The Memphis Grizzlies are keeping Ja Morant past the trade deadline, with interest around the league in the star guard characterized as lukewarm.
Morant has been the focal point of Memphis’ roster construction, and the lack of strong traction on the market means the Grizzlies will continue with him in place rather than pursuing a deadline move.
With the deadline passing without a Morant deal, Memphis’ immediate direction remains centered on its current core and the guard’s role within it.
