Memphis begins summer league play Monday in Salt Lake City. The Grizzlies play Utah at 8 p.m. CT. The team will be coached by Jason March.

The Memphis Grizzlies have finalized their coaching staff for the 2024-25 season, adding four new coaches to head coach Taylor Jenkins’ bench. 

Memphis drafted the majority of its projected 2024-25 roster. This draft class will likely see its first action in a Grizzlies uniform this week as the NBA Summer League tips off Monday in Salt Lake City.

Tuomas Iisalo, 41, is known for running an imaginative offensive scheme, which has been the catalyst for his quick coaching rise.

Before the Memphis Redbirds game Wednesday against the Nashville Sounds, Memphis Grizzlies 2024 first-round pick Zach Edey and one of the Grizzlies second-round picks, Jaylen Wells, signed autographs. Wells also threw out the ceremonial first pitch. The Sounds won the game, 4-3, in 11 innings.

After Wednesday’s game, the Redbirds will roll out the biggest fireworks show in AutoZone Park history. 

NBA Summer League is less than a week away. How many games can the top players expect to play?

Amid a quiet start to NBA free agency, some notes and questions on where things stand with the Grizzlies. Will Luke Kennard be back? What does this roster need most?

Jeffries was a four-star, top-100 prospect out of Olive Branch High when he joined the Memphis Tigers as part of coach Penny Hardaway’s No. 1-ranked 2019 recruiting class.

“I have made the difficult decision of pulling myself out of the process to compete for a spot at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games with Canada,” Edey told the Canadian press.

It is expected both sides will pursue a new contract. NBA free agency begins at 5 p.m. Sunday.

The Memphis Grizzlies introduced their NBA Draft selections on Friday, and Zach Edey said he is excited to play with point guard Ja Morant.

Drew Hill and Chris Herrington discuss the Memphis Grizzlies draft picks and answer questions from listeners. 

While the draft is just wrapping up, the second half of the offseason won’t wait. What could be next for the Grizzlies?

Memphis also will play in the Salt Lake City Summer League prior to the Las Vegas league.

The Memphis Grizzlies needed shooters, so they doubled down in the second round of the NBA Draft on Thursday, June 27. 

Grizzlies general manager Zach Kleiman admitted that Edey was a bit of a polarizing player to some.

Zach Kleiman called Edey a “particularly special fit” for Memphis, giving them an eager and competitive big man that fits well alongside the pieces that they already have. 

The Grizzlies own the No. 9, No. 39 and No. 57 picks in the 2024 NBA Draft that begins tonight. Herrington looks at what the team might do with each of those picks.

Having mostly recovered from an injury that kept him off the court for a majority of last season, the Grizzlies forward helped spruce up Bickford Park in Memphis, gardening, painting, meeting young students and bagging snacks for kids.
