Overview
- The Miami Herald, via multiple outlets, reports early discussions between Miami and Memphis on Morant, described by a source as premature with no deal imminent.
- At a Berlin press conference, Morant offered brief comments on his future, saying he will “live with it” if moved and disputing a rift with coach Tuomas Iisalo.
- Memphis officially ruled Morant out of Thursday’s Berlin game with a right calf contusion, though Iisalo said the guard is progressing in practices.
- Video from the Grizzlies’ Berlin shootaround showed a heated exchange between Morant and teammate Vince Williams Jr., adding to scrutiny of team dynamics.
- Public records show Morant bought a roughly $3.2 million home in Miami in late December, as league chatter projects a limited trade market with Memphis seeking draft capital and young players; the Kings and Bucks are also linked as suitors.
