Saunders' (knee) role with Memphis remains unclear as the Grizzlies work through a roster crunch ahead of the regular season, according to Jonah Dylan of The Memphis Commercial Appeal.
President of basketball operations Zach Kleiman characterized the situation as "wait and see" Wednesday. Saunders was selected by Memphis in the second round of the 2026 NBA Draft but remains unsigned, leaving his immediate future uncertain as the Grizzlies sort through a logjam at the back end of their roster.
