Ja Morant Debuts Memphis Grizzlies' Platinum City Edition

Merlin sees the Grizzlies unveiling new City Edition uniforms for 2025-26 in a video with Ja Morant, set to debut Nov. 20 vs. Sacramento. The update remixes the 2020-21 Stax/Isaac Hayes tribute, swapping black-and-gold for white and platinum as a nod from gold to platinum records. Memphis starts 4-6 with a No. 22 net rating; Morant is averaging 20.1 points and 7.9 assists but is shooting 37.9% overall (12.8% from three), while rookie Cedric Coward is a bright, efficient surprise. Merlin senses the new threads are meant to inspire a turnaround — a visual link to the season they first reached the playoffs with Morant. The true alchemy will be on-court: fixing Morant’s shot, smoothing relationships with the coaching staff, and turning Coward’s spark into team chemistry.
