MikeCheck: Grizzlies eye NBA potential guidelines to re-open practice sites May 8 for players

Grizzlies players have spent their unexpected idle time spread around the globe during the NBA’s hiatus, working on everything from college coursework to fashion to music.

They may soon get to regroup in Memphis to regain their basketball rhythm.

As various state and local governments modify stay-at-home mandates to ease restrictions amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the NBA has outlined stringent health and safety guidelines that could allow some teams to re-open practice facilities May 8 for individual player workouts.

We are in the process of reviewing the criteria received from the League (Monday) regarding the potential to re-open our facilities for individual player workouts as of May 8th

The Grizzlies were among 30 NBA teams notified by the league of mandates that must be in place once players return to facilities in cities no longer subject to a government restriction.
