Sources: Grizzlies Trading Marcus Smart, Pick to Wizards

Memphis Grizzlies trades Marcus Smart and a 2025 first round of elections for Washington Wizards in a multiteam trade that sends two second round of elections to Memphis, sources told ESPNS Sham’s Charania.

Memphis creates watch list flexibility with the move.

Smart has not played since December 21 due to an injury to his right index finger. He is currently considered week to week by Memphis, although he has been limited to individual work and no team exercises.

Smart has struggled to stay healthy in Memphis since he was acquired from Boston Celtics in June 2023; He has missed several games in the last two years compared to all his unanswered games combined in Boston.

Once he has been on the field, Smart remains a high -level defender. This year’s former defensive player keeps opponents for less than 40% shooting from the field as a primary defender in the past two seasons, according to ESPN Research.

After this season, Smart has one year left on the four -year extension of $ 77 million, which he signed with Celtics.
