Career-high 11 points
Bal racked up 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 130-119 loss to the Knicks.
Analysis
Bal recorded his third consecutive career-high performance, albeit in his third career game. 'Tis the season, as they say, and Bal certainly epitomizes what the silly season can bring. With that said, none of his performances have jumped off the page, and with all the uncertainty in Memphis, there is no need to prioritze him, outside of deeper formats.

Logs 28 minutes in debut
Bal finished Saturday's 125-124 victory over the Bulls with three points (1-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds and two steals in 28 minutes.
Analysis
Bal made his NBA debut, fresh off signing a 10-day contract earlier Saturday. With Memphis holding out 11 players due to injury and another (DeJon Jarreau, elbow) exiting early, Bal ended up seeing extensive playing time right out of the gate. However, Bal delivered a listless fantasy line Saturday, which had been par for the course during his time in the G League. Over his 29 appearances for the G League's Westchester Knicks prior to signing with Memphis, Bal averaged just 7.5 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.4 three-pointers and 1.0 assists in 18.4 minutes per game.

Secures 10-day deal with Memphis
Bal agreed to a 10-day contract with the Grizzlies on Saturday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Analysis
Bal has spent the entire 2025-26 season in the G League with the Westchester Knicks, appearing in 29 games while averaging 7.5 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.4 three-pointers and 1.0 assists in 18.4 minutes per contest. The undrafted rookie out of Santa Clara should get the chance to make his NBA debut for the injury-plagued Grizzlies over the course of his 10-day deal, but he lacks a fantasy-friendly game and likely won't offer much utility even if he captures a regular 20-plus-minute role.
