This game has been a mess even by preseason standards. 16 combined turnovers in eight minutes.
Grizzlies starting Kris Murray in this preseason finale. Seemingly want another good look at him with key players before making a final roster decision.
GG Jackson and Jerami Grant are inactive tonight for the Grizzlies. Tuomas Iisalo says Jackson tweaked an ankle in the previous preseason game and is “day to day.” Grant is out with “general soreness.”
At shootaround, Zach Edey says the plan is to play him tonight and continue to increase him minutes in preparation for the regular season.

For Memphis’ early 2000s’ film scene, Commercial Appeal writer John Beifuss was perhaps the right person at the right time, benefiting from local activity and helping spur it.

D’Angelo Russell cut was a given. Carson Cooper will be in that spot by Monday. The primary remaining question is whether the Grizzlies roster Richie Saunders for camp or hold off on that (since he can’t play yet). If they wait, Hawkins and Peavy might both be in camp.
