MikeCheck: Role players embrace call to action as shorthanded Grizzlies embark on season’s longest trip

CHICAGO – Ten days, four games and three different time zones.

It equates to the longest road trip of the season for the Grizzlies, who embark on that journey just as their shorthanded roster settles into the most grueling month of the schedule. But what most would see as a dauntingly stacked deck against them – replete with nine road games and four back-to-back sets in December – there’s a reassuring veteran leader on the team who sees something quite different.

Solomon Hill was one of the last players on the squad to secure a roster spot coming out of training camp a few months back.
