Ja Morant’s rocky tenure with the Grizzlies could be coming to an end soon.
The Grizzlies are “entertaining offers to potentially move” Morant ahead of the Feb. 5 trade deadline, according to ESPN.
It’s the first time that Memphis has at least listened to potential deals, the outlet added, and multiple teams are reportedly interested.
At his best on the court, Morant is a two-time All-Star who won Rookie of the Year in 2019-20, earned Most Improved Player honors in 2021-22 and guided the Grizzlies to playoff appearances in four of the last five seasons.
But the 26-year-old’s NBA career has also been filled with off-the-court drama, as he was suspended twice for incidents involving social media and videos where he flashed firearms.
Morant was also suspended one game in November for criticizing the Grizzlies’ coaching staff in an interview following a loss.
During that same month, The Athletic reported that the Timberwolves and Kings could emerge as suitors for Morant.
