Taylor Hendricks Traded to Grizzlies, Expected to See Increased Role

Taylor Hendricks was acquired by the Memphis Grizzlies from the Utah Jazz on Tuesday in a major trade. Memphis received Hendricks, Walter Clayton, Kyle Anderson, Georges Niang (foot), and three future first-round picks, sending Jaren Jackson, Vince Williams, John Konchar, and Jock Landale to Utah. Hendricks, a young forward with upside, was used sparingly by the Jazz, averaging 4.9 points and 3.0 rebounds in 14.9 minutes over 33 games. With Memphis's limited frontcourt depth and commitment to a rebuild, he is expected to see an increased role and is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings.
