LJ Cryer and Kobe Sanders were among several Desmond Bane replacements the Grizzlies brought in for private workouts before the NBA Draft.

Desmond Bane revealed during an appearance on The Young Man and the Three podcast that Memphis Grizzlies general manager and executive vice president of basketball operations Zach Kleiman wished him a happy Father's Day before informing him that he had been traded to the Orlando Magic.

How does the Desmond Bane trade from the Memphis Grizzlies to the Orlando Magic affect the Boston Celtics, if at all? The Magic ponied up four first round draft picks, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and Cole Anthony to secure Bane to their roster as they mushed their chips in to make a run at the 2026 NBA Finals in what is looking like a down season for Boston while star Celtics forward Jayson Tatum recovers from a torn Achilles tendon injury.
