Grizzlies will retire Marc Gasol’s jersey in future, says owner

MEMPHIS, TENN.—A day after trading Marc Gasol to Toronto, the owner of the Memphis Grizzlies says the franchise will retire the centre’s No. 33 jersey some day in the future.

Owner Robert Pera issued a statement Friday morning after the franchise confirmed the trade netting Memphis a trio of players and a second-round draft pick in the 2024 draft.

Pera praised Gasol as a pillar of the Grizzlies for 11 seasons and part of the core that shaped the franchise’s identity on and off the court.
