Day 6 -- Memphis Grizzlies Ja Morant era is over, and no players remain from the lone playoff series Memphis won with M Via @LawMurrayTheNU on X

What happened: The Grizzlies traded Ja Morant on June 29 after seven seasons. Their preferred starting center still needs to get healthy.

Why it matters: The overhaul puts pressure on a new hierarchy to settle before opening night. Any delay at center could force an early reshuffle of frontcourt minutes.

What to watch: Watch which combinations stabilize around the new hierarchy during preparations for 2026-27.
