Beijing time on November 22, Shams Chanaria reported that the Grizzlies and John Conchar signed a four-year contract of 9 million US dollars.
Kanchar is 24 years old. Last season, he and the Grizzlies signed a two-way contract. He played 19 regular season games for the Grizzlies, averaging 2.8 points and 2.5 rebounds per game. He played in the Development League most of the time, averaging 29.1 minutes per game and contributing 12.2 points and 8.3 rebounds. Earlier this week, the Grizzlies offered him a qualification offer, and he became a restricted free agent. In addition to Kanchal, the Grizzlies also signed a four-year contract with Dantoni Melton. In addition, earlier this week, they also signed a two-way contract with Kylian Tillier and a contract with Sean McDermott. Josh Jackson, who had previously played for the Grizzlies, switched to the Pistons.
Kanchal participated in the NBA Draft in 2019, but no team chose him. Soon after, he and the Grizzlies signed a two-way contract. In the 2016-19 season, he studied at Purdue University Fort Wayne.
