Memphis Grizzlies forward Zach Randolph has received the January NBA Cares Community Assist Award presented by Kaiser Permanente in recognition of his continuous efforts to help those in need throughout the Memphis community, the NBA announced today. The award recognizes an NBA player each month who best reflects the passion that the league and its players share for giving back to their communities.
Kaiser Permanente and the NBA are honoring Randolph for his sustained generosity and commitment to aiding kids and families in need.
