Ja Morant's Grizzlies had some secrets shared with the public during Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane's hilarious podcast session.

Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Zach Edey were among several players discussing how the Grizzlies have to adapt against playoff contenders.

Memphis faces San Antonio for a Western Conference matchup Friday. The teams match up Friday for the first time this season.

The NBA All-Star Game starters have been chosen, and now it falls to NBA coaches — or the assistants they pawn this off on — to select the reserves for each conference. Those coaches must vote for two guards, three frontcourt players, and two wildcards — seven players total from each conference. Their choices will be announced next Thursday.

Ja Morant and Zach Edey put the exclamation marks on the Memphis Grizzlies' win in San Antonio, but Luke Kennard and Desmond Bane had their say, too.

Victor Wembanyama was a -170 favorite when ... We'll use 2022-23's DPOY race as an example: As the season progressed, with Jaren Jackson Jr. having been a big favorite, his odds had a minus ...

When Wembanyama is on the court, the Spurs have a top-six defense in the league, despite having some players opponents clearly target. When he is off the court, that rapidly falls to the 24th-ranked defense (overall that leaves the Spurs 12th in the league defensively, in the middle of the pack).

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. was a key factor in the Grizzlies ... to carry the offensive load against Spurs center Victor Wembanyama. The Frenchman is a defensive stalwart ...

The story, as Buford tells it, goes like this: Claudio Crippa, an international scout for the Spurs, proposed going to see a youth game before checking out Doumbouya. Buford saw Wembanyama play for the first time that day. And the seeds for the Spurs’ new master plan were immediately planted.
