Goodwin was waived and will likely join the club's G League affiliate -- the South Bay Lakers -- unless another team picks him up. The 25-year-old spent time with both the Grizzlies and Suns last year, during which he appeared in 57 regular-season games and averaged 6.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists across 18.5 minutes per game.

Lakers' Jordan Goodwin: Doesn't feature Friday
Rotowire
Goodwin (hamstring) didn't play in Friday's 124-107 preseason loss to the Timberwolves.
Goodwin has been dealing with a hamstring issue, so it wasn't surprising to see him being held out of the preseason opener. His next chance to play will come against the Suns on Sunday, but it wouldn't be shocking if he sits a few more games in preseason. Goodwin is on an Exhibit 10 deal with the Lakers and is competing for a regular-season roster spot.

Lakers' Jordan Goodwin: Held out of practice
Rotowire
Goodwin didn't participate during Tuesday's practice due to a hamstring issue, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Goodwin is on an Exhibit 10 deal, which allows him the opportunity to compete for a regular-season roster spot. However, the 25-year-old guard could miss significant time in training camp due to his hamstring issue.
Lakers' Jordan Goodwin: Signs deal with Los Angeles

Grizzlies' Jordan Goodwin: Racks up 17 boards in loss
Rotowire
Goodwin registered 23 points (7-23 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 17 rebounds, three assists and four steals over 37 minutes during Friday's 123-120 loss to the Lakers.
Goodwin blew past his previous career best with 19 rebounds the last time he suited up Tuesday's versus San Antonio, and he nearly matched that mark Friday against the Lakers. He's notched double-digit rebounds in five of his past seven games, providing surprising production on the boards given his role as a 6-foot-3 point guard. In addition, Goodwin's 23 points Friday were a career high, and he's certainly making a case to be a big part of the Grizzlies' rotation next year after working on a two-way contract during the latter portion of the current campaign.

Grizzlies' Jordan Goodwin: Starting Friday
Rotowire
Goodwin is starting Friday's game against the Lakers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
Goodwin was held out of Wednesday's clash against the Cavs to ensure he stayed below his limit of active games as a two-way player, but he'll be back in action Friday evening. He should see plenty of chances considering the Grizzlies have 13 players listed as out on the injury report.

Grizzlies' Jordan Goodwin: Won't play Wednesday
Rotowire
Goodwin (G League assignment) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.
Goodwin has appeared in six straight games, including three consecutive starts, but he won't be available Wednesday while he's nearing the limit of active games that he's allotted as a two-way player. The Grizzlies will have only eight players available against Cleveland, including just two guards (Zavier Simpson and Scotty Pippen).

Grizzlies' Jordan Goodwin: Pulls down 19 rebounds
Rotowire
Goodwin ended Tuesday's 102-87 loss to San Antonio with 10 points (5-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 19 rebounds and five assists over 36 minutes.
Goodwin easily set a new career-best mark with 19 rebounds, marking his fifth game with double-digit boards. The Grizzlies dressed only eight players Tuesday, and that trend could continue given the amount of injuries on the roster. Goodwin should continue to be a solid fantasy streamer the rest of the way.

Grizzlies' Jordan Goodwin: Double-doubles in win
Rotowire
Goodwin finished with 13 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds and seven assists in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 111-101 win over the Bucks.
Goodwin has scored in double digits in two of his last three appearances, and he seems to have carved a role off the bench on a depleted Memphis team that doesn't have much to play for in the final 10 days of the regular season. He could be a streaming option in deep formats, but other than that, his bench role doesn't provide a lot of upside.

Grizzlies' Jordan Goodwin: Scores 16 points Saturday
Rotowire
Goodwin notched 16 points (6-15 FG, 4-6 3Pt), 11 rebounds, three assists and two steals across 27 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 118-88 loss to the Magic.
Goodwin came off the bench and played a key role for a Memphis team in the blowout loss, finishing as the team leader in both points and rebounds. The 25-year-old guard hadn't appeared in either of Memphis' last two contests, as he has a limited number of games in which he can be active for the rest of the season since he's on a two-way contract. Despite his strong showing Saturday, Goodwin could nonetheless find himself back on the inactive list for Monday's game in Detroit, making him tough to rely upon as a streaming option on days when his availability hasn't been confirmed.

Grizzlies' Jordan Goodwin: Transferred to G League
Rotowire
The Grizzlies transferred Goodwin to the G League's Memphis Hustle on Wednesday.
Goodwin is closing in on reaching his maximum total of active games he's allotted at the NBA level this season as a two-way player, so he'll be inactive for Wednesday's game against the Lakers after being assigned to the Hustle. Scotty Pippen will likely continue to receive extended playing time in his absence.

Grizzlies' Jordan Goodwin: Starting vs. Spurs
Rotowire
Goodwin is starting at point guard Friday night against San Antonio.
Goodwin is set to see his first action since March 13 after being listed as inactive for his team's last three contests. He'll draw the start at point guard after Desmond Bane (back) was officially ruled out. Goodwin is averaging 7.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.2 blocks in his last six appearances as a starter.

Grizzlies' Jordan Goodwin: Not active Monday
Rotowire
Goodwin is on a G League assignment and won't play for the Grizzlies in Monday's game versus Sacramento.
Goodwin has suited up in three of the Grizzlies' past five contests, averaging 8.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 25.0 minutes per game. He's nearing his season limit for the number of games that he's able to be active as a two-way player, so Goodwin could be in store for additional absences over the final month of the season.
Grizzlies' Jordan Goodwin: Coming off bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Goodwin will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.
Goodwin is being replaced in the starting lineup by Scotty Pippen, and it'll be interesting to see how many minutes Goodwin earns as a reserve. He's a slightly risky target without the starter designation.

Grizzlies' Jordan Goodwin: Flirts with triple-double in win
Rotowire
Goodwin provided eight points (3-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 109-97 victory over Washington.
Goodwin served up a nice multi-category performance Tuesday, rewarding anyone who picked him up off waivers. While he has been relatively consistent, his presence on the court is uncertain, given he is only eligible to play a handful of games down the stretch. He is worth considering if and when he plays but as we have seen over the past two weeks, the Grizzlies are not afraid to rule him out at the last second.
