Grizzlies have gone small against the Cavaliers. Biggest Memphis player on the floor is like 6-8. Of course, they really can't go big with the list of injured players.
Former Bellevue Baptist senior pastor Steve Gaines has died after a battle with kidney cancer. The church announced about a week ago that Gaines had entered hospice care. Out story @DailyMemphian

Wes Rucker was one of the 1st reporters I got to watch up close. He would always joke with me about dressing up for practices, but I’ll always remember how he offered himself as a resource for a student reporter finding his way. Meant a lot to me. Praying for the Rucker family 🙏🏽
Jazz leading scorer Lauri Markkanen is a late scratch vs. the Grizzlies. He went from not only the injury list this morning, to doubtful with an illness to OUT with said illness. I hope he's not on the Utah bench for the game to get the rest of his teammates sick.
It is such a shame that Denny McLain got the notoriety of winning 31 games In 1968 because I always thought Mickey Lolich was the best Detroit pitcher of that era
