Donovan Mitchell complimented Ja Morant's game following the Utah Jazz's 103-94 win over the Memphis Grizzlies, swapping jerseys with the point guard after the game.

Mitchell finished the game with 20 points, while Morant had 13. 

“I’m a fan. I told him that. ... Seeing that as a rookie — a guy that wants to come in and take those shots and be able to make those plays, it’s huge," said Mitchell.

Morant was recently diagnosed with back spasms and will be out on a week-to-week basis. 

Ja Morant is listed as out on a week-to-week basis due to back spasms, league sources told Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Sports.

Morant is averaging 18.6 points and 6.4 assists in his rookie season. 

Brian Windhorst said that NBA executives around the league believe that the Dallas Mavericks could trade for Andre Iguodala.

"One place is shaping up as a possibility as you talk to executives out there. That is the Dallas Mavericks," said Windhorst.

Windhorst then praised the Mavs offense, before adding how Iguodala could improve them on the defensive end.

Windhorst pointed to Courtney Lee's contract as the key to any potential deal.

"Executives believe the Mavericks are a team that we should watch when it comes to the Andre Iguodala landing spot. They have a tradable contract in Courtney Lee, and extra second-round picks they could potentially use to get Memphis interested," added Windhorst.

Windhorst then echoed the league-wide sentiment that the Grizzlies will not buy Iguodala out. 

The Memphis Grizzlies will not buy out Andre Iguodala, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

The Grizzlies are instead looking for an asset in return for Iguodala, who they acquired from the Warriors last summer.

“The message that Memphis has delivered to teams like the Lakers, Clippers and Rockets is that you’re going to have to trade for him. We are not buying him out. He will not be on the free agent market," said Wojnarowski. 

Mike Conley praised Ja Morant's playmaking ability following the Memphis Grizzlies' 107-106 win over the Utah Jazz.

Conley finished with 15 points on his return. Morant added 25 points and 8 assists for the Grizzlies.

"I just told him, 'I love your game. Just keep working. You're a special player. You're going to be here a long time' ... He's poised. He's not turning the ball over. He's making plays in traffic and doing the right things in big moments. That's special from a 20-year-old that's played only 10 games. He's got some fire in him too," said Conley of his impressions of Morant.

The game featured Conley's return to Memphis, where he was presented with a tribute video during the first timeout of the game.
