The Memphis Grizzlies' postseason run concluded with a 4-0 sweep by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs. Despite the early exit, Grizzlies star Ja Morant remained defiant during his exit interview, suggesting that the series outcome could have been different had he not suffered a hip injury in Game 3.

As Ja Morant’s Memphis Grizzlies regroup from a first-round playoff sweep at the hands of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s near-perfect Oklahoma City Thunder, EVP Zach Kleiman faces a pivotal offseason to elevate the franchise from perennial playoff hopeful to bona fide championship contender.

Following Grizzlies' disappointing season, a Ja Morant trade could take place this summer, according to ESPN Tim McMahon.
