The Grizzlies will enter their first season since 2019-202 without Desmond Bane on the roster, and their first season since 2020-21 without the starting top-three option of Desmond Bane. His replacements will come from a collection of players, including three players who were received directly from his trade in Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Cedric Coward, and Cole Anthony.
Except Cole Anthony and the Grizzlies agreed to a contract buyout on July 12th, which was followed by his signing with the Milwaukee Bucks on July 16th. Unfortunately, some outlets didn't pick up on that, as Bleacher Report mentioned a good start to the season by Anthony would make it hard for the Grizzlies' offseason signee, Ty Jerome, to match his production from last season with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
