Hello! In like two minutes, @DannyLeroux and I will be going live! We’re going to do a second NBA Trade Deadline primer, chatting about what you need to know heading into the next month of player movement.
But first, we’re going to start with Ja Morant.

Edwards again picks up two fouls in the first quarter, just like in Dallas. And just like in Dallas, Finch is leaving him in. – 7:22 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
Really liked KAT shooting 9 3s in Dallas. Maybe one or two of them rushed, but he’s gotta get that volume up. Good carryover early tonight – 7:17 PM
Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Jenkins said Ja Morant delivered a message to the team this morning and encouraged his teammates to keep pushing forward this season. – 7:11 PM
Tim MacMahon @espn_macmahon
Taylor Jenkins describes the Grizzlies as “gutted” by the news that Ja Morant needs surgery. Morant is with team in Dallas and spoke in Memphis’ morning meeting. The hope is that he will still travel with Grizzlies after his surgery although he won’t be able to practice or play. – 7:08 PM
Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Taylor Jenkins said Jaren Jackson Jr. is trending towards being out tonight. – 7:08 PM
Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Taylor Jenkins said that he learned Ja Morant was done for the season when the team landed in Memphis. He said the team is devastated for him. He said it came as a surprise. – 7:04 PM
Dallas Mavericks PR @MavsPR
Luka Dončić (right ankle swelling) and Grant Williams (right ankle sprain) will be AVAILABLE tonight against the Grizzlies.
Dereck Lively II (left ankle sprain), Dante Exum (right plantar sprain) and Maxi Kleber (right small toe dislocation) will be OUT. – 6:51 PM
Mark Deeks @MarkDeeksNBA
Back on @hoopshype after nine years away to talk about how the Memphis Grizzlies can use a Disabled Player Exception to offset the loss of Ja Morant, and also why they probably won’t.

Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
The night before his MRI, Ja Morant celebrated with his teammates inside Footprint Center. He laughed & smiled.
Morant helped the Grizzlies find their joy this season. Here’s to hoping he keeps finding his own despite the adversity he now faces.

Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
I’d love Marcus Smart on the Kings. Memphis paid a pretty hefty price for him, so he wouldn’t be cheap.
I’d target Alex Caruso first if I was Sacramento. But I’m definitely calling the Grizzlies. – 2:50 PM
