Grizzlies Reportedly Open to Trading Ja Morant

On Jan 9, 2026, ESPN reported the Memphis Grizzlies are entertaining offers to potentially move two-time All-Star Ja Morant before the Feb. 5 NBA trade deadline.
Ja Morant's availability has been limited this season, missing 19 of 37 games due to injuries and suspensions, and sources say he told others he isn't playing for Memphis anymore.
Stat lines this season show Ja Morant averaging 19 points and 7.6 assists in 28.3 minutes with 40.1% FG and 20.8% 3P; Memphis holds nine first-round picks and Morant’s contract runs through 2027-28 with extension eligibility.
Multiple teams are pursuing Morant, and rival executives say Memphis could seek draft picks and young players while pivoting to Jaren Jackson Jr. and emerging talents like Zach Edey and Cam Spencer.
A trade would end Ja Morant's seven-year tenure in Memphis, and with his availability metric below 60 games pace, it marks a notable shift from Zach Kleiman, Memphis general manager's previous stance.
