The injury-ravaged Memphis Grizzlies and Taylor Jenkins have not had a smooth start to the 2024-25 NBA season. Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, GG Jackson, and Zach Edey are all on the injury report. Jaylen Wells is working out well enough for a rookie. Santi Aldama has been sensational in spurts, but the team’s results have […]

The Memphis Grizzlies are going with a next-man-up mentality as Thanksgiving Day dinner plans become more set in stone. Much like parents and children fighting over a refusal to eat certain vegetables, Ja Morant and the Grizzlies have had little choice in the matter. Taylor Jenkins has had to mix and match the lineups as […]

Draymond Green has made plenty of enemies throughout the course of his career, and as long as he’s active, his physicality on the court and combative nature off of it will continue to draw the ire of his opponents. Most recently, Green landed on hot water with the Memphis Grizzlies after he was (belatedly) called […]

Several figures around the NBA have given their take on Draymond Green’s controversial foul of Zach Edey but few have been more stern than Kendrick Perkins.

However, the 25-year-old former NBA Defensive Player of the Year is […]

Winning games while working with shorthanded rotations is an art and much of a science when applied to the NBA’s 82-game slog. The Memphis Grizzlies might be without Ja Morant (hip) until Thanksgiving Day but the rest of the squad is celebrating shared success amid a hit-and-miss start to the season. Scotty Pippen Jr. and […]

It’s early when it comes to judging the 2024 NBA Draft class but Ja Morant’s injury-riddled Memphis Grizzlies might have the best rookies on any roster. Zach Edey is converting new believers down on Beale Street while Taylor Jenkins has invested time in unearthing a gem of a second-rounder. Jaylen Wells has not yet been […]

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 […]

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 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.
