The Memphis Grizzlies have parted ways with OrthoSouth, the team announced on Aug. 28. OrthoSouth has been the Grizzlies' sports medicine partner since 2023.
When the two sides agreed to a deal in 2023, the partnership was initially for 10 years.
"The Memphis Grizzlies represent the resilience and determination we admire about our city – toughness, heart and an unwavering commitment to the community," Kimble Jenkins, OrthoSouth CEO said in a statement. "We're proud of the work our physicians and staff delivered during this partnership, and we will carry a deep respect for the Grizzlies organization going forward. OrthoSouth's mission has always been to help people move better and live fuller lives by delivering top-tier customer service in orthopedic and sports medicine care. We're excited about what lies ahead as we continue to grow and serve the Memphis region."
Injuries have been a major point of discussion with the Grizzlies over the past three seasons. Many of the team's best players battled injuries, leading to two of the most injury-riddled seasons in franchise history in 2023-24 and 2025-26.
The Grizzlies hired Mike Curtis as team's head of player health and performance in June and made overhauling changes to the staff.
