Grizzlies' Mamadi Diakite: Shipped to Memphis

The Nets traded Diakite to the Grizzlies in exchange for Ziaire Williams (back/hip), a 2030 second-round pick and the draft rights to Nemanja Dangubic on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Diakite will change addresses for the second time this offseason, as he was previously traded to the Nets on July 6 as part of the deal that sent Mikal Bridges to the Knicks. The 27-year-old Diakite made just six NBA appearances in 2023-24 for the Knicks and Spurs, averaging 2.0 points in 4.0 minutes. After ultimately landing in Memphis, Diakite will likely operate as a deep reserve and likely won't be included in the Grizzlies rotation most nights.
