The Lithuanian specialist has an offer for a three-year contract worth $6 million, per the same report.

This is not the first time Jasikevicius has been linked to the Grizzlies. As reported by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Brian Windhorst, the 47-year-old was on Grizzlies' coaching radar in 2019 after Memphis fired coach JB Bickerstaff.

Additionally, Saras participated in an interview conducted by Toronto Raptors president Masai Ujiri in 2018.

Jasikevicius recently ended his tenure with Barca, and the club officially announced his departure on Monday.

Jasikevicius won two ACB titles, two Spanish Copa del Rey trophies, made EuroLeague Final Four in all three seasons, and navigated the Spanish team to a 204-64 record.

Along with a decorated EuroLeague playing career, Jasikevicius played two seasons in the NBA with Indiana and Golden State, as well as four years at the University of Maryland.

The current Memphis head coach is Taylor Jenkins, who has been in charge since 2019. The team finished the 2022-23 NBA regular season in the second spot in the Western Conference with a record of 51 wins and 31 losses. However, they were eliminated in the First Round of the NBA Playoffs by the Los Angeles Lakers.
