Early thoughts on Santi Aldama, Ja Morant's defense and Steven Adams' contract extension
The early reviews are coming in on the 2022-23 Memphis Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies won their first two preseason games with different players stepping up each time. In the first game against the Milwaukee Bucks, rookies Jake LaRavia, David Roddy, Kennedy Chandler and Kenneth Lofton Jr. each shined. Santi Aldama and Ja Morant combined for 43 points in a win against the Orlando Magic on Monday.
Off the court news is filing in, too. Steven Adams signed a two-year contract extension, and the clock is ticking on a possible deal with Brandon Clarke before the deadline.
Sports reporter Evan Barnes and Grizzlies beat writer Damichael Cole discuss all of the latest news on the Grizzlies podcast and look ahead to the upcoming preseason stretch.
