The Memphis Grizzlies will have plenty of representation at NBA All-Star weekend next month. That'll include guard Yuki Kawamura, who was named to the G League Up Next Game on Wednesday. Kawamura — who is on a two-way contract and plays for both the Grizzlies and the Memphis Hustle of the G League — was the top vote getter by the fans.

Memphis Grizzlies rookies Zach Edey and Jaylen Wells will be at All-Star Weekend in San Francisco as part of the Rising Stars game.

The Memphis Hustle today announced that forward Armando Bacot, guard Yuki Kawamura, forward Mãozinha Pereira and guard DJ Steward have been selected to participate in the NBA G League Up Next Game at NBA All-Star 2025.

With Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler in trade talks, the one team that has been seen as a dark horse was the Memphis Grizzlies which some see as a good fit. While the Grizzlies were reportedly “lurking” in talks for Butler, the team seems to have cooled off due to continued persistence from the star's camp that he does not want to play for them.

The Warriors are one of the teams engaged with Miami about trading for disgruntled star Jimmy Butler, according to a Tuesday report from ESPN’s Shams Charania. Phoenix has been the most commonly discussed suitor for the 35-year-old forward.
