Shams Charania of ESPN reported that the Memphis Grizzlies have waived D’Angelo Russell as they need to reduce their roster size ahead of the season. The move makes Russell a free agent who could sign with another team before the 2026-27 NBA season begins. It is trending due to the timing (late September roster deadline pressure), Russell’s name recognition as a former high draft pick and starter, high engagement (thousands of likes/views, hundreds of replies/quotes), and immediate fan speculation about his next landing spot.
