Memphis Grizzlies Youth Basketball affiliate, Team Thad, has advanced to the Jr.
NBA Global Championship Regional Finals to be held at LakePoint Champions Center
in Emerson, Ga. from June 14 -16. Team Thad was the undefeated winner of the
Grizzlies’ first-ever Jr. NBA Global Championship Local Qualifier held this past
April at FedExForum. The group will advance to compete against multiple teams
across the Southeast region, all in hopes of advancing to the Global Finals in
Orlando, Fla. this August.
In its second year, the Jr. NBA Global Championship is a youth basketball
tournament for the top 13 and 14-year-old players from around the world. The
Global Finals will feature both boys and girls divisions, each comprised of 16
regional champion teams that will participate in on-court competition and
off-court programming. Each Regional Finals will consist of pool play
competition followed by single-elimination bracket play, and every team will
play a minimum of four games. The 2019 Global Finals will take place in August
at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World Resort. The Grizzlies
were just one of a select number of NBA teams to host a Local Qualifier and were
the only organization to do so inside an NBA venue.
The Regional Finals will be streamed on both FloHoops and Eleven Sports USA, and
fans can follow Grind City Media’s Michael Wallace (@MyMikeCheck) and Grizzlies
