The move occurred minutes after ESPN reported the Grizzlies traded center Jay Huff to the Indiana Pacers.
After one-year stints with the San Antonio Spurs and Phoenix Suns, Landale signed with the Houston Rockets in 2023. Across two seasons, he averaged 4.8 points and 3.2 rebounds in 12.9 minutes per game.
However, the Rockets have assembled a plethora of quality centers on their roster in Alperen Sengun, Steven Adams, and Clint Capela, leaving Landale as an odd man out.
In Memphis, Landale figures to compete with Brandon Clarke for the backup center spot. Landale could see an increased role to begin the season with starter Zach Edey recovering from ankle surgery.
