The 2024–25 Memphis Grizzlies season was the 30th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and 24th in Memphis. This season would showcase the return of many of Memphis' key players, including Ja Morant, who would make his return after missing most of last season due to suspension and injury. After going 9–7 earlier in the season, the Grizzlies would gain separation as one of the better Western Conference teams this season. On March 28, 2025, the Grizzlies fired head coach Taylor Jenkins, despite having a 44–29 record and more or less having a confirmed spot for the 2025 NBA playoffs at the time.[1] On April 11, the Grizzlies clinched at play-in spot following their loss to the Denver Nuggets. On April 18, the Grizzlies became the last team in the 2024–25 season to clinch a playoff berth after they defeated the Dallas Mavericks in the second play-in game. On April 20, the Grizzlies suffered an 131–80 defeat against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the worst game 1 defeat in NBA playoff history.[2] On April 26, the Grizzlies were swept by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round of the playoffs.

The Grizzlies had one first-round pick and two second-round picks entering the draft.[3][4] For the first time in franchise history, the Grizzlies worked on the NBA draft for two straight days instead of one day like it had been since 1989. In the first day, the Grizzlies decided to take Canadian center Zach Edey from Purdue University, a player who had previously been considered a mid-to-late first round entry, as the 9th pick of the draft due to them being enamored to his size and untapped potential that he has in the NBA. During the second day, the Grizzlies also acquired shooting guard/small forward Jaylen Wells from Washington State University, with them later trading their final second round pick, Cameroonian power forward Ulrich Chomche from the Basketball Africa League's APR BBC in Rwanda and the NBA Academy in Africa, to the Toronto Raptors and then acquiring NCAA champion guard Cam Spencer from the University of Connecticut via trading with the Detroit Pistons.
