The Grizzlies are interested in retaining LaRavia beyond this season, but the team won't pick up his option for the 2025-26 campaign, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports. Hill notes that the club is pleased with LaRavia's development. However, Memphis also has 12 players under contract for the 2025-26 campaign and would like to hold onto as much roster flexibility as possible. This could very well be a make-or-break year for the former first-round pick out of Wake Forest, who averaged 10.8 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 35 regular-season games (six starts) a season ago.

LaRavia finished with 17 points (7-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-5 FT), nine rebounds and five assists across 31 minutes during Monday's 126-123 loss to Chicago. With Ja Morant (thigh) sidelined, LaRavia surpassed the 25-minute mark off the bench for the first time this season, and the former Wake Forest standout made the most of the opportunity. This was the first time he scored in double digits in 2024-25, and although LaRavia has proven he can be a productive player when given enough minutes, he's not expected to see a significant role with the Grizzlies as long as the core players are healthy.

LaRavia racked up three points (1-1 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Saturday's 124-111 victory over Orlando. The 22-year-old tallied 20-plus minutes for the second consecutive matchup due to Zach Edey landing in foul trouble and playing only 13 minutes as a starter. LaRavia will likely remain a significant part of Memphis' second unit until Vince Williams (lower leg) returns, and the former could serve as a streaming option in fantasy formats if injury concerns arise in the frontcourt.

LaRavia is not in the starting lineup in Friday's preseason game against the Heat. LaRavia won't start in the preseason finale, as the Grizzlies will operate with a lineup that should be close to what they might go with Opening Night against the Jazz next Wednesday. LaRavia should carve out a steady role off the bench once the regular season begins.

LaRavia won't start Monday's preseason game against the Pacers, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports. LaRavia took Santi Aldama's spot in the starting lineup Saturday in Chicago, but the two will switch places again Monday. With Jaren Jackson dealing with a hamstring injury, LaRavia could see steady reserve minutes to open the regular season.
