The Memphis Grizzlies have unexpectedly waived guard Derrick Rose just a week before the training camp. Reports suggest that Rose requested to be released from his contract, leading to this surprising decision. Sources confirm the Grizzlies' move, indicating a potential update from Rose soon.

There is speculation that the former MVP, who has had a remarkable career, may announce his retirement, but this remains unconfirmed. The team's action opens up a roster spot, possibly paving the way for Scotty Pippen Jr. following his successful performances.
