The Grizzlies waived Gordon on Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
This was an expected move by Memphis, as Gordon was never expected to stick around after the 76ers salary dumped him Thursday. Gordon will likely draw some interest from contending teams on the open market.

Grizzlies' Eric Gordon: Unlikely to stay in Memphis
Rotowire
Gordon (recently traded) is likely to be waived by the Grizzlies, Kelly Iko of Yahoo Sports reports.
The Grizzlies acquired Gordon and a 2032 second-round pick from the 76ers on Thursday. It appears the veteran wing will not stick around in Memphis, but he could garner interest from teams on the waiver wire or as a free agent if he clears waivers. Gordon last saw regular-season action Dec. 23 against the Nets, when he played 17 minutes off the bench while tallying 12 points, one steal and one block.

76ers' Eric Gordon: Traded to Grizzlies
Rotowire
The 76ers agreed to trade Gordon and a 2032 second-round pick swap to the Grizzlies on Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Gordon hasn't appeared for Philadelphia since Dec. 23, so the move doesn't seem to have a major impact on the fantasy landscape. Provided he stays put with Memphis, the 37-year-old swingman offers the team a veteran presence but is unlikely to play a notable part on the floor.
Gordon chipped in 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 144-103 loss to the Magic.
Philadelphia went deep into its rotation, thawing out Gordon for what was a rare appearance. He has now graced the court on four occasions this season, typically coming as a result of injuries, lopsided results, or desperation. While he was actually able to contribute across multiple categories, managers need not concern themselves with this effort, given he hadn't left the bench during the previous six games.

76ers' Eric Gordon: Drills two triples in 11 minutes
Rotowire
Gordon contributed eight points (3-4 FG), one steal, two triples and one turnover in 11 minutes off the bench during Monday's 136-124 win over the Magic.
Gordon was collecting DNP-CDs through Philly's first two games, but he was able to crack the rotation Monday evening as part of the fallout from Joel Embiid's rest day, and to his credit, he did drill two big triples down the stretch to keep the 76ers on top for the win. It was a solid showing for the veteran, but he'll likely return to a negligible reserve role for Tuesday's game in D.C.

76ers' Eric Gordon: Out of action in win
Rotowire
Gordon didn't play in Wednesday's 117-116 win over Boston.
Despite the absence of Jared McCain (thumb), Gordon remained a spectator in the season opener. VJ Edgecombe's immediate emergence also doesn't bode well for Gordon's chances at playing time, so the latter will likely be more of a veteran presence than on-court contributor going forward.
Gordon (wrist) managed two points (0-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and one assist in 13 minutes during Thursday's 99-84 preseason loss to the Knicks.
After undergoing right wrist surgery at the end of February, the veteran sharpshooter has a clean bill of health for 2025-26. Until Jared McCain (thumb) is ready to play, it's possible Gordon will open the new campaign as part of the Philadelphia rotation.

76ers' Eric Gordon: Inks pact with Philadelphia
Rotowire
Gordon (wrist) agreed to a one-year, $3.63 million contract with the 76ers on Tuesday, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Gordon will return to the 76ers on a veteran minimum deal after declining his $3.4 million player option Sunday. The 36-year-old swingman sprained his right wrist before the All-Star break and underwent surgery at the end of February. However, he's expected to be ready for training camp. Gordon averaged 6.8 points, 1.7 assists and 1.2 rebounds across 19.7 minutes per game in 39 regular-season appearances (13 starts) during the 2024-25 campaign.

Eric Gordon: Will decline player option
Rotowire
Gordon (wrist) will decline his $3.4 million player option for 2025-26 on Sunday and become an unrestricted free agent, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Before spraining his wrist shortly before the All-Star break, the veteran guard played in 39 regular-season games for the 76ers and posted career-low averages in points (6.8), rebounds (1.2) and minutes (19.7) while shooting 42.6 percent from the floor and 40.9 percent from beyond the arc. Gordon underwent successful surgery at the end of February and was given a three-month re-evaluation timeline, so he should have a healthy offseason ahead of him.
