Potential Ja Morant Trade to Heat Gets Halting Update
Digest more
Grizzlies guard Ja Morant is linked to the Sacramento Kings in trade talks, but they won’t pull the trigger unless this one thing happens.
How motivated will the NBA be to investigate the injuries to star players under the CBA? We might soon find out.
The NBA hopes Morant can play when the two teams meet again in London over the weekend, but Amazon Prime's Udonis Haslem doesn't sound optimistic. During Thursday's NBA on Prime broadcast Haslem said, "When you travel with that much jewelry, you don't plan on playing."
Despite reported internal tension and trade chatter, league sources say Ja Morant's mindset in Memphis hasn't shifted and his connection to the Grizzlies remains strong.
Miami Heat unlikely to pursue Ja Morant, prioritizing cap flexibility for a loaded 2028 free-agency class, per ESPN’s Brian Windhorst.
HoopsHype has gathered the latest intel on Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr, Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, Peyton Watson, and Jonathan Kuminga.

“There’s an etiquette to being a professional” - Austin Rivers on why Ja Morant’s behavior is hurting his value
Despite the Grizzlies' declaration that they're entertaining offers for their star guard, reports indicate the market has been bleak. This lack of interest could stem from concerns about Morant's attitude and behavior on and off the court, as well as his decline in production (he's averaging 19.0 points on 40.1% shooting).
The Miami Heat found themselves labeled as the favorites to pick up Ja Morant in a blockbuster trade during the 2025-2026 NBA season. Two NBA Insiders are pushing back hard on that narrative. Do the Heat have interest in Morant? Sure. Is it overstated? Apparently, that’s the case.
