Waiver effective in Memphis
The Memphis Grizzlies have waived Yuri Collins effective September 26. The move is already listed as effective: this is an official roster exit, not a pending negotiation, and no destination team has been announced.
The waiver appears in NBA.com's official transaction log and was corroborated by RealGM and Hoops Rumors, which listed the cut among Memphis's preseason adjustments. None of the three references published a club explanation or new contract terms.
What changes for Yuri Collins
Collins, a guard formerly with the Warriors who spent last season between Israel and the G League, now waits for a waiver claim, with no confirmed destination.
Preseason adjustment with no further move confirmed
For Memphis, the immediate effect is one fewer player in its preseason group ahead of the 2026-27 season. The waiver came within a sequence of linked preseason moves, but the club has not announced a subsequent step directly tied to this exit.
