The team’s announcement means that FedExForum will remain the name of the Grizzlies’ home arena, as it has been since the arena opened in 2004.

Memphis was up 13 at the end of the first quarter and outscored the Hornets 40-23 in the second. It was enough to easily weather a 12-0 run by Charlotte to close the period.

This is the box score for the NBA game between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday, Jan. 22, 2025, at FedExForum.
