Former Louisiana Tech Bulldog Kenneth Lofton, Jr., was released by the Memphis Grizzlies a week prior to Christmas in order to make room for Ja Morant’s return to the franchise.
However, Lofton signed a two-way contract with the Philadelphia 76ers on December 23.
The undrafted second year player appeared in 39 total games for the Grizzlies the past two seasons. He averaged 4.1 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.9 assists while shooting 48.5 percent from the field during his time with the Grizzlies.
The 21-year-old won the 2022-23 NBA G League Rookie of the Year, averaging 20.2 points, 10.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.2 steals per game during that award-winning G-League season..
