    Herrington: With Brandon Clarke out, Grizzlies closing stretch gets rockier

    “With 11 games to play as the Grizzlies get ready to face Utah on Tuesday night, the team currently just below the NBA’s ‘play-in’ line. These are precarious times and have just grown more so.”

    Herrington: Ja Morant hit the road and brought home a new mood

    Basketball players, like other humans, are complex, and maybe Morant more than most. There’s no precise formula to get the best of Morant on the floor with mood, health, on-court approach and on-court outcomes all interrelated.

    Herrington: His last shot rolled out, but maybe Ja Morant is rounding into form

    Ja Morant’s last shot missed, costing the Grizzlies the game against New York. But he had 25 points and seven assists in this one. It was 29 and eight against Phoenix. It was 21 and 10 in a close loss to Cleveland. And 23 and five in the win at Orlando.

    Herrington: After trade deadline, Grizzlies playoff team is ‘on the floor’

    Herrington: At midseason, do the Grizzlies look like a contender?

    The Grizzlies have hit the midpoint of the NBA season, so it is time for the mid-season check-in. Are the Grizzlies a contender? How are the stars and supporting cast? How’s the system?

    Herrington: Jimmy Butler to the Grizzlies? The anatomy of a rumor.

    No evidence of Grizzlies interest in Jimmy Butler doesn’t necessarily mean there’s no interest. But if you look closely at the parameters and complications of a potential Butler deal, it still feels pretty unlikely.
