Memphis Grizzlies’ schedule includes notable returns, fewer national games
The Memphis Grizzlies’ home opener will be against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday, Oct. 21. It will be an early showcase of two highly regarded rookies in Utah’s No. 2 overall pick, Darryn Peterson, and the Grizzlies’ No. 3 overall pick, Cameron Boozer. (Ian Maule/AP file)
For the now-rebuilding Grizzlies, the schedule means fewer national television contests but a return to host status on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and the potential return of lots of familiar faces.

Chris Herrington has covered the Memphis Grizzlies, in one way or another, since the franchise’s second season in Memphis, while also writing about music, movies, food and civic life. As far as he knows, he’s the only member of the Professional Basketball Writers Association who is also a member of a film critics group and has also voted in national music critic polls for Rolling Stone and the Village Voice (RIP). He now splits his time between Minneapolis-St. Paul, where his wife works, and Memphis.
