Gobert rolled perfectly to the cup and finished […]

Morant recently took to Twitter to share his […]

Note to self: do not poke the bear that is Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr, especially when he’s stressed.

The Memphis Grizzlies have one of the most exciting young cores in the league.

Late in the second quarter, Morant got fancy and dished out an incredible dime to Xavier Tillman that confused the hell out of Russell Westbrook and Davis Bertans.  Westbrook’s reaction was […]

Memphis Grizzlies guard Dillon Brooks doesn’t back down from anyone, not even the NBA’s leading scorer in Bradley Beal.

After the game, the hard-nosed Brooks was asked about Beal describing him as a ‘pesky defender.’ The […]

A fire was lit under Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant after he found out that Utah Jazz veteran playmaker Mike Conley Jr. was called up to replace the injured Devin Booker in the 2021 All-Star Game.

Since the franchise joined the NBA in 1995, the Grizzlies—who used to be the Vancouver Grizzlies—have compiled a record of 824-1,161.
