The Memphis Grizzlies open the 2026‑27 NBA season unbeaten at 5‑0, the only perfect record after Houston's recent loss. A 21‑point win over a 3‑0 Portland team highlighted their surge, powered by rookie Cameron Boozer’s triple‑double (18‑12‑12) and veteran depth from a new 11‑man rotation. Despite last season’s slump and the off‑season trade of Ja Morant, the squad—bolstered by additions like Jerami Grant and Isaiah Stewart—shows unexpected resilience. This marks only the second 5‑0 start in franchise history, a feat that historically signals a deep playoff run.
Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III is upgraded to questionable for Saturday’s game against the Utah Jazz after knee soreness forced him out of Thursday’s 123-104 loss to Memphis. Coach Micah Nori says the team is being cautious ahead of a packed schedule, but hopes Williams will be cleared for the four‑game road trip. The injury report also lists Ja Morant (grade‑2 left hamstring strain), Shaedon Sharpe (right meniscus) and others out, with Chris Youngblood (left ankle soreness) also questionable.

Ja Morant's injury against Memphis raises fresh concerns for Portland's season.
Dallas Mavericks coach Dusty May praises newly‑signed center Daniel Gafford, who started the season strong after a $54.4 million extension and even hit his first career three‑pointer in a win over Oklahoma City. Meanwhile, Spurs veteran Tobias Harris continues rehab from a calf strain, Suns big man Oso Ighodaro is questionable with an oblique strain, Grizzlies forward Quinten Post left a game with an ankle injury after posting 7.6 points per game, and a side‑by‑side look compares Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg with Timberwolves forward Jonathan Kuminga, both 24. The roundup covers key health updates and early performances across the Western Conference.
Portland Trail Blazers guard Ja Morlet suffers a Grade‑2 hamstring strain and will miss at least four weeks, the team announced on Oct. 30, 2026. Morlet left the Thursday matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies early in the fourth quarter after feeling a twinge. A Grade‑2 strain involves partial muscle tearing and can require several months to fully heal, according to the Cleveland Clinic. In the first four games of the 2026‑27 season, Morlet averaged 15.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists in 25.8 minutes per night. The injury is not a recurrence, offering a sliver of optimism for the Blazers.
Ja Morant suffers a Grade 2 left hamstring strain in his debut game for Portland against Memphis, sidelining him for at least four weeks. The Trail Blazers announced the injury Thursday and will reassess his status in a month, likely keeping him out for most of November and possibly into early December—roughly 18 games. Morant had been averaging 16.3 points, 6.3 assists and shooting .588/.444/.833 in his first three wins with the Blazers. With Shaedon Sharpe also out (torn meniscus), Portland leans on Jrue Holiday, Damian Lillard and Scoot Henderson in the backcourt.
One week into the 2026‑27 NBA season, the Houston Rockets and Memphis Grizzlies sit unbeaten at 5‑0, while the Sacramento Kings (0‑5) and Brooklyn Nets (0‑4) remain winless. A rash of injuries—from Jalen Williams' ankle fracture to Kawhi Leonard’s knee swelling—has already reshaped rosters. Highlights include Cameron Boozer becoming the second‑youngest player ever with a triple‑double, Kevin Durant’s steady impact for the Rockets, and Kyrie Irving’s new role in Dallas. The roundup also covers key storylines from the Celtics, Nuggets, and other clubs, plus Ernie Johnson’s final season on “Inside the NBA.”
Here are the 10 youngest players in NBA history to record a triple-double after Cameron Boozer joined the exclusive list with the Grizzlies.
Who had the Houston Rockets and Memphis Grizzlies leading the Western Conference?
Rookie guard Darryn Peterson scores 18 in the Jazz’s 117-111 loss to San Antonio but sits out the final seven minutes and overtime, prompting coach Will Hardy to cite execution issues and trust in Brice Sensabaugh, who hits crucial threes and finishes with six overtime points. Meanwhile, Nikola Jokic records his 200th regular‑season triple‑double (21‑13‑10) against New Orleans, the second player ever to do so. Portland’s Robert Williams misses a game vs. Memphis with a sore knee, and Ja Morant exits early against Memphis with a left hamstring strain, leaving his availability uncertain.
Cameron Boozer is quickly looking like a star in the making. The Grizzlies rookie made history with a triple-double in their 124-103 win over the Portland Trail Blazers, becoming the second-youngest player ever to record a triple-double in the NBA. With the win, Memphis moved to a perfect 5-0 on the season. Boozer’s teammates were […]

Ja Morent entered his debut for the Portland Trail Blazers against his former team, the Memphis Grizzlies, with swagger – even picking NBA YoungBoy’s “Cross Me” for the warm‑up and trash‑talking defender Cedric Coward as “food.” After scoring 14 points, two rebounds and three assists in 23 minutes, a left hamstring strain forced him out, and Memphis cruised to a 124‑103 victory, handing Portland its first loss (3‑1). The injury clouds Morant’s availability for the next game against Utah. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies improved to 5‑0 thanks to rookie Cam Boozer’s triple‑double, and Deni Avdija poured in 24 for the Blazers.

The Memphis Grizzlies start the season 5-0 with a 124-103 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers at the Moda Center on Oct. 30, 2026. Cameron Boozer posts a near triple‑double (18‑12‑12) and leads a team that shoots 46% overall and 43% from three (18‑of‑42). Portland’s three‑point shooting collapses to 24% (12‑of‑49) as Damian Lillard manages only nine points. Memphis dominates the paint (50‑48), scores 21 fast‑break points and forces 16 turnovers for 23 transition points, building a 24‑point lead. Bench contributions come from Cedric Coward (17 pts) and Zach Edey (13 pts). The win ties Memphis with Houston atop the Southwest Division.
Memphis is shockingly one of two remaining undefeated teams, and has four more potential wins lined up on the schedule. With a young and cheap roster, how is this possible?
Portland’s 124-103 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Oct. 29 highlighted two key injuries. Star guard Ja Morlet left the game at the 7:12 mark of the fourth quarter with a hamstring strain, prompting coach Micah Nori to say the team will evaluate him overnight. The Blazers also missed big man Robert Williams III, sidelined for left‑knee management, while rookie center Donovan Clingan posted 11 points and five blocks against Memphis' Zach Edey. Morlet’s hamstring raises concerns after a strong 3‑0 start, and the team now faces a waiting game to determine his availability.
Trail Blazers Micah Nori can live with the Trail Blazers missing good shots. Forgetting to rebound because those shots aren’t falling? That’s another discussion. Portland went 12-of-49 from three in Thursday’s 124-103 loss to Memphis, its first defeat after a 3-0 start. “We were six for 32 on catch-and-shoots of the 49,” Nori said, via […]
