Ty Jerome: “I don’t think it needs to be too much of the rah-rah speech stuff. I think the good thing about this group, even though they’re young, is we got a really mature group. So, everyone will look in the mirror, starts with myself and everyone will look in the mirror and see how we need to improve. And tomorrow we’ll all come in the building and see what we need to improve on from the game and we’ll get better together.”

Damichael Cole: Entertaining hoops tonight. That was a battle. Memphis fell 135-134 in overtime against the Pelicans. Ty Jerome was terrific down the stretch. He scored 40. Zion Williamson had 25. Grizz-Pacers on Wednesday

Micah Nori: “It was Donovan’s foul trouble, but I think the one thing we talk about the depth, and I actually kicking myself from the Memphis game, I thought that, you know, probably should have gave Yang Hansen a look, especially when they were big. He has earned that right, he has deserved that right, and that is on me, and I told him that after the game and that was my fault that I didn’t get him in the Memphis game. But I thought tonight we stayed with him, even when they went small for a little bit, got his hands on a couple deflections there, again with the five rebounds, had a really nice assist when we needed a bucket.”

Cameron Boozer is the youngest player to post a triple-double since Josh Giddey in 2021-22, doing it in a 124-103 win over the Trail Blazers.

Cameron Boozer on Tuesday had 18 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists to become the second-youngest player in NBA history to record a triple-double. Josh Giddey was 19 days younger than Boozer when he recorded a triple-double with Oklahoma City in 2022. “Took him long enough,” Memphis coach Tuomas Iisalo deadpanned. “Fifth game already …” What tickled Iisalo about Boozer’s performance was that it came on the heels of two struggles: a 5-of-20 shooting night in Sacramento and a 4-of-12 night in Utah. He likened the past two games to Boozer being thrown into the deep end and asked to swim. Then on Thursday, he glided with the skill, grace and force of a veteran. “That’s what he is showing: consistent ability to keep learning and improving within the season,” Iisalo said.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Ja Morant exited his first game against his former team in the fourth quarter Thursday night because of a left hamstring injury. Morant had 14 points and three assists in 23 minutes before exiting and being ruled out of the Trail Blazers' 124-103 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. Coach Micah Nori said postgame that Morant felt a twinge in his hamstring and that Nori hoped to have more answers Friday. "I'm hoping that it's nothing major, obviously," Nori said.

Damichael Cole: Ty Jerome is good to go. He gave the medical staff a head nod after his workout a few minutes ago.
