The move
Yuri Collins, a 25-year-old guard entering his second season, is off the Memphis Grizzlies roster. The change was detected in the club's official roster listing on Sunday, September 27. No report preceded the move, and none has been logged with a source or confidence level. Why he is off the roster is not announced.
The money
Collins' contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing or a release by a day. Memphis carries a payroll of $161.1 million across 22 contracts for 2026-27, which puts the club under the $165.0 million salary cap. The Grizzlies also sit below the $200.4 million tax line, the $209.0 million first apron and the $221.7 million second apron.
The fit
Collins has no NBA line on file from last season. Memphis' backcourt was led last season by Ja Morant, who played 28.4 minutes and scored 19.4 points a game, with Toby Okani (36.2 minutes, 10.0 points) and Lucas Williamson (32.0 minutes, 10.4 points) also logging regular minutes. The Grizzlies now list 21 players on the roster, against a standard limit of 15 plus three two-way spots.
