The AM/DM is The Daily Memphian’s weekday podcast. Listen in every morning around 6:30 a.m. to get the news you need for the day, as well as a critical — but quick — interview on a larger story.
When it comes to the Memphis Grizzlies, superstar Ja Morant isn’t the only thing up in the air.
Fan favorite Jaren Jackson Jr. was recently traded, and the team has been very clear that it wants to trade Morant — though he was still with the team at the end of the trade deadline.
Now, as the Grizzlies head into the second half of the season, their focus seems to be locked onto next season — or beyond.
In a bright spot for Memphis, NBA commissioner Adam Silver recently said team relocation is not on the table even as the league plans to expand.
Today, reporter and columnist Drew Hill is here to walk us through all these developments.
