Ja Morant watched from the sidelines as Zach Edey suffered through one of the league’s most frustrating experiences, a dirty play that goes unpunished. Still, the Grizzlies are very encouraged by […]

It’s rare to see Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr apologize to the team’s fanbase for a “disgusting” basketball display, but that’s precisely what happened following a game where Draymond Green was ejected. In the Warriors’ 123-118 win over the Memphis Grizzlies, Green picked up two technical fouls in 33 seconds. But his questionable […]

For the second straight season, the Memphis Grizzlies are becoming far more familiar with the trainer’s room than they would prefer.

Ja Morant has a problem with the Los Angeles Lakers, and he let everyone know that in their recent matchup. Morant has never been shy to say how he feels, whether it’s during or after the game. Gilbert Arenas is a Lakers fan, and he had a message for Morant after what he said about […]

The Memphis Grizzlies are off to a 6-4 start, their third start of 6-4 or better in the last four years. The primary reason for this competitive start is a roster loaded with players worthy of a role within an NBA rotation. Consider, eight different Griz players are currently averaging at least 10 points per […]

The Memphis Grizzlies are fresh off a promising win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night. Ja Morant’s performance against Lebron James grabbed all the headlines, but the Grizzlies winning three of their last four against some of the league’s top franchises is something to hang their hats on. It hasn’t been as great […]

Ja Morant continues to remind fans that he is one of the most electrifying players in the NBA today. The key word, though, is “remind.” The two-time All-Star star point guard has been unable to stay on the court throughout the last two seasons, with injuries serving as the most recent cause of his absence. […]

The Los Angeles Lakers looked incredible to start the season, with LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and new head coach JJ Redick leading the team to wins in each of their first three games.

The Los Angeles Lakers are back on the drawing board after losing to the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday, sending them back to .500 after finishing their first road trip 1-4.

The Los Angeles Lakers finished their first road trip of the season 1-4, falling to a 4-4 record, and effectively erasing their 3-0 start under new coach JJ Redick.

Ja Morant may have exited the Memphis Grizzlies’ 131-114 demolition of the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night early after tweaking his hamstring in the third quarter, but he made his presence felt long after the game. Morant relished his team’s win over a Lakers team that he clearly has no soft spot in his […]

The Los Angeles Lakers wrapped up a five-game road trip with a loss against the Memphis Grizzlies, which spoiled a big LeBron James milestone game.

The Memphis Grizzlies took on a tall Western Conference task with their matchup against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday.

Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis will sit out Wednesday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies because of a left heel contusion, as confirmed by head coach JJ Redick via Mike Trudell. Rui Hachimura will also be unavailable due to illness. Anthony Davis was listed as questionable and day-to-day after re-aggravating a left foot injury during […]

Los Angeles Lakers rookie Dalton Knecht is quickly gaining attention for his mentality on the court.

It always takes some time for rookies to adjust to the NBA level… unless your name is Victor Wembanyama, Anthony Edwards, or Paolo Banchero. When the 2024 NBA Draft took place, there were a ton of question marks about how this new group of rookies would fare in the league, especially since there was no […]

In a recent episode of the “Up and Adams” show, NBA star Kevin Durant lauded Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant for his exceptional athleticism, particularly highlighting a 360-degree layup Morant executed during the Grizzlies’ narrow 106-104 loss to the Brooklyn Nets.

He became the first-ever […]

The Memphis Grizzlies see Zach Edey’s daily improvements paying off during practice. Edey can claim new career highs after an outstanding night against the Brooklyn Nets. Unfortunately, the Purdum alum’s latest double-double came in a heartbreaking 106-104 road defeat which wasted Grizzlies star Ja Morant’s highlight-reel moments. Edey gave the Grizzlies 25 points, 12 rebounds, […]

The Memphis Grizzlies are making incremental gains individually and collectively but a 106-104 loss to the Brooklyn Nets has to feel like a step back in several ways.

The Memphis Grizzlies have been banged up to start the season, but Ja Morant’s return to form has seemingly righted the ship. However, Taylor Jenkins giving Jaylen Wells and Zach Edey room to grow on the court is already paying dividends as well.

The Memphis Grizzlies will be without Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart for at least the first week of November.
