Grizzlies Face Former Stars | Memphis Grizzlies News

The Grizzlies are primed for drama as they face former stars Jaren Jackson Jr. and Ja Morant in high-stakes matchups — with wing Jaylen Wells leading the charge, calling it a “show” for fans and reflecting on how both players shaped his career. After trading Jackson to the Jazz and Morant to the Blazers, Memphis kicks off the season at home against Jackson, marking his first return since the trade — and later faces Morant’s team in Portland. Both veterans were franchise cornerstones: Jackson, a Defensive Player of the Year and All-Star, and Morant, an All-NBA pick and MVP contender. Now sidelined by team decisions, their return ignites rivalry narratives. With Cameron Boozer drafted as the new face of the franchise, Wells is ready to rise to the occasion — and the spotlight — in these emotional, must-watch games.
