The Memphis Grizzlies reportedly plan to trade Ja Morant this summer.
The Memphis Grizzlies are facing big questions about the future of Ja Morant. League sources, per The Athletic, say the team plans to trade the star guard during the summer, showing patience with any short-term struggles that keeping him past the trade deadline might bring.

This does not signal a sudden change in direction for the franchise, but rather a long-term plan.
Morant has been a key player for Memphis this season, averaging 19.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 8.1 assists per game.
Injuries have limited him to just 20 games, making his impact harder to sustain. Despite this, the Grizzlies sit 11th in the Western Conference with a 20-29 record.

The team already made a headline-grabbing move, trading star forward Jaren Jackson Jr. to the Utah Jazz in a blockbuster deal that included three first-round picks and several other players moving between the teams.
That deal showed the Grizzlies' willingness to reshape the roster and focus on the future.
