Last season, Frazier appeared in 27 games (11 starts) for the Pistons. Earlier in his career, following a stellar run in the G League, Frazier appeared in 40 regular season games with the Blazers.
The Grizzlies are set to face the Lakers on Tuesday as part of a two-game series against the reigning NBA champions.
