Grizzlies Finalize Exhibit 10 Contract With Zach Cleveland
The Memphis Grizzlies have finalized an Exhibit 10 contract with Zach Cleveland, an undrafted forward who played at Liberty.
Cleveland spent all four years of college with the Flames and was named Conference USA Player of the Year in 2025/26.
He averaged 11.9 points, 7.6 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game that season.
An Exhibit 10 deal is a non-guaranteed contract for training camp, so it does not guarantee Cleveland a place on the Grizzlies’ regular-season roster.
The team can convert the deal into a two-way contract before the season begins.
If Memphis waives him and he then spends at least 60 days with its G League affiliate, he can earn a bonus of up to $91,000.
The next step is whether he remains with the Grizzlies or joins the team’s G League affiliate.
The Memphis Grizzlies finalized an Exhibit 10 contract with undrafted rookie Zach Cleveland, the team announced.
The signing was first reported on June 26 and finalized on October 12.
