Elliot Perry will be representing the team in the draft again, just like he did last year. But there's no anxiety this time around. 

The season ended with a loss to the Portland Trail Blazers Saturday. But the rookie showed the country why this will be remembered as one of the most important seasons in the history of the franchise. 

Memphis' triumph against the Bucks gave them a spot in the playoff play-in series against the Trail Blazers. It was the ending this unlikely regular season deserved.

I dropped off my youngest kid at college this week. The pandemic has changed everything about that experience. Except the stuff that matters most. 

After losing to the Boston Celtics, the Grizzlies' trip to Disney appears to be nearing the end. But one more great ride remains.

The campaign with season ticket holders is #KeepMemphisRoaring. The hope is that they will.

No, this isn't what the Grizzlies expected. There have been setbacks in Orlando they didn't foresee. But this year of all years, maybe y'all know how that feels. 

My longtime pastor, Steve Montgomery, died of injuries from a bicycle accident earlier this week. What would Steve have said to help us make sense of his death? I asked some of his close friends. 

The Portland Trail Blazers defeated the Memphis Grizzlies in the first of eight seeding games. It was agonizing, certainly. But somehow, the agony felt wonderful.

The Grizzlies normally save growl towels for the playoffs. But in this strangest of NBA seasons, the next eight games may be the closest thing. 

You can dwell on the disappointment of not having fans at the WGC this year. A Memphian named Rick Gardner was disappointed, too. But then he showed the sort of creativity and perseverance that we all can learn from.

Of all the shameful decisions made by all our feckless leaders during this pandemic, you will have a hard time finding any more disgraceful than the decision by Gov. Bill Lee to allow high schools to resume playing football.

The melee at Golf and Games is the kind of thing that can happen when kids don't have enough structure and supervision. Now that Shelby County Schools has decided to start out all-virtual, what does that mean for the broader community?

Memphis 901 FC played a game in front of fans at AutoZone Park Saturday night. In the process, the franchise showed others — including the University of Memphis — how it can be done.

The Memphis Grizzlies didn't win their first scrimmage in the NBA bubble. But at a time when everything in life seems fragile, it was a gift to have them back.

We curse them, criticize them and (sometimes even) flip them the bird. On National Drive-Thru Day, let's hear it for the front-line workers who see us at our worst.

Five-star center Moussa Cisse has committed to Memphis. It's a huge win for Penny Hardaway — and a reason to believe that next season (if there is one) could be what last season was supposed to be. 

There are a lot of hard choices to make during this pandemic, but postponing high school football shouldn't be one of them. It's time to move the season to the spring.

Ja Morant said Friday he's a "Ramen Noodles guy." That's just the kind of attitude NBA players will need to succeed in the Orlando bubble. 

The Ivy League was the first conference to cancel football this fall. It won't be the last. For that, you can blame those who didn't listen to people like Dr. Jon McCullers, who tried to tell you this is how it could go. 

Here's how the "early termination" section came to be in the Grizzlies lease — and why Memphians should still consider the lease to be an emphatic success. 

When the FedExForum deal was struck, some people worried that the city and county might not have the money to pay off the arena bonds. Instead, there's a $29 million surplus. And it might come in handy real soon. 

An "early termination" clause in the Grizzlies lease poses a real challenge for the city and county. But if you're worried about the Grizzlies relocating someday, that's not what you should be most worried about.

The Memphis Grizzlies have met with city and county officials to discuss a little-known "early termination" clause in the Grizzlies lease which could require the city and county to spend millions to make up for ticket shortfalls this season — or risk losing the team. 

Pete Wickham should be taking his son, Matt, to a Redbirds game today. But Pete was diagnosed with a brain tumor and Matt — who is autistic and intellectually disabled — is locked down with COVID-19. Somehow, this very difficult Father's Day has become a reminder of what it's all about.
