Grizzlies' Ja Morant makes 'fake' admission about Desmond Bane trade to Magic



The Memphis Grizzlies will look a bit different next season following the trade of Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic, which Ja Morant barely could believe. Bane, the last pick of the first round in the 2020 draft, had spent the first five seasons of his career in Memphis, playing alongside Morant as the Grizzlies' formidable young backcourt.

Grizzlies, Cam Spencer agree to $6 million contract restructure



The Memphis Grizzlies are entering a new era of their franchise after a very difficult couple of seasons since breaking out as a Western Conference contender in 2022. Fast-forward a couple of years, the Grizzlies are coming off of getting swept in the first round of the playoffs by the Oklahoma City Thunder and trading star guard Desmond Bane as a result. Now, Memphis is looking to pivot and build around the core of Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. In order to do so, the Grizzlies will have to find quality role players to put around their two stars either from within the organization or in the draft and free agency. One of those internal players that the Grizzlies are depending on is former UConn standout Cam Spencer.

Warriors Summer League takeaways: Will Richard leads egalitarian attack vs. Grizzlies



A dozen Warriors players scored in the first half of Tuesday's game against Memphis, a fitting accomplishment for a squad that does not have a singular high-profile prospect on its roster. The Warriors shot 53% from the first half, and used a 11-2 run in the third quarter to build a 10-point lead. The Grizzlies fought back, but the Golden State went on a run of their own in the fourth to secure the 96-84 victory. Jackson Rowe led the Warriors with 14 points, and rookie Will Richard was a two-way standout with 12 points and two steals.

NBA Insiders' Ja Morant Trade Prediction Says Everything About Grizzlies



The Memphis Grizzlies made a huge move at the beginning of the 2025 NBA offseason by sending star guard Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic, cutting their "big three" down to a duo of Jaren Jackson Jr. and Ja Morant. The Grizzlies, even without Bane, should still be set up for a semi-successful 2025-26 season. Acquiring Kentavious Caldwell-Pope from the Magic, signing Ty Jerome in free agency, and drafting Cedric Coward 11th overall help with their Bane-less backcourt, but they are likely still far from competing in a ruthless Western Conference.
