Ja Morant’s return from suspension puts the Memphis Grizzlies in a roster bind. To accommodate Morant, they plan to waive Kenneth Lofton Jr., resulting in $1.7 million in dead money.
Lofton’s departure opens up a spot for Morant, who was temporarily replaced by Bismack Biyombo during his suspension. Despite Lofton’s brief stint, he played in 39 NBA games and 32 G League games for the Memphis Hustle over two seasons.
