The Memphis Grizzlies have officially parted ways with guard Jordan Hawkins. According to Shams Charania of ESPN, the decision was made mutually between the team and the player. Hawkins will now become a free agent and look for a new opportunity elsewhere.
Hawkins had recently joined the Grizzlies organization. The New Orleans Pelicans traded him to Memphis in a four-player deal last month. This move marks the end of his tenure with the Grizzlies shortly after his arrival.
Jordan Hawkins, 24, was selected as the 14th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. During the previous season with the New Orleans Pelicans, he appeared in 51 regular-season games. In those appearances, he averaged 5.1 points and 1.7 rebounds in 13.6 minutes per game.
His production declined from the 2024-25 season, where he recorded career-best averages of 10.8 points and 2.8 rebounds. Despite the recent dip in statistics, Hawkins remains relatively young and has demonstrated scoring capability when given significant playing time.
Following the separation from Hawkins, the Memphis Grizzlies roster composition has been updated. The team now holds 16 guaranteed contracts. Additionally, Jaylen Wells remains on the roster with a partially guaranteed deal.
