The move
Eric Dixon, a 25-year-old forward entering his rookie season, is no longer listed on the Memphis Grizzlies roster. The change was detected from the team's official roster on Sunday, Sep 27. No report preceded the move; none is logged for Dixon ahead of this roster change. The Grizzlies now list 21 players on their roster, within the standard limit of 15 plus three two-way spots.

The money
Dixon's contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing by a day, so his cap hit and any years are not available. The Grizzlies carry a payroll of $161.1 million across 22 contracts for 2026-27, putting them under the salary cap of $165.0 million. Memphis sits well below the luxury tax line of $200.4 million, the first apron at $209.0 million, and the second apron at $221.7 million. The team has room to add or retain players without tax concerns.
The fit
Dixon has no NBA line from last season. The Grizzlies' rotation last season featured Ja Morant at 28.4 minutes and 19.4 points, Jaren Jackson Jr. at 30.7 minutes and 19.2 points, and Santi Aldama at 27.9 minutes and 14.0 points, with Dariq Whitehead, Rayan Rupert, Adama Bal, Toby Okani and Lucas Williamson also logging 30-plus minutes in rotation roles. Memphis now carries 21 players on its roster, within the standard limit of 15 plus three two-way slots, as it sorts out its depth without Dixon.
