Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey made his mark on NBA record books on Monday night against the Brooklyn Nets. The rookie big man and ninth-overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft posted an unprecedented stat line with 25 points, 12 rebounds, four blocks on 9-of-10 field goals and 1-for-1 from three-point range. 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. Ja Morant’s double-dose of 360-degree, hand-switching sensationalism was wasted even though most of the starters logged over 30 minutes. Taylor Jenkins had to tackle some tough issues […]

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. Wells has been outstanding in some huge, game-changing moments on both ends […]

The Memphis Grizzlies will be without Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart for at least the first week of November. Zach Edey and Jaylen Wells are doing fine, but are far from proven commodities after just a handful of actual NBA games. Taylor Jenkins is not worried about treading water in the Western Conference though. Ja […]

Memphis Grizzlies forward GG Jackson II recently addressed playful backlash he received for dubbing San Antonio Spurs phenom Victor Wembanyama the “GOAT.” During his appearance on FanDuel’s “Run It Back,” Jackson shared a lighthearted moment about the response his statement prompted across the league. When asked by host Michelle Beadle if he still stood by […]

In a 119-106 loss to the Brooklyn Nets, Memphis Grizzlies guards Marcus Smart and Desmond Bane left the game with injuries and didn’t return. Smart suffered an ankle injury in the 13-point loss, and Bane went down with an oblique injury. On Friday, Memphis released an update on the pair of guards with a week-to-week prognosis, per […]

We’re set for another betting prediction and pick for the upcoming NBA slate as we turn our attention towards this next cross-conference showdown. The Memphis Grizzlies (3-3) will take on the Philadelphia 76ers (1-3) as both teams try to reverse their recent fortune. It’s time to continue our NBA odds series with a Grizzlies-76ers prediction and pick. The […]

The Memphis Grizzlies had the Milwaukee Bucks tapping out midway through the third quarter of a 122-99 blowout in the FexEx Forum. Giannis Antetokounmpo brute forced in 37 points for the visitors but Doc Rivers could not get the Bucks going beyond the Greek star’s production. Damian Lillard made only one of a dozen shots […]

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. While superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo was his usual brilliant self, scoring 37 points on 17-22 shooting while grabbing 11 boards, his backcourt partner Damian Lillard shot only 1-12 to score only four […]

The Memphis Grizzlies embarrassed the Milwaukee Bucks to rebound from a home loss to the lowly Brooklyn Nets a day beforehand. Giannis Antetokounpo had the Beale Street Blues at the free throw line, and the FedEx Forum crowd let the visitors hear some celebratory high notes. Taylor Jenkins and the fans also got a few SportsCenter-worthy […]

The Memphis Grizzlies got to clown Giannis Antetokounmpo before celebrating a 122-99 blowout win over the Milwaukee Bucks. The FedEx Forum was in a frenzy from the opening tip thanks to a standout performance from Ja Morant, who finished with a 26-point, 10-rebound, 14-assist triple-double. Memphis needed the momentum shift after Morant called out the […]

The Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo are a mess after six games of the 2024-25 NBA regular season. A 122-99 blowout defeat against the Memphis Grizzlies gave every basketball fan another data point to use when dissing Rivers as a coach. Rivers is not ducking the responsibilities of being the lead man after overseeing a […]

The Milwaukee Bucks are betting on a turn toward the positive sooner rather than later under Doc Rivers. Unfortunately, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s embarrassing moment at the free throw line could sum up the entire season despite a full training camp together. Oh no, Giannis 😬 He airballed the free throw.pic.twitter.com/FQTbPOeCtV — ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) November 1, 2024 […]

Steven Adams made his debut with the Houston Rockets on Monday, but it wasn’t just a debut with a new team for the big Kiwi, it was his return to an NBA court after more than 600 days away. Back in January 2023, Adams suffered a PCL injury in his right knee. Initially thought to […]

During the Memphis Grizzlies’ upset loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night, they suffered a pair of critical injuries on the perimeter. Guards Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart both left the game and did not return due to injuries, according to posts by the team on X, formerly Twitter. First, Smart went down with […]

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 NBA season continues and we have a tilt between the Brooklyn Nets and the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night. It is time to continue our NBA odds series with a Nets-Grizzlies prediction and pick. The Brooklyn Nets (1-3) face off against the Memphis Grizzlies (2-2) on Wednesday night at FedExForum in a matchup of […]

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. […]

The Memphis Grizzlies got called out publically by head coach Taylor Jenkins after a 126-123 meltdown at home against the Chicago Bulls. Ja Morant (thigh) watched from the sidelines as Desmond Bane’s desperation three-pointer clanged off the rim in the final seconds. 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. So far, Memphis has exhibited similar problems they had last year regarding […]

The Chicago Bulls improved to 2-2 on the season on Monday night as they picked up a big win against the Memphis Grizzlies on the road. The Grizzlies were up big for most of the game as they led by as many as 20 at one point. Memphis led by 14 at the break, but […]

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 […]

The Memphis Grizzlies host the Chicago Bulls on Monday night. Ja Morant is on the injury report alongside John Konchar, and both players are listed as questionable. 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. They’d gotten punked on the road by the upstart Houston Rockets and rookie Zach Edey was making history for the wrong reasons. But it is early in the 82-game gauntlet so Ja Morant was more worried […]

The Memphis Grizzlies will take on their third matchup of the 2024-25 season in a home contest against the Orlando Magic. Memphis is entering the game just one day after their tough 128-108 loss to the Houston Rockets. The Grizzlies are dealing with some injury woes, most notably to star point guard Ja Morant. Here […]

The Orlando Magic will look to build upon their strong start against the Memphis Grizzlies looking to do the same. It’s time to continue our NBA odds series with a Magic-Grizzlies prediction and […]

The Memphis Grizzlies got a juggernaut Ja Morant in the opener versus the Utah Jazz. They held a seven-point lead midway through the third quarter against the hosting Houston Rockets in the second straight road game. Then everything seemingly fell apart in what wound up a 128-108 blowout less than 24 hours before the home […]

When a team with high expectations gets thumped by the reigning champions in the season opener, there are bound to be some overreactions. That impulsive response is only amplified when the squad in question hails from the largest sports market in the country. Following the New York Knicks’ 132-109 loss to the Boston Celtics on […]

Zach Edey came into the league as one of its most polarizing prospects. Following a successful stint at Purdue, there were plenty of questions as to whether or not Edey’s game would translate to the NBA. Nonetheless, the Memphis Grizzlies valued what Edey brings to the table, selecting him with the ninth overall pick of […]

The Memphis Grizzlies got a magic moment from Zach Edey with a special assist from Ja Morant on opening night versus the hosting Utah Jazz.

Ja Morant’s heroics pulled off a 116-114 road win over the Utah Jazz to start the regular season.

One of the most hyped-up rookie additions this season was Zach Edey to the Memphis Grizzlies. The former Purdue superstar was drafted by the Grizzlies with the 9th overall pick in the NBA Draft and immediately has slotted in as a starter in the frontcourt. He is replacing Steven Adams at center and should provide […]

After a nightmarish 2023-24 season, the Memphis Grizzlies are trying to get back to the playoffs and contend in the Western Conference again this year.
