From James Wiseman to Precious Achiuwa, here's which teams former Memphis Tigers players have gone to in the NBA.

Overview

  • Achiuwa agreed to a fully non-guaranteed one-year contract that lets him compete for a roster spot in training camp, according to multiple reports.
  • Local and national reporting indicates the signing would put Miami back over the luxury-tax threshold for 2025-26.
  • To add him to the preseason group, the Heat are expected to cut one of their Exhibit 10 invitees, per the Miami Herald’s Anthony Chiang.
  • If he makes the team, Achiuwa is viewed as depth behind Bam Adebayo and Kel’el Ware in a thin center rotation.
  • The 26-year-old returns to the franchise that drafted him 20th in 2020 after averaging 6.6 points and 5.6 rebounds on 50.2% shooting for the Knicks last season.
