D'Angelo Russell to be waived by Grizzlies in order to meet 15-man roster compliance?

In order to meet 15-man roster compliance standards, the Memphis Grizzlies are said to be considering waiving players such as Walter Clayton Jr., D’Angelo Russell, Jordan Hawkins and Kris Murray, according to reports from @JakeLFischer on Bleacher Report. D'Angelo Russell, who played just 26 games with the Dallas Mavericks last season, still holds the franchise record for most games with 20/5/5 off the bench, with 21 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds, and 1 steal in each game.

He was traded to Memphis in 2019 to acquire Andre Iguodala, with whom he forged a strong professional relationship. Russell recently expressed his desire for Stephen Curry to join a contender in the Eastern Conference, suggesting that the Golden State Warriors' roster may struggle without a veteran presence in the crucial moments of games.
