Herrington: Six areas of intrigue as Grizzlies open training camp
Chris Herrington
Chris Herrington has covered the Memphis Grizzlies, in one way or another, since the franchise’s second season in Memphis, while also writing about music, movies, food and civic life. As far as he knows, he’s the only member of the Professional Basketball Writers Association who is also a member of a film critics group and has also voted in national music critic polls for Rolling Stone and the Village Voice (RIP). He and his wife have two kids and, for reasons that sometimes elude him, three dogs.
With Ja Morant’s 25-game league suspension, the exit of free agent Dillon Brooks and the addition of Marcus Smart, here’s what to look for as the season approaches.
