ESPN Sources: Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams is likely to miss the postseason with his injured right knee. Adams, who underwent a stem cell injection a month ago, has been out with a PCL sprain since late January.

The Memphis Grizzlies are waiving guard Kennedy Chandler, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Surprising release of the rookie 20-year-old who was on long-term deal. Kennedy will receive strong interest on league's waivers and open market.

The Grizzlies are signing two-way F/C Kenny Lofton Jr. to a standard NBA contract, making the G League Rookie of the Year eligible for the playoffs, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Lofton averaged 20.2 points, 10.4 rebounds and 4 assists for the Grizzlies' Hustle affiliate.

He should have played another year at Louisiana Tech but the talent is there & he just needs to get his conditioning in place & he can be a very good player. The Pels should have signed him after he went undrafted.

a juice fast a few days a month. he's fatter than people say zion is.

now with bigs Adams and clarke out he gets to save the grizzlies bacon.
aldama has an injured elbow too.

they are screwed. from penthouse to outhouse.
he's not the defender Clarke is.

Chandler is interesting.
2nd round rookie got paid like a late first.
gone.

I know nothing about him. Is he a guy that could help our team with Jose out?

Probably not. Not anymore than Kira and Dyson at this point. He's probably valuable to someone who can sign him and develop him for next season and beyond.

k lofton jr started at center for the memphis scrubs. 42 and 14 in 40 minutes debut as starter. how nice for him.

I'd like to see if he or Roddy can defend zion.
I think Roddy could pick him up way outside.
