Tigers defensive line coach Deke Adams' stay in Memphis may not be long. He is under consideration for the same job at Mississippi State, leaving Memphis coach Mike Norvell with yet another staff member to replace.

Marc Gasol came to Memphis at the age of 16. Eighteen years later – after playing what may have been his final home game at FedExForum – he called it a “helluva ride.”

Jaren Jackson Jr. is headed to All-Star weekend. Mike Conley and Marc Gasol still don't know where they're headed. Meanwhile, the whole Grizzlies team is stuck in a Minnesota winter with the trade-deadline blues.

Penny Hardaway has a massive chip on his shoulder about criticism – real or imagined – from other coaches. And that's a good thing.

The Grizzlies built a big lead and lost every bit of it, suffering a regular-season franchise-record 25-point collapse in a 95-92 loss to the Denver Nuggets. 

With 10 days before the NBA's trade deadline, we sift through trade rumors, explore the complicated Grizzlies future of 10-day-contract find Bruno Caboclo, and wonder how much more we'll see of Mike Conley and Marc Gasol. 

Penny Hardaway says other coaches are jealous of his accomplishments since he didn’t come up through the college-coaching ranks before having success in his inaugural season at Memphis.

Nikola Jokic scored 24 points and made a go-ahead basket with 28.9 seconds left, and the Denver Nuggets overcame a 25-point second-half deficit to beat the Memphis Grizzlies 95-92 on Monday night.

Denver: 95, Memphis: 92

The Memphis Grizzlies saw their losing streak continue as a late call thwarted a last-minute comeback and hopes for a win.

With their franchise future in doubt, Marc Gasol and Mike Conley led the Grizzlies to a 106-103 home win over the Indiana Pacers, breaking a season-long eight-game losing streak.

From the first possession of the game, when UCF’s 7-foot-6 center Tacko Fall fumbled a pass around his ankles and that turnover became a fast-break layup for Memphis, the Tigers were in charge. They rolled to a 77-57 victory Sunday afternoon at FedExForum and remained a perfect 4-0 at home in American Athletic Conference play.

Mike Conley had 22 points and 11 assists, Jaren Jackson Jr. added 20 and the Memphis Grizzlies beat the Indiana Pacers 106-103 Saturday night to end an eight-game losing streak.

Memphis: 106, Indiana: 103

The Memphis Grizzlies have put their chips on the table for a team rebuild, leaving fans to recall happier days and wonder about the future.
