Heavy reliance on a single creator has tended to stall out at the highest levels, and that’s even more true for teams relying on smaller guards. 

When the Grizzlies acquired Green in a late-June trade that sent De’Anthony Melton to the Philadelphia 76ers, there was speculation that the team would look to trade Green for a younger, healthier player. But, now, it seems as if the Grizzlies and Green have realized the value of their pairing.

Ja Morant and the Grizzlies assembled at FedExForum for media day. It’s the team’s 22nd season in Memphis. And it should be a blast. 

There was the discussion of Jaren Jackson Jr.‘s injury and timetable for return, the status of Brandon Clarke’s potential contract extension and the next step for Ja Morant as he continues to be one of the faces of the NBA. Read what was said at Media Day.

John Konchar might be the least glamorous player in the NBA. But he could also be a terrific return on investment for the Grizzlies, who need him to play well this season.

Grizzlies report on Jaren Jackson availability

General Manager Zach Kleiman offers an update on when the player, who underwent successful surgery to address a stress fracture in his right foot, will return. 

Days before the Grizzlies report to training camp, a trio of the team’s rookies basked in the warm reception they got at the Memphis Redbirds’ Grizzlies’ Night at AutoZone Park.

The Grizzlies assistant who works with Ja Morant on his shooting made 276 3-point shots and 95% of his free throws while at Missouri State. Plus, he knows how to “push the right buttons and mess with you in the best way.” Sounds like the perfect coach to work with Morant.

Grizzlies Insider: Ja Morant lands at No. 9 in ESPN’s NBArank series

Ja Morant’s No. 9 ranking in ESPN’s top 100 players puts him on the heels of Kevin Durant and LeBron James. 

The Grizzlies gather on Monday for the annual pre-training camp and like every NBA team, they have some questions.

On this Daily Memphian Memphis Grizzlies Podcast, beat writer Drew Hill and columnist Chris Herrington break down the release of the NBA top 100 players lists from ESPN and CBS. 

For two shows, Pete Pranica will transform into Mark Twain. Call him Big Twain, maybe? It’s all for the benefit of the Tennessee Shakespeare Company. And it’s just the latest evidence that Pranica is a great Memphian. 

Ja Morant is setting the bar extremely high for himself this season. In order to reach his goals, the star knows he will need to stay healthy. 

The Grizzlies will begin training camp later this month and play in their first preseason game on Saturday, Oct. 1.

As the Jazz likely continue to clean house, many Memphis fans have publicly wondered if Jordan Clarkson could be a trade candidate.

Ja Morant questioned a report that he has a signature shoe on the way, but the point guard should be at the top of the list for Nike if they indeed separate from Kyrie Irving. 

Here are 90+1 things that Memphis Grizzlies fans are wishing for when the preseason gets started one month from today.

Several of the Grizzlies players have gone overseas this summer, including Santi Aldama, Brandon Clarke, Steven Adams and Jaren Jackson Jr. And, Morant is now neighbors with his parents.

The Grizzlies star has been in Austin, Texas for a couple weeks working out at Kollective, a social performance club for modern professionals, where his trainer Mo Wells is based. 

There’s a case to be made for Memphis: Durant could win big alongside Ja Morant, and do so in a way that gets him the kind of credit that eluded him with Golden State.
