Grizzlies PR: Status Update: GG Jackson II and DeJon Jarreau are available tonight at Charlotte. Ty Jerome and Rayan Rupert (Two-Way Transfer) are out.

With reports the NBA may be exploring expansion for the 2028-29 season, everyone has a take on the top cities as rumors were rampant. Some basketball pundits have suggested Nashville as a franchise location. However, Nashville Predators majority owner Bill Haslam has no immediate plans to make that happen. "We're not actively bidding on anything," Predators CEO Sean Henry, speaking on behalf of Haslam, told The Tennesseean on March 19. "Those are just rumors."

Henry said there hasn't been talks between Haslam and the Grizzlies. "As far as any conversations with Memphis or the Grizzlies, that's not happened," Henry said. "I think Memphis is the right place for the Grizzlies to play and I hope they stay there forever."
Matt Infield: Cedric Coward with a golden answer on Taj Gibson. "He's not old, but older...for this team he's older." A player we'll keep anonymous in the background: "Taj is old as f**k." ???? But reminded the young guys he's in tune by hitting someone with a "pause" ????

[Charania] A lot of “chatter” about the Minnesota Timberwolves to be the team to be moved to the Eastern Conference in the event of a two-team expansion. Memphis and New Orleans will have “a case” as well.

Grizzlies PR: Status Update: Cedric Coward, Taj Gibson and GG Jackson II are out tonight vs. Boston. Rayan Rupert (Two-Way Transfer) also is out.

Grizzlies PR: Status Update: Cedric Coward (Personal Reasons) is questionable tonight vs. Boston.

Draymond Green: Man, can you imagine, though, for players in the Western Conference? You get Vegas and Seattle. Meanwhile, the East picks up Minnesota and Memphis. Man, that’s a drastic change. Guys in the West, you are ecstatic. Like, yo, you get trips to Vegas and Seattle now, as opposed to going to Minnesota more than once, or going to Memphis more than once. And just do Memphis—do everybody a favor—and move that team to Nashville. There are no great hotels in Memphis. I love the people of Memphis. They are incredible. Shout out to the people of Memphis. I love them. But just from an NBA standpoint, man, there’s not a sauna or a hot tub in sight. Nowhere. Not at the gym, not at a spa, not at a hotel—nothing. Not in sight. So the NBA either needs to send that team to Nashville so they can have proper facilities, or, even better, the NBA should make it mandatory that teams have at least a hot tub and cold tub, but probably also a sauna, in their visiting locker room.”

Draymond Green: Just going on to Nashville. Shout out to the owners. Don't charge them a relocation fee. They just going up the street and doing all us a favor. So, let's not charge Adam. Joe, I know you're on the competition committee. Joe Lacob. Um, let's not charge them a relocation fee. Please. Let them just do all Let them just do us all a favor and take the team to Nashville. No pro, no harm, no foul. The relocation fee, you got to leave that arena that I'm sure they own. Relocation fee, it's a swap. You leave that arena. You ain't got to pay the relocation fee. Go to Nashville. Do us all a favor, Adam. Nobody will be upset. Not one person will be upset. So GP said uh young GP GP2 my teammate GP said uh he'd request a trade immediately if if had a chance to play as a Seattle SuperSonic. I bet he would.

Katy Winge: Aaron Gordon is listed as OUT for tonight’s game against Memphis. Right hamstring injury management.

Draymond Green says NBA should relocate Grizzlies to Nashville: There’s no great hotels in Memphis. I love the people but from a NBA standpoint there’s not sauna or hot tub in site. No where. Not at the gym, not at the spa, not at a hotel, nothing. So the NBA either needs to send them to Nashville so they can have proper facilities or it should be mandatory that teams have at least a hot or cold tub in their visiting locker rooms. Get Memphis the hell out of Memphis and send them to Nashville… Do us all a favor Adam. Nobody will be upset. Not one person.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Scotty Pippen Jr. and forward Santi Aldama will miss the rest of the season after each had surgery on Tuesday. Pippen had an operation on his right big toe and Aldama had a procedure and injection to address discomfort in his right knee. The team said both procedures were successful and the players will be ready for next season.

After an ankle injury sidelined him for two weeks, Smart returned and Memphis went 10-2 in its next 12 games before he suffered a partial tear of the proximal extensor hood of his right index finger. Around this time, Smart says, he felt a shift in how the Grizzlies organization treated him. He says he felt pressured to play through it. "I wanted to be 100%, to give everything I got," Smart said. "As I'm still working out and getting ready, they're just like, 'No, your doctor said you're ready now.' And I'm like, 'I hear what my doctor said, but ... it's how I feel. Yes, surgically the finger is fine. But physically, no. The finger is still weak. I'm still strengthening it. This is my dominant hand.' So, they didn't want to hear it and they just kept saying, 'You need to play.'"
