Is Orlando Magic guard Desmond Bane eager to destroy the Memphis Grizzlies after trading him in the offseason?

As we near the halfway point of the NBA season it's time to hand out grades for the middling Grizzlies. The Grizzlies have dealt with countless injuries, rumors

Memphis Grizzlies players anticipate trash talk and sparks as they face Desmond Bane for the first time since he was traded to the Orlando Magic.

Memphis has been in control throughout the first half. Cedric Coward got off to a strong start with 13 points in the first quarter. Jock Landale leads Memphis with 14 points. The Grizzlies have 14-5 advantage on free-throw attempts.

The Nets rolled out a starting lineup whose average age was younger than the five players they brought off the bench. Rookie forward Danny Wolf filled in for Michael Porter Jr., who was out for rest, and the starters struggled without their star to lean on.

NBA teams are monitoring Jaren Jackson Jr. as the Memphis Grizzlies weigh their future amid Ja Morant trade rumors.

Ja Morant's star could be shining in a new city ahead of the Feb. 5 trade deadline. The mercurial Grizzlies point guard is rumored to be on the trading block, potentially putting an end to his drama-filled tenure in Memphis.
