Grizzlies Draft Picks Sit Out Summer League | Memphis Grizzlies News

Memphis Grizzlies head into Salt Lake City Summer League without two key rookies, Karim López and Walter Clayton Jr., both sidelined by minor injuries—López with a hamstring tweak and Clayton Jr. with a knee sprain. López, the first Mexican-born first-round pick ever, was traded from Detroit after a strong stint in Australia, while Clayton Jr., who set a rookie assist record last season, was acquired via trade from Utah. With both out, Cameron Boozer (third overall pick) will lead the Grizzlies’ Summer League debut against OKC, as Richie Saunders also sits out with an ACL injury. The absence opens the door for veteran players to step up, with the team shifting focus to Las Vegas for the main Summer League starting July 9.
