What happened
Memphis waived Walter Clayton Jr. and Micah Peavy on Monday as it worked to get down to the 15-player limit before the roster deadline.
Clayton, a former Florida standout and 2025 first-round pick, had already moved from Washington to Utah to Memphis during his first professional season.
The move helps Memphis clear its roster crunch, but Clayton still has to pass through waivers before his next team is known. The Grizzlies may need another adjustment if they make a later roster claim or signing.
