Memphis Grizzlies already paying dividends with new G-League team

The Hustle haven’t played an official game, and the Memphis Grizzlies are already benefiting from their G-League franchise.

Ben McLemore was sent down to the G-League team to begin final rehab for his broken foot today. Also 2017 second-round pick Ivan Rabb was recalled in case Marc Gasol’s ankle prevented him from playing against Orlando.

The flexibility to make moves like these are why Memphis wanted to own their own G-League team and have them close to home.

Would McLemore have accepted an assignment to Iowa last year? If the team wasn’t down the road, would Rabb even be available if Marc couldn’t go?
