In this June 2009 file photo, Lester Hudson works out for the Memphis Grizzlies at the FedExForum practice
The Grizzlies have added some Memphis flavor to their roster, claiming former Central High player Lester Hudson off waivers.
Hudson, a former Tennessee-Martin standout, was waived Wednesday by the Boston Celtics. He played in 16 games for the Celtics this season, averaging 1.4 points in 4.4 minutes. He also spent time this season with Maine of the NBA Development League.
Hudson will be at FedExForum tonight as the Grizzlies play the Utah Jazz. But it’s not known how soon he’ll be in uniform.
