Memphis Fires Jordan Hawkins

October 3, 2026

The Memphis Grizzlies have recently agreed to waive Jordan Hawks, according to ESPN.

The young guard will be seeking a new NBA team once he clears the waivers period.

Hawks, barely 24 years old, was traded to the Tennessee-based franchise along with his teammate Micah Peavy on September 8.

In three seasons donning the Pelicans jersey he averaged 8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1 assist in 18 minutes per game.

He had a guaranteed salary of 7 million dollars, and the Grizzlies reserved the qualifying offer of 10 million.
