Memphis Grizzlies
Wishlist: Health
Memphis is the most injury riddled team I’ve ever seen. They throw millions of dollars at pretty good players who just end up getting the injury bug. Last year with Mike Conley and Marc Gasol hurt for the season, Memphis was transformed into a D League team. The average NBA fan couldn’t tell you anyone in their starting lineup.
This year unfortunately looks to be similar so far. Conley is now the most paid player in league history and has already missed 10 games this season. Their new offseason acquisition Chandler Parsons is also sitting out due to an injured knee, having only played six games so far. With all of these guys in the starting rotation playing solid minutes, Memphis is a very solid team and a playoff contender.
That’s why we are getting the Memphis Grizzlies 100% health for Christmas!
This is the number one thing Memphis needs in order to contend for a championship. No need to mix up the roster or try to get new guys at new positions in this magical scenario. If their guys are healthy, they are good! its that simple. We have seen a whopping six total games where Memphis’ three key guys have all played together.
