Huff supplied six points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one rebound across 13 minutes during Tuesday's 122-110 loss to the Nuggets. Huff managed just 13 minutes despite the fact the Grizzlies were without Zach Edey due to an ankle injury. While Brandon Clarke continues to start at center, there had been some hope that Huff would step into a larger role. Up against a Nuggets team without their own starting center, Nikola Jokic (personal), this may have been an unfortunate matchup for Huff. He remains an elite per-minute producer, and while this was not a great outing, his role is worth monitoring moving forward.

Huff is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Warriors, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports. Huff will return to the bench for this game with Brandon Clarke (toe) returning to the first unit. Huff is averaging 10.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game when coming off the bench in 11 appearances this season.

Huff is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports. A 27-year-old journeyman and longtime G League standout, Huff will make his first career NBA start Wednesday. He's shined in a reserve role for the Grizzlies this season, averaging 10.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.9 blocks across 15.6 minutes per game. While he'll be part of the first unit, Huff is expected to play 20-to-25 minutes as Memphis will look to mix Zach Edey in at the five-spot.

Huff recorded 20 points (7-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 14 minutes during Saturday's 124-107 victory over the 76ers. Huff dominated in the post during Saturday's win, making 70.0 percent of his tries from the field while contributing at the rim with a swat. Playing time has been somewhat limited for the big man so far this season behind Zach Edey, so while his most recent appearance was impressive, it's unfair to expect this type of production from Huff moving forward.

Huff and the Grizzlies agreed to a two-way contract Wednesday. Huff has struggled to gain his footing in the NBA, having had stints with the Lakers, Wizards and Nuggets for a total of 31 appearances. He's likely to spend the bulk of his time with the Hustle in the G League this season.
