Memphis Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins cited a lack of discipline; Santi Aldama is upset about the energy. It all adds up to bad losses.

The under-construction Memphis Grizzlies were getting tested by Kevin Durant’s Phoenix Suns once again in the FedEx Forum’s first post-NBA All-Star break game. Ja Morant was 0-8 from the field in the first half yet still found a way to force overtime before sealing a 151-148 home win.

In a closely fought battle between the Memphis Grizzlies and Cleveland Cavaliers, rebounding was the big difference.

Ja Morant tips the steal to Santi Aldama, who then throws a long pass to Morant for a powerful slam dunk.

It’s likely why one Milwaukee Bucks deal – an exchange of MarJon Beauchamp for Kevin Porter Jr. – garnered little attention on a basketball level. That is until about two weeks later, when Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo broadly grinned and hailed the acquisition of Porter.

Aldama is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Spurs. The Grizzlies are tweaking their frontcourt for this matchup and Aldama will get the nod at power forward, meaning Jaren Jackson will start at center and Zach Edey will run with the second unit.

With Victor Wembanyama shelved for the rest of the season, Jaren Jackson Jr. is now the clubhouse leader for Defensive Player of the Year honors. He hit the weekend at -120 on BetMGM, and he’ll be brawling in the paint against the other main contender in Evan Mobley (+120).

Jaylen Wells has emerged as a key player for the Grizzlies, and coach Taylor Jenkins believes there is plenty to like about the rookie.
