Hall Finds New Home in NBA

A former Clemson star has found a new home in the NBA.

PJ Hall has signed a two-way NBA contract with the Memphis Grizzlies, the team announced on Sunday.

After being released by the Denver Nuggets, Hall has played with the Charlotte Hornets this summer, shining in Summer League play while averaging 24.2 points and 14.7 rebounds on 65.5% shooting per 36 minutes.

Before being released by the Nuggets this summer, Hall played in 19 games for Denver this past season on a two-way contract. The 6-foot-10, 245-pound big man averaged 1.7 points, 1.2 rebounds, 0.2 blocks and 0.2 assists per game, shooting 58.3 percent (14-of-24) from the field. He averaged 3.5 minutes per game in his 19 contests.

Hall also appeared in 13 G League games for the Grand Rapids Gold, averaging 19.2 points, 12.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.1 blocks per contest.

Hall, 23, was not drafted in 2024 but instead signed a two-way contract with Denver, thus reuniting in the Nuggets organization with fellow former Clemson standout Hunter Tyson. Tyson was picked 37th overall by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the second round of the 2023 NBA Draft, with the pick being part of an agreed-upon trade to the Nuggets.

Hall became just the 14th player in Clemson men’s basketball history to earn first-team All-ACC honors in 2023-24. He averaged 18.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game that season, on his way to Associated Press All-American Honorable Mention honors. His 659 points set the school record for points in a season. Hall finished his career in the top 10 of Clemson’s all-time scoring list (1,702 points).
