On Tuesday evening, the NBA announced the rosters for the annual Mtn Dew Ice Rising Stars Challenge, which takes place during NBA All-Star Weekend. This year, the Memphis Grizzlies will receive representation via rookie Jaren Jackson Jr.
In a month that has delivered just two wins out of 15 tries heading into Wednesday’s road meeting versus the Minnesota Timberwolves, this is the type of positive news this Grizzlies club is needing in the worst way.
Memphis cannot even hold onto a 25-point lead — the largest blown lead in franchise history — as they fumbled a golden opportunity on Monday againsts the Denver Nuggets.
