Portland is acquiring 2-time All-Star Ja Morant in a trade with Memphis, AP source says

Ja Morant is headed to Portland, after the Trail Blazers and Memphis agreed on a trade Monday that sees the Grizzlies starting anew and gives the two-time All-Star a chance to revive his career, a person with knowledge of the agreement told The Associated Press. Portland is sending Jerami Grant and Kris Murray to the Grizzlies as part of the deal, said the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the trade has not gotten the required league approvals. It’s a big swing by the Trail Blazers and could suggest Portland — with new owner Tom Dundon, whose Carolina Hurricanes just won the Stanley Cup — might not be done making moves.

Justin Verlander Is Looking For His Wheels

The Father's Day crowd in downtown Detroit was likely unanimous in its disappointment that Keider Montero was on the hill for the Tigers. It's nothing personal against Keider, but until a few days prior, this game against the White Sox was looking far more momentous. Justin Verlander, finally healthy again, would be appearing for the first time at home in a Tigers uniform since he was traded to Houston in 2017. Except Verlander wasn't quite healthy again. Despite a couple of rehab outings with the Toledo Mud Hens earlier this month, ramping up to his MLB return after just one bad start back on March 30, JV had to be scratched with a hamstring injury—a different ailment than the hip problem that was previously keeping him away. This new issue doesn't sound like a minor setback. In fact, it raises questions about whether the 43-year-old has finally hit the end of his career. This is not a matter of days, manager A.J. Hinch said. It's a matter of weeks. We're going to need a full rehab process to get him back to throwing again.
