The Memphis Grizzlies started the new season 1-0 despite some foul trouble and multiple key players missing. They found themselves trailing by 15 points in the first quarter before eventually clawing their way to victory in the second half. Despite the team desperately needing to return to full strength, last night's win was a promising display of grit.
With so many players missing to start the season, the Grizzlies are embracing the idea of competition and giving the young players chances to prove themselves early. However, a notable absence from the game was third-year player GG Jackson II, who is still just 20 years old.
