The NBA Summer League gives players 10 fouls in a game. Jahmai Mashack<\/a> took advantage of every single one of them with the Memphis Grizzlies Monday night in his debut in the Salt Lake City Summer League.<\/p>\n

Mashack fouled out when he tried to take a charge with 1:46 left in the fourth quarter of a 112-111 loss to the Utah Jazz<\/a>. He played 23 minutes off the bench, finishing with four points, five rebounds and nine assists.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Grizzlies officially announced the addition of Mashack on social media on Sunday. Memphis picked him in the second round of the NBA Draft on June 26, selecting the former Tennessee Basketball<\/a> lockdown defender with the final pick of the draft.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019ve always wanted to be and strived to be a winner\u2019<\/p>\n

Mashack was selected by the Houston Rockets on draft night, but traded to the Grizzlies via the Warriors. Mashack had an introductory press conference in Memphis on June 26.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited because I\u2019ve always been about winning,\u201d Mashack said at the time<\/a>, \u201cand I\u2019ve always wanted to be and strived to be a winner and I think that fits what they\u2019re trying to do, as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mashack was part of a seven-team trade that became official Sunday, attaching him to the Golden State Warriors. That trade had to become official before the Grizzlies trade with the Warriors, in which Memphis acquired Mashack, could become official. <\/p>\n

Phoenix acquired the most players, getting Jalen Green<\/a>, Dillon Brooks<\/a>, Khaman Maluach<\/a>, Rasheer Fleming<\/a>, Koby Brea<\/a>, Daeqwon Plowden<\/a> and a second-round pick.\u00a0Houston got Kevin Durant<\/a> and Clint Capela<\/a> and Brooklyn got two second-round picks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Golden State got Mashack, who was later traded to Memphis for Florida guard Will Richard with the No. 56 overall pick, and Alex Toohey<\/a>. Atlanta got a second-round swap, David Roddy<\/a> and cash, the Lakers got Adou Theiro<\/a> and Minnesota got Rocco Zikarsky<\/a>, two second-round picks and cash.<\/p>\n
