Report: Grizzlies, Jordan Hawkins reportedly agree to part ways

The Memphis Grizzlies and guard Jordan Hawkins have reportedly mutually agreed to part ways, according to ESPN's Shams Charania, who reported Friday, October 2, that the 2023 lottery pick will be able to seek a new team in free agency after clearing waivers. Charania's report did not specify any additional terms.

Hawkins' available Keel Stats data is from his 2025-26 season with the New Orleans Pelicans, not the current 2026-27 season. In 51 regular-season games, including one start, he averaged 5.1 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 13.5 minutes per game. He posted a 48 percent true-shooting rate, an 18.3 percent usage rate and a -2.6 plus-minus per game.

His final 10 games in that 2025-26 sample showed a larger role. Hawkins averaged 17.8 minutes, 10 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists across 10 games, with one start. His true-shooting rate was 61.8 percent and his usage was 20.8 percent in that stretch, while his plus-minus per game was -3.7.

Hawkins recorded a -3.1 Keel Impact, Keel Stats' estimate of the points per 100 possessions a player adds versus an average player, during the 2025-26 regular season. That ranked 363rd among 379 players with at least 500 minutes. Memphis went 25-57 in 2025-26 and had a -5.8 net rating, meaning it was outscored by 5.8 points per 100 possessions; that ranked 24th of 30 teams. The Grizzlies ranked 25th offensively and 23rd defensively.
