Memphis Grizzlies trade back in 2025 NBA Draft, send No. 56 to Golden State for No. 59
The Grizzlies are making a draft pick trade — again.
After moving up from No. 16 to No. 11 during the first day of the 2025 NBA Draft on June 26, Memphis reportedly made a deal to move back in the second round. The Grizzlies traded the No. 56 pick to the Warriors, who will acquire Florida's Nick Richard.

Memphis already had one pick in the second round and took West Virginia's Javon Small. The Grizzlies moved down in the draft and will have the No. 59 selection. That's the final pick of the draft.
The Grizzlies picked Washington State guard Cedric Coward with No. 11 in the first round, but Memphis still has a few areas it could add to in the second round on Thursday. Starting center Zach Edey will miss the start of the 2025-26 season because of an ankle injury, so the Grizzlies could look to add depth there.
