WASHINGTON, July 23 (Xinhua) -- The Memphis Grizzlies have sent former first round pick forward Jarell Martin to the Orlando Magic in exchange for center Dakari Johnson and the draft rights to Tyler Harvey.

The Magic selected Harvey with the 51st overall pick in the 2015 draft. Harvey, 25, played for Antibes in the French LNB Pro A during the 2017-18 season.
