The Memphis Grizzlies will have plenty of representation at NBA All-Star weekend next month. That'll include guard Yuki Kawamura, who was named to the G League Up Next Game on Wednesday. Kawamura — who is on a two-way contract and plays for both the Grizzlies and the Memphis Hustle of the G League — was the top vote getter by the fans.

Memphis Grizzlies rookies Zach Edey and Jaylen Wells will be at All-Star Weekend in San Francisco as part of the Rising Stars game.

The Memphis Hustle today announced that forward Armando Bacot, guard Yuki Kawamura, forward Mãozinha Pereira and guard DJ Steward have been selected to participate in the NBA G League Up Next Game at NBA All-Star 2025.

With Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler in trade talks, the one team that has been seen as a dark horse was the Memphis Grizzlies which some see as a good fit. While the Grizzlies were reportedly “lurking” in talks for Butler, the team seems to have cooled off due to continued persistence from the star's camp that he does not want to play for them.

The NBA trade deadline draws closer by the day, and as always, the transaction cycle remains headlined by the same small group of players. On Monday, the Miami Heat suspended Jimmy Butler indefinitely after he walked out of a shootaround upon receiving the news that he would be benched.
