Two “two-way contracts”, an extension and then leaving… Killian Tillie’s adventure with the Grizzlies ended yesterday, the Frenchman having been the last player cut before the announcement of the final roster with a view to the resumption of the season. The interior contract was worth $1.9 million.
His ouster comes in particular because of the rise of Santi Aldama within the Tennessee franchise, privileged in the preseason pending the return of Jaren Jackson Jr, to an already busy position.
At the same time, the Grizzlies have also exercised their option on the Spaniard’s rookie contract to keep it in 2023/24, in the same way as Desmond Bane and Ziaire Williams, “extended” yesterday.
It now remains to be seen where the former Gonzaga player, now 24, will be able to bounce back after two seasons where he saw little on the NBA grounds, with 54 games played in total, for 3.2 points and 1.6 rebounds on average. .
