Inside the end of the Ja Morant era in Memphis
Morant is now the last man standing on a Grizzlies team that hopes to move on from him this summer.
www.espn.com.auJa Morant is with the Memphis Grizzlies as of now.
Here’s a quick snapshot of the latest context around his situation:
- Recent reports in January 2026 suggested Morant could be nearing a return from a right calf injury for the Grizzlies, with talks of trade interest already surfacing in the media; however, no definitive, finalized deal with another team had been confirmed at that time.[1][3]
- By spring 2026, coverage had shifted toward evaluating whether Morant would remain with Memphis beyond the season, with some outlets framing him as a central figure in potential roster moves for the Grizzlies’ offseason, but no official trade had been completed.[8][9]
