Grizzlies Down To Eight Healthy Players

Jan 13, 2024 10:48 PM

The hits keep coming for the Memphis Grizzlies. After losing Ja Morant for the season early in the week, Memphis lost Marcus Smart to a long-term finger injury. If that wasn't enough, Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr. both picked up injuries in the Grizzlies loss to the LA Clippers on Friday.

That left Memphis with just nine healthy players for their game on Saturday against the New York Knicks. Unfortunately, Jake LaRavia left that game with an injury after playing only 1:19.

The Grizzlies are now down to eight healthy players: Jacob Gilyard, G.G. Jackson, Luke Kennard, John Konchar, David Roddy, Xavier Tillman Sr., Ziaire Williams and Vince Williams Jr.

Memphis next plays on Monday, when they host the Golden State Warriors.

Grizzlies Apply For $12.4M Disabled Player Exception For Ja Morant

Jan 12, 2024 8:19 AM

The Memphis Grizzlies have applied to the NBA for a Disabled Player Exception for injured guard Ja Morant. Memphis recently announced Morant would miss the remainder of the 2023-24 season due to surgery on a torn labrum.

If approved, the Grizzlies will receive a DPE worth $12.4 million. A DPE is for the lesser of half of the disabled player's salary or the equivalent of the Non-Taxpayer Mid-Level Exception. That amount is $12.4 million this season.

Should Memphis get the DPE for Morant, they will have until March 11 to use it. The Grizzlies can use the DPE to trade for or claim off waivers one player who has only the remainder of this season (without an option) remaining on their contract and whose salary fits inside the exception. Memphis could also choose to sign one player to a rest-of-season contract for up to $12.4 million.
