Memphis could earn the seventh seed with a win and a Minnesota Timberwolves loss. Since that seems unlikely with Minnesota playing the Utah Jazz, the Grizzlies are resting several of their key players.
Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Santi Aldama are among seven Grizzlies players listed as doubtful. Yuki Kawamura, GG Jackson and Cam Spencer are among the eight players available.

Knicks set to interview Taylor Jenkins, Mike Brown as head coach search kicks into gear
The Knicks are moving on to coaching candidates they don't require permission to interview from their existing teams. After being rebuffed in efforts to speak with current Mavericks coach Jason Kidd and multiple other potential targets, the Knicks will interview former Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins and former Kings coach Mike Brown, a source confirmed Friday night to The Post. Those meetings are expected to take place at some point next week, The Athletic reported. Advertisement Team president Leon Rose's coaching search has mostly stalled since Tom Thibodeau was fired on June 3, three days after the Knicks were knocked out in six games by the Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals.

Alonzo Adams-Imagn Images In addition to Kidd, the Knicks also were denied in their requests to speak with Houston's Ime Udoka, Minnesota's Chris Finch, Atlanta's Quin Snyder and Chicago's Billy Donovan, according to various reports. Many believe the Knicks plan to circle back eventually on the 52-year-old Kidd, who has two years remaining on his contract, but ESPN's Brian Windhorst reported Friday that the Mavericks 'are not interested in further negotiations at all. 'Don't even call back,' is the message that they wanted out there.' Advertisement A source told The Post last week that the Knicks and the Hall of Fame point guard had 'mutual intrigue' in a potential move. Former Denver coach Mike Malone, who won an NBA title with the Nuggets in 2023, is also available after getting fired late in the regular season. The Post also has reported that former Villanova coach Jay Wright is not interested in the position despite the presence of former Wildcat stars Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart and Mikal Bridges on the roster. Advertisement Former Kings head coach Mike Brown is set to interview with the Knicks. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post The 40-year-old Jenkins posted a 250-214 mark during six seasons in Memphis, but the Grizzlies only won one playoff series over that span. He was canned with nine games remaining in the regular season, and the Grizzlies were swept in the first round of the playoffs by the Thunder after advancing through the play-in tournament. Advertisement The 55-year-old Brown was fired by Sacrmento in December season after leading the Kings to back-to-back 45-win campaigns the previouys two years. He sports a career record of 454-304 in 11 seasons fronting the Cavaliers, Lakers and Kings, including a trip to the NBA Finals with Cleveland in 2006-07.

Stephen. A Smith Slams Luka Doncic With Huge Criticism Amid Lakers Offseason
Stephen. A Smith Slams Luka Doncic With Huge Criticism Amid Lakers Offseason originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Luka Doncic's midseason trade from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers was one of the most shocking moves in NBA history, setting up the purple and gold with a young superstar to build around long term. Advertisement Despite Doncic's individual playoff production of 30.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game, the Lakers' season ended in disappointment. Los Angeles finished with a 50-32 record, securing the third seed in the Western Conference, but their playoff run was short-lived, losing to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round in five games. Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic (77) averaged 30.2 points per game in the five-game, first-round playoff series against the Minnesota Johnson-Imagn Images Amid offseason discussions about the Lakers' future, Stephen A. Smith delivered a sharp critique of Doncic's conditioning and leadership role on the Lakers. "If the issue involving you is that you're not in shape, if conditioning is a question mark, that's lacking leadership," Smith said Friday on "First Take." Smith expanded on his point, adding, 'I have never encountered any champion that says it's OK to be out of shape.' Advertisement Dallas Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison moved Doncic to the Lakers partly due to concerns over his conditioning and defensive consistency — Dallas had fired multiple strength and health staffers in hopes of improving his habits after his weight reportedly crept above 260 pounds. Offseason reports show Doncic embracing an intensified conditioning regimen — weight-room sessions, high-intensity interval work and a stricter diet — aimed at sustaining those heavy minutes over a full 82-game slate. At 26 years old, he has two years remaining on a five-year, $215 million contract that includes a player option after next season. During his 28 games with the Lakers in the regular season, the Slovenian superstar averaged 28.2 points, 8.1 rebounds and 7.5 assists on 43.8 percent shooting, highlighted by a season-high 42 points (including 10 3-pointers) in a victory over Denver. In the playoffs, he logged a career high 41.6 minutes per game, underscoring his role as L.A.'s offensive engine.

Major Kyrie Irving Injury Update Reveals First Potential Return Date For Mavericks
The Dallas Mavericks are heading into the 2025-26 NBA season with sky-high excitement. After arguably the three worst months in franchise history, during which the franchise took the unpopular decision of trading Luka Doncic, they were handed a billion-dollar lifeboat with Cooper Flagg. The Mavericks were expected to be contenders without Flagg, so their hopes have been greatly bolstered after winning the lottery. However, the Mavericks can't feasibly contend until Kyrie Irving returns to the court. Advertisement Irving tore his ACL during a March game against the Sacramento Kings, and many fear he won't be seen all of next season. However, Shams Charania reports that the 33-year-old point guard is targeting a January 2026 return from the debilitating injury. "Kyrie Irving is targeting sometime in January to make his return." Charania made it clear that the Mavericks are targeting point guards as their No. 1 need this offseason. Their lack of quality play on that front was exposed after the Doncic trade, with Irving's injury greatly exacerbating that deficit.

Advertisement Irving was playing at an All-NBA level before tearing his ACL this season, but the Mavericks are remaining optimistic that Kyrie can return next season without missing a beat. If the Mavs do draft Flagg and he lives up to his enormous hype, Irving could be walking into a ready-made contender he'll hope to carry over the line and win a championship with.
