With the NBA’s Board of Governors now expected on Thursday to approve a plan for completing the 2019-2020 season, some initial reactions on what this means for the Grizzlies: 

The currently No. 8-seeded Grizzlies need to hold a four game lead in the playoff race to avoid a play-in scenario.

The Memphis Grizzlies, determined to put their words into action, offer paid time off for employees to vote in location and national elections. 

As the NBA looks at a variety of plans to return to the court, the Memphis Grizzlies path to the playoffs has a lot of different scenarios -- some good; some not rewarding the team for its regular-season performance so far.

The NBA has been in discussions with the Walt Disney World about hosting games in a controlled “campus” or “bubble” environment in Orlando. And it looks like the Grizzlies will be part of the picture.

If the NBA resumes, it is doubtful the Grizzlies will play at FedExForum. And don't hold your breath that there will be baseball at AutoZone Park. 

The Grizzlies opened their practice facility as the NBA offices discusses a resumption of the 2019-2020 season. Meanwhile, three more weekends have been added to their recent “Grizzlies Rewind” broadcasts of franchise-favorite playoff games.

With hints of restarting the NBA season, questions still remain on how to get the league up and going after the hiatus from the coronavirus pandemic.

In the 2013 playoffs against the Clippers, the Grizz dropped the first two games, but won the next four. The last game featured 7 technicals, 2 ejections, a floor brawl and the crowd chanting "Finish them."

The coronavirus pandemic may spur the NBA to test drive a new schedule starting around Christmas for the 2020-2021 season. And that would mean the closing of the summer sports gap.

“Grizzlies Rewind: Playoff Edition” broadcasts remind us of the thrills of days and players gone by — especially the heroics of Z-Bo.

The NBA is planning to open team facilities beginning Friday, at least in cities where coronavirus restrictions are eased by state or local governments, according to an ESPN report citing sources.
