Report: Rasheed Wallace Joining Penny Hardaway's Memphis Coaching Staff
Memphis hired four-time NBA All-Star Rasheed Wallace as an assistant coach on Wednesday, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.
Wallace, 46, will join the staff of former NBA All-Star Penny Hardaway, who has served as Memphis's head coach since 2018. Larry Brown, who coached Wallace in Detroit when the Pistons won the 2004 Finals, will also be an assistant with the Tigers in 2021-22.
The former Pistons and Blazers star played 16 NBA seasons from 1995-2013. He averaged 14.4 points and 6.7 rebounds in his career and, at his peak, was considered one of the game's top power forwards.
