After falling short of expectations in yet another playoff run, the Memphis Grizzlies have spent the offseason restocking their squad.
The front management caused a stir when they parted ways with longtime franchise cornerstone and crucial guard Desmond Bane, a move that hinted at a new path.
The club bolstered its depth in the backcourt surrounding Ja Morant, who is expected to return to full health next season, through the draft as well.
As they seek to free up salary cap space and give younger players more playing time, the Grizzlies have demonstrated that they will continue to make moves despite the adjustments.
The Memphis Grizzlies continued their busy offseason on Sunday by trading for yet another experienced player.
The Grizzlies and the Indiana Pacers have finalized the trade of center Jay Huff, who was acquired by the Grizzlies in a deal that included a future second-round pick and a second-round pick swap.
Huff, who joined the Memphis Grizzlies last season, contributed to the team’s success in limited action because to his size and ability to spread the field.
In a post on X that followed the news, the team expressed their gratitude for his work.
The Grizzlies’ tweet was shared to Ja Morant’s account, indicating that the gesture was noticed by him as well.
Morant subtly acknowledged Huff’s presence in the locker room and the valuable role he performed throughout the difficult season with a quiet nod.
During last season, Huff and Morant were teammates. Huff was lauded for his dependable reserve play during frontcourt injury situations.
With a 51.5% field goal percentage, the big man averaged 6.9 points and 2.0 rebounds throughout that time.
