According to Damichael Cole of the Memphis Commercial Appeal, Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey (calf) will suit up Wednesday versus the Brooklyn Nets and will likely start despite a sore right calf. Edey's rookie season could be off to a better start, as he's averaging only 7.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 0.3 blocks in 16 […]

Ja Morant Picks Up Another Questionable Tag For Monday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (thigh) is questionable for Monday's clash with the Chicago Bulls. The 25-year-old carried the same injury designation ahead of Saturday's win over the Orlando Magic. However, he was on the floor and finished with a 16-point, 10-assist double-double. There's a good chance Morant will be out there against the Bulls. […]

The 2019 No. 2 overall pick has played well in his first two appearances in 2024-25, averaging 23.0 points and 6.0 assists. But now Morant is in danger of missing the third game on the Grizzlies' schedule because of thigh […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. Not Expected To Play Versus Houston

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (hamstring) is doubtful for Friday's meeting with the Houston Rockets. The 25-year-old continues to battle a hamstring strain. He wasn't available for the opener on Wednesday, although Santi Aldama filled the void admirably by finishing with 27 points off 10-for-16 shooting (5-for-10 from deep).
