That could extend to the Memphis Grizzlies and their star guard, Ja Morant. Howard Beck of The Ringer said on the "Real Ones" podcast that an unnamed NBA executive told him Morant is a name to "keep an eye on" this summer.

And that sprint will be competitive. The Grizzlies (38-16) have the fourth-toughest remaining schedule in the NBA, according to strength of record. Their first three games after the All-Star break, starting Thursday with the Indiana Pacers, will be on the road against top-seven seeds in the East.

Grizzlies general manager Zach Kleiman is shutting down any Ja Morant rumors. One day after talk emerged of Morant potentially being the next NBA superstar on the move, Kleiman called “nonsense” on any notion the guard could be leaving Memphis any time soon.
