Per the network, multiple teams have inquired about Morant ahead of the Feb. 5 NBA trade deadline, with the Grizzlies prioritizing draft picks and young players in return.
Morant, 26, is eligible to sign up to a three-year, $178 million extension this summer.
He is averaging 19.0 points and 7.6 assists in 18 games (all starts) while playing in the third season of a five-year, $197 million deal. He is under contract through the 2027-28 season.
Morant served a one-game suspension for conduct detrimental to the team in November. He was handed two bans for incidents involving guns earlier in his career.
He has averaged 22.4 points and 7.4 assists in 325 career games (323 starts) since being selected by Memphis with the second overall pick of the 2019 NBA Draft out of Murray State.
