Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley, who is presently recovering from surgery to repair a facial fracture sustained in Game 3, has purchased 500 tickets to give away for Game 5. The tickets are his way of saying thank you to the fans that supported him after the injury:
“It was such a disappointment to go down in Game 3, but my spirits were immediately lifted after all of the support that I received from fans around the world, but especially those right here in Memphis,” said Conley. “As a way to say thank you, I’d like for them to be cheering us on tomorrow at Game 5 because there’s no greater experience than the NBA Playoffs in Memphis.
