Taylor Jenkins is out as Memphis Grizzlies coach, with the team announcing the move Friday.
Jenkins’ departure comes with the Grizzlies (44-29) sitting in fifth place in the Western Conference.
“I’m genuinely appreciate of Taylor’s contributions to this team and this city over the past six seasons,” Grizzlies general manager Zach Kleiman said in a statement. “This was a difficult decision, given the consistent and tangible development of our players and overall success under Taylor’s leadership. I wish Taylor the very best going forward.”
Jenkins had served as Grizzlies coach since 2019-20 — the same season Ja Morant was named Rookie of the Year. The Grizzlies had made three postseason appearances with Jenkins with one playoff series win.
