Zach Edey will have a follow procedure on his ankle. Also an update on Brandon Clarke.

Thanks. Wrote those lists before the game based on the submitted injury reports. Forgot to edit them.

Pre-lottery tiebreakers are determined by coin flip.

Don’t know if it will end up meaning much of anything, but Taj Gibson shares an agent with Zach Edey and had the same ankle stabilization surgery earlier in his career.

Herrington: Everyone has an NBA anti-tanking proposal. Here’s mine. The Grizzlies are “tanking” in what may be the last season where that’s possible. Changes are coming. Here’s an idea for what the new system should be.

This game is going to be an absolute mess. Cancel the broadcast. Burn the tapes.

Any friend of Otis and Husker Du is a friend of mine. Got to meet Bob Mould last year when he was the commencement speaker at my college (where he also went). Won’t be in town for Natchez, unfortunately, but really like the movie and enjoyed interviewing the filmmaker.

Grizzlies Mailbag: Can Zach Kleiman steer the rebuild? Will Cedric Coward get the ball? As the Memphis Grizzlies shift to a rebuild, fans have a lot of questions about the franchise’s direction.

Grizzlies 25: Shane Battier was the first true Memphis Grizzly and authored the franchise’s greatest encore The Memphis Grizzlies had never won a playoff game until Shane Battier’s second run with the franchise. Then he buried that burden with one big shot.

Grizzlies say they won't raise prices in message to season ticket holders The Memphis Grizzlies sent a note to season ticket holders in a renewal email Monday. “There is a difference between moving forward and starting over,” the message said.

Past is forever present in Memphis filmmaker's award-winning 'Natchez' Suzannah Herbert fell in love with documentary filmmaking as a Midtown Memphis teen. Her new ‘Natchez’ has drawn major national notice.

With the All-Star break here, it’s a good time to ring the Grizzlies Mailbag bell. Grizzlies, general NBA, ‘There’s More to Life than Basketball.’ Ask ‘em if ya got ‘em.

I'm pretty proud of this poem I made out of the euphemisms that companies used to describe the ICE occupation in corporate communications. Also read the whole story: racketmn.com/corporate-co...

Herrington: Grizzlies’ half-season ‘tank’ is familiar territory for longtime fans Chris Herrington: For the Grizzlies, “tanking” worked the last time. This time they’re better set up for success.

Season hopes off the rails, a pivot to a new era, taking, ahem, active measures to improve draft positioning. Even not-so-long-time Grizzlies fans have seen this before.

There is no tanking powerful enough to overcome the Sacramento Kings.

Bucks win in Orlando. The rare draft-positioning double-win for the Grizzlies, with a good outcome for both of the team's first-round picks.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Grizzlies 25: Rudy Gay may have been the best big-shot maker in Grizzlies history Before the Memphis Grizzlies called “12,” they called “22.”

The 25th Memphis Grizzlies season has gone off the rails, but memory lane remains clear. I break the Top 10 this week in my ongoing Grizzlies 25 series, flipping through Rudy Gay's lengthy big-shot resume.

Management has always been the main thing. Last year had two small-market NBA finalists with one (Holmgren) self-drafted high lottery pick between them.

My pet tanking fix has always been a 22-team flat odds lottery, all teams that don’t advance in the playoffs.

We now know a team will prefer to miss the playoffs to be one of 14 teams with a shot at Cooper Flagg. Nobody will want to lose a playoff series to be one of 22.

I still wouldn't recognize a Bad Bunny song if it walked in and sat on the couch, but as huge production numbers go that was unusually beautiful. Shoutout to weddings and taco carts and house parties and old men playing dominoes.
