The Memphis Grizzlies signed Anthony Tolliver for the remainder of the 2019-20 season, the team announced.

Tolliver's 10-day contract with Memphis was nearing its end when league play was suspended. All 10-day contracts signed prior to the NBA's stoppage reportedly expire on June 23.

The 35-year-old began the campaign with the Portland Trail Blazers and was even thrust into the starting lineup after multiple injuries in their frontcourt. Portland traded Tolliver in January to the Sacramento Kings, who bought him out a month later.

Tolliver, who's a career 37.3% 3-point shooter, rediscovered his outside stroke during his five-game stint with the Grizzlies. He averaged 5.4 points and shot 41.2% from deep in 19.2 minutes per contest.
