Maozinha Pereira: Deal with Memphis expires
Pereira became a free agent Tuesday after his second 10-day contract with the Grizzlies expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Rather than re-signing Pereira for the rest of the season, the Grizzlies have opted to fill the rookie forward's spot on the roster with wing Jack White, who inked a 10-day deal with the club Tuesday. With injuries having ravaged the Memphis roster, Pereira was able to get frequent playing time over the course of his two 10-day deals with the Grizzlies, averaging 6.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 0.9 steals, 0.7 three-pointers, 0.6 blocks and 0.3 assists in 17.4 minutes across seven games.

Grizzlies' Maozinha Pereira: Double-doubles in loss
Pereira provided 13 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 36 minutes during Saturday's 116-96 loss to Philadelphia.
Playing in just the seventh game of his career, Pereira recorded his first NBA double-double. He has now played at least 30 minutes in two straight games, making the most of his opportunities. While he is someone to consider picking up, his role is far from secure given the current state of the Grizzlies roster. Feel free to take a chance on him, but don't be surprised if he is out of the rotation at some point soon.
