Grizzlies Sign Guard Chucky Atkins

By Associated Press

Posted January 23 2006, 4:18 PM EST

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Looking for help in the backcourt since Damon Stoudamire injured his knee late last month, the Memphis Grizzlies signed guard Chucky Atkins on Monday.

Atkins joined the Grizzlies in Miami where they play the Heat on Tuesday night.

The seven-year veteran was averaging 6.7 points and 2.5 assists with the Washington Wizards before they agreed to a buyout of his $4.5 million contract last week. He wanted more playing time in Washington.

Atkins will help take pressure off Bobby Jackson, who is averaging 26.1 minutes per game and played a season-high 42 minutes in a loss at Philadelphia last week.

"Chucky is a veteran point guard, and he fills our need for an added leader in the backcourt," said Jerry West, the Grizzlies' director of basketball operations. "He will be a great addition to our team, and we are happy he was available and eager to come to Memphis."

Atkins started a career-high 82 games last season for the Los Angeles Lakers, setting career highs with 13.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 35.4 minutes per game.

Stoudamire had season-ending knee surgery earlier this month.

Looks like it was a short lived unemployment for Chuky.   I'm sure he will have a much better time in Memphis than he did in Washington.
