Due to Ja Morant’s suspension, the Memphis Grizzlies obtained a roster exemption, allowing them to enlist the services of veteran center Bismack Biyombo.

Given Biyombo’s stellar performance, it is highly likely that the Grizzlies will retain him on the team. Consequently, when Morant makes his return, the Grizzlies will need to make an additional roster adjustment to accommodate both players.

Anticipated to release Lofton, the Grizzlies may opt to part with the promising young big man if they cannot secure a trade that opens up a roster spot. This presents a challenging situation for Lofton, as despite displaying glimpses of talent at both the NBA and G-League levels, he has struggled to consistently secure a spot in the rotation, even amidst Memphis’ injury challenges.
