He had been playing for the NBAGL\u2019s Memphis Hustle before he was called up by the Grizzlies.<\/p>\n<p>The 22-year-old didn\u2019t appear in the first game in which he was active with the Grizzlies, but recorded three points, four rebounds and two steals in 18 minutes in a February 11 loss at Denver and notched a double-double in last night\u2019s victory over the Jazz. He played 32 minutes as Memphis\u2019 starting center, finishing with 11 points, 11 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block.<\/p>\n<p>Richmond, a 6\u20195\u2033 guard, signed a non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 deal with Washington last fall after going undrafted out of St. John\u2019s this past June. The 24-year-old was waived at the end of the preseason and reported to the Wizards\u2019 G League affiliate, the Capital City Go-Go.<\/p>\n<p>Richmond was productive in his three outings with the Wizards, averaging 8.3 PPG, 3.3 RPG, 2.7 APG and 2.7 SPG in 22.3 MPG, with a shooting slash line of .625\/.500\/1.000.<\/p>\n<p>The Grizzlies now have one standard roster opening.
