The Memphis Grizzlies will keep Ja Morant past the NBA trade deadline. Despite interest from other teams, no serious offers materialized for the All-Star guard, who is currently sidelined with a knee injury. His unavailability and recent struggles contributed to the lack of interest. The team had been taking calls on Morant since January, but a trade never materialized.

Morant has battled injuries and suspensions, playing only 79 games since the start of the 2023-24 season. His stats this season are career-worsts, with a 41.0% field goal percentage. The team recently acquired three first-round picks in a separate trade. With Morant staying, the Grizzlies appear to be re-evaluating their plans.

Morant, who has two years and $87 million remaining on his contract after this season, expressed his desire to remain in Memphis. He has a tattoo of the Grizzlies' logo. The team could explore potential trades for Morant again this summer, depending on how his recovery and performance progresses.

The trade deadline often brings surprising moves, but the Grizzlies' situation remained static. The team's front office will now focus on the rest of the season and potential offseason strategies. The Grizzlies are likely hoping for a healthy Morant to return and lead the team.
