Overview

  • Morant remains under contract through 2027-28 as Memphis continues to field calls without a bidding war forming.
  • HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto reported the Grizzlies sought Milwaukee’s 2031 or 2032 first-round pick and Ryan Rollins in talks, with additional salaries needed to match.
  • A viral post claiming Morant had been dealt to the Bucks originated from parody account NBACentel and was false.
  • League chatter depicts measured interest: the Heat are protecting future flexibility, the Kings, Raptors and Pelicans are monitoring, and the Bucks are seeking help but have told teams Giannis Antetokounmpo is not available, per ESPN.
  • Grizzlies coach Tuomas Iisalo said there is a good chance Morant plays Sunday against the Magic in London after completing a full practice.
