Memphis Grizzlies begin complete roster overhaul for 2026-27 season
Summary

The Memphis Grizzlies are set to start the 2026-27 NBA season with a completely new roster after trading away all 31 players from the previous two seasons. Key contributors like Desmond Bane, Ja Morant, and Jaren Jackson Jr. are no longer with the team, leaving a projected starting lineup that may include Ty Jerome, Jaylen Wells, Cedric Coward, Cameron Boozer, and Zach Edey. Coach Tuomas Iisalo, now in his second full season, will lead the rebuilding effort, facing questions about his long-term job security. The Grizzlies will face the Utah Jazz in their regular season opener, featuring Jackson Jr. in his first game against Memphis since being traded.
