The Memphis Grizzlies have announced they will waive Derrick Rose, marking the end of his brief tenure with the team. Rose, a former NBA MVP, appeared in only 24 games during the last season, averaging 8.0 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 3.3 assists in approximately 16.6 minutes per game. His limited playing time reflected his challenges in consistently contributing to the Grizzlies’ rotation.
During the 2023 offseason, Rose signed a two-year, $6.5 million deal with the team, hoping to bring his experience and skills to the squad. However, the decision to part ways suggests the Grizzlies are looking to reshape their roster as they prepare for the upcoming season. As Rose moves on, he will look to find a new opportunity to continue his career in the NBA.
