Overview
- Memphis is fielding proposals for Morant, with Miami and Sacramento among interested teams and Miami viewed by his camp as an appealing destination, according to multiple reports.
- Morant is traveling with the team in Europe but has been ruled out Thursday against the Magic in Berlin with a right calf contusion, leaving his status for Sunday in London uncertain.
- Practice footage from Berlin showed a heated exchange between Morant and Vince Williams Jr., while Morant publicly denied friction with coach Tuomas Iisalo and the coach cited health for his absence.
- Pressed on his future, Morant offered a brief response of “live with it” and declined to say whether he expects to remain with Memphis beyond the Feb. 5 deadline.
- League voices expect buy‑low offers as Memphis prioritizes draft picks and young players; reports also say Morant told some teammates he wouldn’t play for the Grizzlies, and he remains under contract through 2027‑28.
