Memphis Grizzlies FIRE head coach Taylor Jenkins just nine games before playoffs

In a stunning move that has sent shockwaves through the NBA, the Memphis Grizzlies announced on Friday afternoon that they have parted ways with head coach Taylor Jenkins—just nine games shy of the end of the regular season.

Despite a strong 2024-25 campaign in which the Grizzlies are currently tied for the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference, the organization opted for a late-season coaching change with the postseason rapidly approaching.

Shortly after the announcement, the team revealed that an interim head coach will lead the squad through the remainder of the season.

NBA insider Chris Haynes broke the news on X, stating: “The Memphis Grizzlies today announced they have parted ways with head coach Taylor Jenkins.”
