The Memphis Grizzlies are trading two-time All-Star Ja Morant to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for Jerami Grant and Kris Murray.
The deal sends one of Memphis’ franchise cornerstones to Portland, where Morant joins a Trail Blazers roster continuing to reshape its core. Morant has been one of the NBA’s most dynamic guards since entering the league, earning two All-Star selections during his time with the Grizzlies.
Memphis receives Grant, an experienced forward with a proven scoring profile, along with Murray, a young forward who adds depth to the Grizzlies’ frontcourt. The move represents a significant roster shift for both teams.
Major Move for Both Franchises
For the Grizzlies, the trade marks a notable change after building around Morant as a central piece of their recent success. For the Trail Blazers, the acquisition adds a high-profile guard to their backcourt as they continue adjusting their roster direction.
