Quinten Post Joins Grizzlies After Warriors Decline to Match Offer Sheet

Memphis Grizzlies center Quinten Post is joining the team after the Golden State Warriors declined to match his three-year, $30 million offer sheet, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Post averaged 7.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.4 assists in 17.3 minutes across 67 games last season, including 35 starts. The 26-year-old gives Memphis a stretch-big option after hitting 93 threes for Golden State. However, his immediate fantasy ceiling is severely capped by a crowded depth chart. With Zach Edey returning to health alongside recent offseason additions Cameron Boozer and Isaiah Stewart, Post will have to fight for consistent minutes before becoming more than a situational source of triples for fantasy managers.

D'Angelo Russell Traded to Grizzlies

Washington Wizards guard D'Angelo Russell is being traded to the Memphis Grizzlies along with a future second-round pick and a future second-round pick swap, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The move is part of a larger six-team deal involving the Wizards, Mavericks, Clippers, Pistons, Bucks, and Grizzlies. Russell averaged 10.2 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 4.0 assists last season, but he was away from Washington late in the year. His fantasy outlook in Memphis is unsettled. Ja Morant's departure opens up usage, but Russell will still have to compete with Scotty Pippen Jr., Ty Jerome, and Walter Clayton Jr. for backcourt minutes. He needs to win a steady role in training camp before fantasy managers can count on him for assists and threes.

Cameron Boozer Hits Four Threes Against the Jazz

Memphis Grizzlies forward Cameron Boozer recorded 18 points, seven rebounds, four assists, and one steal across 27 minutes in Monday's 109-100 Salt Lake City Summer League loss to the Utah Jazz. The No. 3 overall pick shot 6-for-9 from the field, 4-for-5 from three-point range, and 2-for-2 at the line, giving Memphis another efficient scoring night after his 15-point debut against Oklahoma City. Boozer's fantasy appeal is tied to his rare frontcourt passing, rebounding, and improved shooting. He still needs a clear rookie role, but the multi-category profile is easy to buy.

Quinten Post Lands Three-Year, $30 Million Offer Sheet From Memphis

Golden State Warriors restricted free-agent center Quinten Post is signing a three-year, $30 million offer sheet with the Memphis Grizzlies, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The Warriors have until 11:59 p.m. ET on Tuesday to match the deal. Post averaged 7.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.4 assists in 17.3 minutes across 67 games last season, while his career 36.4 percent mark from deep gives him a clean stretch-big fantasy hook. Memphis would offer a clearer long-term path, but Zach Edey still caps Post's short-term minutes ceiling if Golden State declines to match.

Cameron Boozer Scores 15 Points in Grizzlies Summer League Debut

Memphis Grizzlies forward Cameron Boozer finished with 15 points, four rebounds, and four assists in a 111-74 Salt Lake City Summer League win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. The No. 3 pick shot 7-for-11 from the field, giving Memphis an efficient first look at his polished scoring and passing package. Boozer averaged 22.5 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 4.1 assists at Duke, so the all-around line fits his profile. His fantasy appeal is real because of the points, boards, and assists blend, but the next question is how quickly Memphis lets him handle regular-season usage.

AJ Johnson Traded to Grizzlies

According to Shams Charania of ESPN, the Memphis Grizzlies acquired guard AJ Johnson, a protected 2030 Warriors first-round pick and two second-round picks from the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for forward/center Santi Aldama (knee). The 21-year-old will get a fresh start in Memphis and could see an expanded opportunity as the Grizzlies begin a rebuild following the trade of star guard Ja Morant (elbow) to Portland earlier this week.

GG Jackson II Sticking with Grizzlies

Memphis Grizzlies guard GG Jackson II will remain with the organization for this upcoming season. On Monday, the Grizzlies exercised Jackson's $2.4 million team option for the 2026-2027 season. This seemed like a smart decision by the Grizzlies to bring back Jackson on a cheap team-friendly deal. This past season, Jackson averaged 12.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.5 assists across 21.4 minutes per game in 55 contests. The expectation is that Jackson will continue to have a similar role in the rotation this upcoming season. His spot in the rotation could change depending on what the Grizzlies do in free agency, but he should stay involved regardless.

Kris Murray Traded to Memphis

Forward Kris Murray is being traded from the Portland Trail Blazers to the Memphis Grizzlies as part of the Ja Morant deal, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Murray and Jerami Grant were the return for the former All-Pro guard. Murray, a first-round pick in 2023, failed to make much of an impact in his three seasons in Portland. He averaged 5.8 points and 3.6 rebounds in 23.4 minutes per game last season. However, he's in the final year of his cheap rookie contract ($3.57 million per year) and can provide good wing bench depth for a young Memphis squad.

Jerami Grant Headed to Memphis

Veteran forward Jerami Grant is being traded from the Portland Trail Blazers to the Memphis Grizzlies as part of the trade for guard Ja Morant, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Forward Kris Murray is also joining the Grizzlies. Grant has struggled with injuries the past few seasons, averaging 52 appearances over the last three seasons, but continued to bring scoring inside and out. The 32-year-old averaged 18.6 points on 38.9% shooting from deep for what was ultimately his final season with the Trail Blazers. His role in Memphis is unclear, to say the least. The Grizzlies drafted Cameron Boozer, traded for Isaiah Stewart, and have $17.5 million per year tied up in Santi Aldama.

Isaiah Stewart Gets Traded to Grizzlies

Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday. Stewart will make his way to Memphis in exchange for three future second-round picks. There has been speculation for weeks that Stewart could be moved as part of a cost-cutting decision. The expectation is that Paul Reed will slide into his role behind primary center Jalen Duren. The Pistons could potentially add another forward or center on a cheaper deal in free agency. As for Stewart, he should play significant minutes off the bench as the backup to Zach Edey. This past season, Stewart averaged 10.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks across 22.7 minutes per game in 58 contests with the Pistons last season. The assumption is that his value should increase with the move to Memphis.

Pelicans Emerge as Potential Front-Runner to Trade for Ja Morant

The New Orleans Pelicans have emerged as a potential front-runner to trade for point guard Ja Morant, with the Minnesota Timberwolves also interested, The Athletic's Sam Amick said on FanDuel TV's Run It Back. Minnesota would likely have to move a significant salary to make a deal work, leaving New Orleans as the cleaner potential landing spot for the two-time All-Star, who is owed about $87 million over the next two seasons. Morant's market cooled after a 20-game, injury-marred campaign, but the Pelicans would be betting that a change of scenery revives him next to Zion Williamson. The fantasy fallout would hit the New Orleans backcourt: starting guard Dejounte Murray could be moved in a deal, while Jeremiah Fears would see his path to lead-guard reps narrow behind Morant. Morant's upside is real, but so is the availability risk that travels with him.

Ja Morant Looms as a Plan B in the Post-Giannis Market

Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant's trade market has quieted, but Memphis is hopeful he becomes a Plan B for whichever team misses on Giannis Antetokounmpo, The Athletic's Sam Amick reports. The Heat reportedly have serious interest and could reset an otherwise soft market, while Sacramento has been willing to take Morant only with extra draft assets attached. The two-time All-Star is owed $87 million over the next two seasons, and his value has slipped after a 20-game campaign that produced 19.5 points and 8.1 assists on just 41.0 percent shooting, including 23.5 percent from three. Availability, not talent, is the question, as he has played only 79 games total since the start of the 2023-24 season. A fresh start with a contender could steady his role, but Morant remains a high-variance fantasy bet whose elite assist and scoring upside come with a shaky floor.

Grizzlies Keep Kentavious Caldwell-Pope on a $21.6 Million Option

ESPN's Shams Charania reports that Memphis Grizzlies guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is exercising his $21.6 million player option for 2026-27. The 33-year-old returns on the final year of the deal he signed with Orlando in 2024, having landed in Memphis last June in the Desmond Bane trade. Right pinky surgery in February ended his season early, and he averaged 8.4 points, 2.7 assists and 2.5 rebounds across 51 games while shooting just 31.6 percent from three, well below his 36.5 percent career mark. The opt-in itself does little for fantasy, since Caldwell-Pope is a low-usage 3-and-D piece on a retooling team. The decision worth tracking is whether Memphis keeps him, trades him or eventually explores a buyout, which could clear backcourt minutes for Cam Spencer and the rest of the young guard group.

Phoenix Shows No Interest in Grizzlies' Ja Morant

Ja Morant's trade market lost a rumored landing spot, as the Phoenix Suns have no interest in pursuing the Memphis Grizzlies guard this offseason, ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel reports. Sources cited Phoenix's reluctance to make a drastic roster change and to absorb the $87 million left on Morant's deal. The Suns instead keep their backcourt of Devin Booker and Jalen Green, the latter looking to bounce back after injuries limited him to 32 games. Morant (elbow) remains widely expected to be moved after missing Memphis's final 40 games with a sprained left UCL and feuding with the organization. For fantasy purposes, his value is hard to pin down: a healthy Morant is a top-tier source of points and assists, but the looming trade, the injury, and an unsettled role leave his 2026-27 outlook among the league's biggest question marks.

Cedric Coward Aims to Improve Ball-Handling Ability

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Cedric Coward is focused on improving his ball-handling ability. "The biggest thing is my handle and showing that I'm a primary ball handler," Coward told Mark Medina of R.org in an interview. "I have it. But we had a lot of point guards last year. So I wasn't able to show quite as much. But at the end of the day, that is something that I've been working on." The 22-year-old averaged 13.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 2.8 assists during his first year in the Association, earning a spot on the NBA All-Rookie First Team. As Coward develops his playmaking abilities, his assist numbers should naturally rise, increasing his fantasy value.

Ja Morant Trade Talks Likely to Resume

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (elbow) is expected to be shopped again this offseason as the franchise continues its rebuild, with league executives believing a deal remains possible despite recent struggles. Morant played just 20 games this season before being shut down with a UCL sprain and averaged 19.5 points on 41.0 percent shooting, a dip from his All-Star peak. His uncertain situation adds risk in dynasty formats, while Memphis' youth movement could boost roles for players like GG Jackson II and Santi Aldama if the roster fully resets.

Jahmai Mashack • SF • Grizzlies

Jahmai Mashack Ready to Return Vs. Denver

Memphis Grizzlies guard Jahmai Mashack (concussion) is available for Wednesday's game against Denver after missing the last two contests while in the league's concussion protocol. The rookie second-round pick could return to a rotation role, especially with Memphis short on healthy guards. Over his last five appearances, Mashack averaged 8.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 1.4 steals across 26.2 minutes, giving him some deep-league appeal for defensive stats. His return could slightly trim the minutes of Walter Clayton Jr., Adama Bal, and Dariq Whitehead in the backcourt rotation.

Rayan Rupert • SG • Grizzlies

Rayan Rupert Held Out Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Rayan Rupert will not play Wednesday against Denver as the team manages his availability under his two-way contract. Rupert also sat out the previous game, though he remains eligible for Memphis' final two regular-season contests. He showed intriguing upside earlier this month with 33 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, and four steals across 39 minutes against Milwaukee, making him a speculative deep-league streamer if he returns to a similar role. Dariq Whitehead and Adama Bal could continue seeing extra backcourt minutes in his absence.

Olivier-Maxence Prosper Ruled Out Vs. Nuggets

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Olivier-Maxence Prosper (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Denver after initially being listed as doubtful with right ankle soreness. With the season nearing its end, Prosper's absence opens more frontcourt minutes for Taylor Hendricks and Toby Okani. Hendricks flashed some upside in a recent start against Milwaukee with 11 points, three three-pointers, four rebounds, and four steals in 13 minutes, making him a speculative deep-league streamer. Taj Gibson could also see spot minutes to help on the glass. Okani could also see deeper-league streaming appeal if the minutes hold.

Ty Jerome • PG • Grizzlies

Ty Jerome Remains Out Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ty Jerome (ankle) will remain on the shelf against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night. He has been ruled out for a ninth consecutive game. Jerome is nursing a left ankle sprain, and considering the Grizzlies' situation, it wouldn't be surprising if he sat out the final week of regular-season action. Javon Small (thigh) and Cam Spencer (back) also won't be part of the rotation against Denver. Lucas Williamson and Adama Bal had a huge workload in Monday's loss against Cleveland and could feature heavily again. Walter Clayton Jr., who recorded his first career double-double with 10 points and 11 assists on Monday, is another player benefiting from the backcourt injuries.
