Taylor Jenkins started coaching in a locker room that felt like a glorified janitor’s closet. Now he’s coaching the NBA’s Memphis Grizzlies.
SAN ANTONIO — Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant is unlikely to play against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday, Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins said.
Sonia Raman will join the defending champions' coaching staff and Taylor Jenkins is excited for what she will bring to the Liberty.
Every team has weak points. The goal is to not let them become fatal characteristics. Problems arise when those flaws get accentuated in clutch moments. Identifying how to negate issues before being exposed is a job for Taylor Jenkins but Ja Morant’s captivating yet inconsistent Memphis Grizzlies now know the problem: Turnovers.
Taylor Jenkins took the blame for the loss. It was nice of him to say. But the Grizzlies real problem may be their inability to handle the best in the West.
Taylor Jenkins explained why the Grizzlies went without Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, or Jaren Jackson Jr. late in a loss to the Rockets.
Jaylen Wells registered his first double-double on Monday to help lead the Grizzlies to a win over the Mavericks to snap a two-game skid.
Memphis Grizzlies stars Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. are both in the mix for the NBA All-Star Game in San Francisco next month. But they might not be the only members of the Grizzlies organization to make it there.
Jaylen Wells' running one-legged 3-point shot in the fourth quarter against the Spurs took his Memphis Grizzlies teammates by surprise.
Ja Morant (right foot soreness) missed his 18th game of the season Friday night vs. the Spurs, making him ineligible to win regular-season NBA awards.
Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins gave an update on Morant's injury after they ruled him out of Friday's contest due to right foot soreness. "He's been nursing a foot sprain since the Houston home game," Jenkins said. "Last game against the Spurs, he got tangled up, had a little collision there with a Spurs player that really worsened it."
Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr., Zach Edey, and the Grizzlies could all but assure a top-six seed with this January schedule.
