News

Ja Morant has ramped up his workload with the All-Star break in the rearview, so it's likely he'll be returning to the floor for the Memphis Grizzlies, who were unable to deal him at the trade deadline. How the next few months are handled will be crucial.

The Memphis Grizzlies could be active at the NBA trade deadline even if they don't move Ja Morant since teams are going to be sniffing around for Jock Landale. Targets worth moving the 7-footer for include Suns F Oso Ighodaro and Spurs wing Jeremy Sochan.
