The Memphis Grizzlies have made a surprising move by parting ways with head coach Taylor Jenkins with just nine games remaining in the regular season. Despite leading the team to a playoff appearance three times and holding a 250-214 record, Jenkins's dismissal comes after a recent dip in performance, including a 2-4 record in the last six games. Discontent among players was evident after a bench altercation between Desmond Bane and Santi Aldama, leading to concerns about team chemistry. Grizzlies president Zach Kleiman expressed appreciation for Jenkins's contributions but hinted at the need for a change as the team approaches the playoffs. An interim head coach will lead the team for the remainder of the season.
