7 Potential Memphis Grizzlies offseason targets with ties to Ja Morant
By Tyler Watts
5. Justise Winslow
Winslow played just 26 games over parts of two seasons with the Grizzlies. The 27-year-old has struggled to stay healthy for his entire career. Winslow played over 50 games just three times in his eight years in the NBA, and he has appeared in just 114 games combined over the last four seasons.
The 6’6 wing was traded to Memphis in February 2020, but he missed the rest of the season with injuries. Winslow was back with Grizzlies the following year where he averaged 6.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.9 assists in 19.5 minutes per game. He struggled to stay healthy, but Winslow was happy about the trade and shared his excitement about playing with Ja Morant several times.
Justise Winslow was a free agent in 2021 when he signed with the LA Clippers. He was traded to Portland just six months later, and he spent the 2022-23 campaign with the Blazers. The 27-year-old played in just 29 games this year as he again dealt with injuries.
The Memphis Grizzlies need wing depth, and Winslow will be available for the minimum. Could the two sides reunite on a low-risk deal? His below-average 3-point shooting makes him a less-than-ideal fit, but the 27-year-old would certainly be interested in a reunion with Ja Morant.
