Richie Saunders (MEM): Out
Saunders was selected by the Grizzlies with the No. 32 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
Rimside Brief
Richie Saunders, a guard drafted 32nd overall by Memphis in the 2026 NBA Draft, has been ruled out after right‑knee surgery. The team’s injury report lists him as out, with an expected return date of December 1, 2026.
The Grizzlies are struggling this season, sitting at 25–57, #13 in the Western Conference and #25 in the power rankings. They are on an eight‑game losing streak and have gone 1‑9 in their last ten games, with a net rating of –5.9. Saunders’ absence further limits the roster depth as the club looks to improve its performance before the season ends, and his recovery will be a key storyline moving forward.
