The Memphis Grizzlies' 2024-25 season has been marked by persistent struggles, echoing their disappointing performance from the previous year. With the team's star guard Ja Morant sidelined by injuries, Memphis found it hard to maintain momentum, ultimately finishing in the Play-In Tournament as the eighth seed. Despite a promising start to the season, their playoff run was abruptly halted by a sweep at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Off the court, significant changes loom, including the firing of head coach Taylor Jenkins, who was let go with just nine games left in the season while the Grizzlies were in a playoff position. The future of key players like Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. is now uncertain, as trade rumors swirl around the franchise. General manager Zach Kleiman's candid remarks regarding the team's lack of progress highlight the need for a substantive re-evaluation of their roster and strategy moving forward.
