The Memphis Grizzlies have been making significant roster decisions to start the 2024-25 NBA regular season. Moves not made have to factor into EVP Zach Kleiman’s job performance review as well. As first reported by The Daily Memphian’s Drew Hill, the Grizzlies gave up the option on Jake LaRavia, declining the 22-year-old swingman’s fourth-year rookie […]

The Milwaukee Bucks look like deer in the headlights after losing their fourth game in a row, this time to the (3-3) Memphis Grizzlies.

Unfortunately, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s embarrassing moment at the free throw line could sum up the entire season despite a full training camp together.

The Memphis Grizzlies are slipping up on the court but the front office has been proactive with the roster well before any NBA landscape-altering trades are made. First, it was Jay Huff’s hilarious four-year deal to open up a two-way roster spot before playing the Chicago Bulls (October 28). Then the Grizzlies signed Colin Castleton […]

The Memphis Grizzlies, to start the decade, looked like they were going to be one of the league’s next great powerhouses. They had one of the best young point guards in the NBA in Ja Morant leading the way, a Defensive Player of the Year-caliber paint protector in Jaren Jackson Jr. patrolling the interior, and […]

The Memphis Grizzlies are being challenged to start the 2024-25 NBA season but the front office made a quick decision regarding the roster. The organization treated Jay Huff to a contract upgrade, going from a two-way to a full four-year NBA contract. Ja Morant’s ‘slippage’ comment about the Grizzlies showed serious concern for the defense. […]

Coach Taylor Jenkins is challenging the Memphis Grizzlies to get serious amid a lackluster 2-2 start to the season. Lackluster rebounding and ‘atrocious’ defensive focus from the Grizzlies have led to multiple 20-point leads being squandered. Fans leaving the FedEx Forum are grumbling as loudly as they yell for Yuki Kawamura, and far more often. […]

A frustrated FedEx forum crowd filed out wondering just how exactly a 20-point […]

With Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, and others finally healthy after an injury-riddled year that derailed the Memphis Grizzlies a season ago, there is a strong belief that this organization can be a dark horse contender in the Western Conference during the 2024-25 season.

The Memphis Grizzlies have already seen Zach Edey’s worst and Ja Morant’s near-juggernaut best just three games into the 2024-25 NBA season. It’s a bit too early to start tracking trends beyond the Grizzlies monitoring Morant’s health game by game to start the 82-game slog. However, the coaching staff will always be gauging just how […]

Morant is dealing with right thigh soreness, while Konchar has a strained left foot after going for seven points and six rebounds against the Houston Rockets. Here’s everything […]

The Memphis Grizzlies positively responded to Taylor Jenkins in the season’s home-opening win over the previously undefeated Orlando Magic.
