Former West Virginia guard Javon Small, the No. 48 pick in the 2025 NBA draft, signed a two-way contract with the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday, the team announced.

Small was an All-Big 12 first-team selection last season, averaging a career-high 18.6 points, 5.6 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.5 steals on 35.3% shooting from 3-point range in 32 games as a senior. He ranked second in the conference in scoring average and third in assists.

Small began his collegiate career by playing two seasons at East Carolina. He then transferred to Oklahoma State for one year, where he was an All-Big 12 honorable mention, averaging 15.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.1 assists and one steal on 37.4% shooting from 3-point range in 31 games.

The 22-year-old will split his time next season between the NBA and the Memphis Hustle in the G League. He is eligible to be active for up to 50 games in the NBA and will earn $636,435, equal to 50% of the minimum salary applicable to a player with zero years of service.
