NBA global games are a nice opportunity to show the world the league's athletic prowess on a neutral court, and the Memphis Grizzlies will get their turn on Thursday in Berlin against the Orlando Magic.
As the Grizzlies prepare to face off against former teammate Desmond Bane and the Orlando Magic in Berlin today, you can't help but to reminisce on just how a few seasons ago the Memphis Grizzlies felt like the NBA’s future arriving ahead of schedule.
Ja Morant appears to be all-in on Operation South Beach. The Memphis Grizzlies star point guard Morant recently purchased a $3.2 million home in Miami, Fla., Damichael Cole of the Memphis Commercial Appeal reported on Wednesday.
It's hard for everything to go right in the NBA, whether that's due to managerial decisions, bad luck with injuries, or other factors. In league history, there are some moments that stand out, moments that could have gone in a completely different direction and drastically changed the league.
Uncertainty has followed the Memphis Grizzlies for weeks, and Ja Morant has stayed quiet through most of it. With trade rumors growing and the NBA deadline nearing, signals around the league suggest Morant has a clear idea of where he would want to land if a deal happens.
The Memphis Grizzlies won’t have Ja Morant in the lineup for the first leg of this European tour as trade rumors continue to swirl. He’s participated in practices overseas and has been getting treatment, but won’t play in this NBA Berlin Game and may have played his final game for the team if a deal can be struck over the next week.
The Memphis Grizzlies hoped the worst was behind them after a rough start to the season. Injuries have already tested their depth, and the road trip to Europe added another layer of strain.
LeBron James had to walk back comments that his agent made about the Los Angeles Lakers trading his longest-tenured teammate. Still, Rich Paul may be right about the future of Austin Reaves in Los Angeles.
Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant has had better (and worse) years in the NBA. When it comes to his sneakers, this season is unmatched. The Nike Ja 3 has been a smash hit.
Three injured Grizzlies players will remain sidelined for several more weeks, the team announced today in a press release (Twitter link). Memphis’ update on starting center Zach Edey is the most notable of the bunch.
Ja Morant is with the Memphis Grizzlies for their European trip, but his name continues to surface in trade rumors ahead of the NBA's deadline next month.
If the Lakers want to build toward a deep playoff run, they'll need to find reliable shooters. While they're expected to be active ahead of the Feb. 5 trade deadline, it seems that the Purple and Gold will look in their backyard first for a potential solution.
