Kleiman admits Grizzlies made a mistake not picking up LaRavia’s option

Zach Kleiman says Memphis should have kept Jake LaRavia, who will now become a free agent this summer

Zach Kleiman admitted that the Memphis Grizzlies erred in declining Jake LaRavia’s team option for the 2025-26 season.

Kleiman said he misjudged the readiness of Vince Williams Jr. and GG Jackson to step into LaRavia’s role during the playoff push.

With the option declined, LaRavia finished the season with the Sacramento Kings and will enter free agency this offseason.
