Traded to Memphis
The Jazz traded Niang (foot), Walter Clayton, Taylor Hendricks, Kyle Anderson (illness) and three first-round picks to the Grizzlies on Tuesday in exchange for Jaren Jackson, John Konchar (neck), Jock Landale and Vince Williams, per Shams Charania of ESPN.
Analysis
Niang continues to recover from offseason foot surgery, which prevented him from making his season debut with Utah. The forward remains without a clear timeline for a return, so it's difficult to envision how Niang's presence might affect the Memphis rotation until he finally takes the floor in 2025-26.

Remains out indefinitely
Niang (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Toronto.
Analysis
Niang remains without a timetable for a return as he recovers from a fourth metatarsal stress reaction in his left foot. He should be considered week-to-week until the Jazz offer an update on his progress.
