Grizzlies Dismiss Head Coach Taylor Jenkins With Nine Games Left in Season

The team parts ways with its winningest coach in franchise history despite being tied for fourth in the Western Conference.

Taylor Jenkins, head coach of the Memphis Grizzlies since 2019, has been fired after six seasons with the team.
The decision comes as the Grizzlies are tied for fourth place in the Western Conference with nine regular-season games remaining.
Jenkins, who holds a 250-214 record and led the team to three playoff appearances, is the winningest coach in franchise history.
The Grizzlies have faced significant challenges this season, including injuries to key players Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr., impacting their recent performance.
Grizzlies President Zach Kleiman acknowledged the difficulty of the decision, citing Jenkins' contributions to the team's growth and success.
