Small will have the next couple of months to prepare for the 2025-26 season before preseason play begins. Earlier this month, he signed a two-way contract with the Grizzlies, meaning he'll have the abiltiy to bounce back and forth between the big league club and their G League affiliate, the Memphis Hustle.
