Last season, the Grizzlies dealt with a lot of injuries so they were the 13th seed in the Western Conference with a 27-55 record.

They missed the NBA playoffs for the first time since the 2020 season.

Morant only appeared in nine games last season, but he finished with averages of 25.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 8.1 assists per contest while shooting 47.1% from the field and 27.5% from the three-point range.

If he returns to full health next season, the two-time NBA All-Star will likely be in the conversation as one of the best 15 players in the league.

In addition to Jackson Jr. and Morant, the Grizzlies also have Marcus Smart, Derrick Rose, Desmond Bane Luke Kennard and GG Jackson II.
