Trade deadline season in the NBA is here, and the Memphis Grizzlies are active.

The Grizzlies made their first major flash when they traded Jaren Jackson Jr. to the Utah Jazz in an eight-player deal on Feb. 3. John Konchar, Jock Landale and Vince Williams Jr. also went to Utah. Walter Clayton Jr., Taylor Hendricks, Georges Niang and Kyle Anderson were in the return package for Memphis.

So what’s next for the Grizzlies and possibly for Ja Morant.

Memphis is still listening to offers for the point guard with the trade deadline approaching at 2 p.m. CT on Feb. 5.

There are also remaining roster holes that will likely be filled ahead of the deadline. Memphis currently doesn’t have a healthy center available to play after trading Landale and Jackson.

The Grizzlies beat the Minnesota Timberwolves on Feb. 2 to snap a six-game losing streak and now will be on an extended road trip. They play at Sacramento on Feb. 4, then face Portland on Feb. 6 and Feb. 7. They conclude the trip with a Feb. 9 game against Golden State and Feb. 11 against the Denver Nuggets.

Then comes the NBA All-Star break, and the Grizzlies will be off until they host the Jazz on Feb. 20.
