The Memphis Grizzlies released the following statement from Grizzlies
Controlling Owner Robert Pera regarding Marc Gasol:
“Marc has been a dedicated teammate, star player and pillar of this team for the
past 11 seasons. He plays with a heart and a passion for the game that helped
carry this franchise to seven straight playoff appearances, but what Marc has
done for this organization is about more than just basketball. He was a part of
a core group of players that helped shape the identity of this franchise on and
off the court and were embraced by the City of Memphis. On behalf of the
Grizzlies organization, I would like to thank him for his blood, sweat and
dedication to the Grizzlies and Memphis. The impact he has had on this team and
the city will live on, and we look forward to one day welcoming him back home to
Memphis where his #33 jersey will hang in the rafters of FedExForum next to Zach
and Tony.”
