The Memphis Grizzlies had a good season that ended in cruel disappointment last year. They were tied for the eighth seed in the Western Conference. However, they lost a play-in game to the Portland Trail Blazers in the last moments. Ja Morant was the best player for the Grizzlies and had a wonderful season. Morant won NBA Rookie of the Year for his excellent performances.

It will be interesting to see how the Memphis Grizzlies perform in the upcoming NBA season. Their lack of movement during free agency and after the lifting of the trade moratorium could come back to haunt them. However, they have a talented roster with a star player in Ja Morant who can help them get out of the slump they have been in recent years.
The Grizzlies kick off the 2020-21 NBA season by facing the San Antonio Spurs on the 23 December, 2020.
