The Memphis Grizzlies and guard Jordan Hawkins have mutually agreed to part ways, according to Shams Charania of ESPN. This isn’t just some everyday roster shuffle, either. Hawkins was a 2023 lottery pick, which makes this move pretty wild this early in his career.
A Lottery Pick Looks for a New Home
With the mutual agreement to part ways, Hawkins is now officially on the market. Once he clears waivers, this 2023 lottery pick is free to find a new home in free agency.
What’s Next for Hawkins
