Just a 10-day contract for now, but Tosan is officially in the NBA! Not with the Pistons but the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies are signing G League forward Tosan Evbuomwan on a 10-day contract, @georgelangberg of GSL Sports Group tells ESPN. Evbuomwan — undrafted off Princeton’s Sweet 16 team — has averaged 15 points, 8.6 rebounds and 3.9 assists for the Motor City Cruise.
Even if he doesn't stick with the Grizz, it's a great sign that he got promoted after half a season in G-League. So happy for him.

Gotta be ready when opportunity knocks. Hopefully, he can get some minutes in a blowout. Maybe earn another 10-day.

Tosan in tonight! Three minutes, one foul so far (and apparently drew a charge on Klay)

I totally missed this! Didn't see the game but he made a corner 3 for his first NBA points.
Found a clip of it:

A reversal of his college experience: he is the recipient of a dish from a big driving the lane.

After 2Q: 15 mins, 1-6 FG, 1-2 3FG, 3 points, 10 RBs, 1 assist, 2 PF, -8 in a game where the Celtics are +20, according to NBA.com
They are definitely giving him a long look today, which is the last game in his 10-day contract I believe.

Signed on January 30th, so he has another game or two after this.

6 more minutes during garbage time (well, the whole 4th quarter was extended garbage time). 1 more board and a turnover in a pretty awful 40 point loss. Memphis has double digit players on the injured list right now.

Great to see him getting real minutes!
12 rebounds, including 7 offensive, in 29 minutes is really impressive. Obviously, 1-6 is rough but only 1 TO on a night where his team made 19 of them.
Next assignment: score in double-digits.

His single coverage defense on Tatum was elite, Celtics announcers even commented on it (although Tatum still scored a lot). Have to believe there's a place in the league for this sort of player.

A bit more about the truly ridiculous situation that required them to dig very deep to assemble any kind of team at all right now:
