Raptors linked with potential Ja Morant trade as Grizzlies slide

Ja Morant (Memphis Grizzlies)
Current 2025–26 NBA season, with Morant out injured

As Memphis struggle at 7–12, league chatter has started to link Ja Morant with a possible move, with the Toronto Raptors mentioned by insiders as a speculative destination for a high level lead guard to push their 14–5 team deeper into contention.
Reported interest centres on Toronto’s need for a primary ball handler alongside Scottie Barnes and Brandon Ingram, with Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett viewed as possible trade pieces. Any deal would be complex due to Morant’s dip in form, current calf strain, and two remaining contract years at over 40 million dollars each.
