Grizzlies Reset Roster for 2026-27 After Morant, Aldama, KCP Depart
newsroom · 27 min agoThe Grizzlies are 0-0 heading into 2026-27, with the regular-season opener set for October 21 against Utah. Memphis reshaped its roster after losing Ja Morant, Santi Aldama, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Rayan Rupert. A crowded injury list, mostly Day-To-Day, has several projected rotation pieces working back before the opener.
A Different Roster
Memphis opens 2026-27 without Ja Morant, Santi Aldama, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Rayan Rupert. Morant is now with the Trail Blazers, Aldama with the Mavericks, and both Caldwell-Pope and Rupert are with the 76ers. The roster for the new season includes D'Angelo Russell, Jerami Grant, Ty Jerome, Isaiah Stewart, Taylor Hendricks, Taj Gibson, Cameron Boozer, Karim Lopez, Quinten Post and Olivier-Maxence Prosper, alongside holdovers Jaylen Wells, Zach Edey, Cedric Coward, Cam Spencer, Kris Murray, GG Jackson, Jahmai Mashack, Scotty Pippen Jr., AJ Johnson, Javon Small, Walter Clayton Jr. and Richie Saunders. It's a full re-tool at guard, forward and center at once, with the season still to be played.
Last Season by the Numbers
Memphis went 25-57 last season, with a net rating of -6.0 built on a 112.4 offensive rating and a 118.4 defensive rating. The Grizzlies scored 114.7 points per game at a pace of 101.7, shooting 53.3 effective field-goal percentage and a 57.0 true shooting percentage. Those numbers describe the team fans saw in 2025-26, not this season's group, since Memphis is 0-0 with the opener still ahead. Jerami Grant led the scoring at 18.6 points a game in 57 appearances, shooting 38.9 percent from three. Jaylen Wells played the most of the group at 69 games, averaging 12.5 points. Zach Edey, in just 11 games, grabbed 11.1 rebounds a night with a plus/minus of 10.3, the best mark among the team's regulars.
More Returning Production
Cedric Coward averaged 13.6 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists across 62 games last season, shooting 33.8 percent from three. Cam Spencer hit 44.9 percent from three while averaging 11.1 points and 5.6 assists over 72 games. Isaiah Stewart added 10.0 points and 5.0 rebounds in 58 games, and Ty Jerome, in a 15-game sample, put up 19.7 points and 5.7 assists while shooting 42.0 percent from three. Kris Murray averaged 5.8 points and 3.6 rebounds over 57 games, Jahmai Mashack chipped in 6.2 points over 31 games, and GG Jackson scored 12.5 points a night across 55 games. All of it comes from 2025-26; none of these numbers are from the season now underway.
Injury Report Before the Opener
Memphis has a full trainer's room heading toward opening night. Jaylen Wells (right toe), Zach Edey (left ankle), Scotty Pippen Jr. (right toe), Walter Clayton Jr. (right knee) and Karim Lopez (undisclosed) are all listed Day-To-Day, with an estimated return date of October 1 for that group. Richie Saunders is Out with a right knee injury and isn't expected back until December 1. That group spans guards, forwards and a center, which will shape how the rotation looks in the preseason schedule leading into the October 21 opener against Utah.
The Schedule Ahead
Memphis's next games start in the preseason: October 5 at Atlanta, October 7 at home against Orlando, October 9 at Chicago and October 16 at home against Charlotte, all preseason contests. The regular-season opener follows on October 21 at FedExForum against Utah, the start of an 80-game schedule that includes 4 national TV appearances. With the Grizzlies sitting at 0-0 and no seed yet to speak of, the preseason slate is the first look at how the reshaped roster fits together before it counts.
