In a little less than a week, the Memphis Grizzlies will board a flight to Berlin, Germany, for the first leg of the team’s international excursion. 

 It will be the first time any NBA team has played a regular-season game in Berlin, and only the 10th time a regular-season game has been played in London — the last being in 2019. 

The Grizzlies will be on a global stage. It will be an undeniable chance to grow their reach and fan base.
