Memphis has finally brought Richie Saunders, their 2026 second-round pick, onto the roster, giving him a two-way deal to start his career. This is an encouraging sign for Saunders as he recovers from an ACL tear. Congrats, Richie! To make room for Saunders, the Grizzlies released rookie Carson Cooper.
