Welcome back to your Grizzlies Insider, where we deliver the latest NBA news and analysis straight to your inbox twice a week.

It was a Grizzlies and pop-culture crossover few could see coming. 

But now, Memphis point guard Ja Morant has started a new campaign on Twitter. He wants actor and former wrestling superstar Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to come to FedExForum for a playoff game.
