247450627?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">June 30, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Jones’ agent, Kevin Bradbury of REP1 Basketball, confirmed the details.</p><p>The Grizzlies backup point guard is coming off of the best season of his career. He averaged a career-high 8.7 points per game last season, coming off the bench in Memphis. He also dropped 4.4 assists per game over 21 minutes, and showed increased efficiency. Jones knocked down 39 percent of his shots from beyond the arc. That number also is the best of his seven-year career.</p><p>Jones really showed his worth when the team was without Ja Morant. The Grizzlies superstar missed 25 games last season and were an impressive 20-5 in those games. That included victories over the Golden State Warriors, Milwaukee Bucks, Miami Heat, Dallas Mavericks and Philadelphia 76ers.</p><p>Even after signing Jones to this contract, the Grizzlies still have room under the $123 million salary cap. It certainly helps that Morant is only just over a <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/contracts/MEM.html">$12 million cap</a> hit this coming season.</p><p>Ironically, the player making the most money on the team <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grizzlies-news-jaren-jackson-jr-s-timetable-to-return-after-foot-surgery-revealed/" rel="noopener">might not be available to start the year</a>. It was revealed that Grizzlies power forward Jaren Jackson Jr. underwent successful foot surgery to repair a stress fracture. His timetable for a return is four to six months, which could bleed into 2023. He is slated to make over $23 million next season.</p><p>It’ll be interesting to see what Memphis does the rest of free agency.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But on Saturday against the Memphis Grizzlies, the 6-foot-4 guard may have topped them all.</p><p>With Nikola Jokic in the post, Murray cut backdoor. The Joker would find a cutting Murray with a bounce pass for the big slam. The 22-year-old Nuggets guard then rose up for the dunk, putting Grizzlies point guard Tyus Jones on a poster in the process.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe class="no-margin"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">😳 Jamal Murray 😳<a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/MileHighBasketball?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#MileHighBasketball</a> <a target="_blank" href="https://t.co/TtHdtgNrRr">pic.twitter.com/TtHdtgNrRr</a></p><p>— NBA TV (@NBATV) <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/NBATV/status/1211059828883259392?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 28, 2019</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></iframe></figure><p>Murray is one of the best players on a Nuggets team that is second in the Western Conference with a 21-9 record heading to Saturday’s contest. He is averaging 17.5 points, 4.3 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game while shooting 43.7 percent from the field, 32.5 percent from deep and 90.0 percent from the free-throw line.</p><p>Murray’s numbers are slightly below his production last season, during which he averaged 18.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.8 assists. He has also struggled a bit recently, scoring just eight markers in their Christmas Day loss to the New Orleans Pelicans.</p><p>Hopefully, Murray can use his big game against the Grizzles as a launchpad for a more consistent performance.</p><p>–</p><p><i>Follow ClutchPoints on </i><a href="https://twitter.com/clutchpointsapp"><i>Twitter</i></a><i> &amp; </i><a href="https://www.instagram.com/clutchpoints/?hl=en"><i>Instagram</i></a><i>, and like us on </i><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ClutchPoints/"><i>Facebook</i></a><i>.
