MEMPHIS – A season of enormous progress for the Grizzlies now shifts to another step in the offseason process to build one of the NBA’s youngest teams into a perennial contender.
The Grizzlies wrapped up their first winning season and playoff appearance in four years after winning the league’s Play-In Tournament to set up their first-round matchup against Utah. After shocking the NBA’s top-seeded squad on the road in Game 1, the Grizzlies fell 4-1 in a hard-fought series against the team with the best record in the league.
On the heels of a 38-34 record to finish well ahead of preseason projections for the second straight year, the Grizzlies enter the summer buoyed by breakthroughs from budding superstar point guard Ja Morant and a roster of players coming off career seasons.
