The complete story
The franchise began in 1995 as the Vancouver Grizzlies, an NBA expansion team in British Columbia that struggled to draw fans and win games before relocating to Memphis in 2001. The Memphis Grizzlies built their identity in the 2010s around the physical, defense-first 'Grit and Grind' teams led by Marc Gasol, Mike Conley, Zach Randolph, and Tony Allen, which made multiple deep playoff runs including a 2013 Western Conference Finals appearance, though the franchise has never reached the NBA Finals. The team plays at FedExForum in downtown Memphis, opened in 2004, and has long maintained a geographic Southwest Division rivalry with Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and New Orleans. The 2020s Ja Morant/Jaren Jackson Jr. core brought the Grizzlies back to playoff contention, but a wrenching 2025-26 season saw both stars dealt away (Jackson Jr. to Utah in February, Morant to Portland that June) along with the tragic death of forward Brandon Clarke in May 2026, forcing a full roster rebuild around 2026 draft pick Cameron Boozer and newly acquired veterans.
