The Memphis Grizzlies are reshaping their roster after a disappointing end to their season, marked by a first-round sweep by the Oklahoma City Thunder. The team has been active in the offseason, trading Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic and acquiring Washington State forward Cedric Coward. Most notably, they've secured star Jaren Jackson Jr. with a lucrative five-year, $240 million contract extension and added former Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome with a three-year, $28 million deal.

Jackson, who was the 2023 NBA Defensive Player of the Year and a two-time All-Star, is expected to make a full recovery from a turf toe injury requiring surgery. Last season, he averaged 22.2 points per game while shooting nearly 49% from the field.
