T.J. Shorts expected to join Memphis Grizzlies, skip EuroLeague offers

After starring for Paris Basketball, T.J. Shorts is likely heading to the NBA to join the Grizzlies and reunite with Tuomas Iisalo

According to French site BasketEurope, T.J. Shorts is set to leave Paris Basketball and make the jump to the NBA. The 27-year-old point guard is expected to join the Memphis Grizzlies, skipping Summer League or training camp.

Shorts would reunite with Tuomas Iisalo, now on the Grizzlies’ coaching staff, after two successful years in Paris. Despite receiving lucrative EuroLeague offers, Shorts appears determined to fulfill his NBA dream.

He reportedly turned down contracts worth six times his current salary. For Paris, it’s the end of an era as their MVP looks to conquer the next level of basketball.
