Grizzlies Reportedly Open to Trading Ja Morant Amid Injury & Value Concerns

The Memphis Grizzlies are reportedly "eager to trade" Ja Morant, with general manager Zach Kleiman shifting focus to youth and assets. Morant has played just 18 games this season due to calf and ankle injuries, with the team going 6-12 in those contests, and his relationship with the organization strained after multiple suspensions. While Memphis seeks a first-round pick, his $39.4M salary this season and $86M over the next two years, coupled with lukewarm trade value feedback, present challenges. Minnesota, Miami, and Toronto have shown interest.
