Having secured a spot in the National Basketball Association (NBA) playoffs, the Memphis Grizzlies team decided to rest its key players and allow them to bounce back once and for all before the final game of the regular season.
Memphis Grizzlies / Schedule
It was announced on Twitter that Jonas Valančiūnas (back pain), Ja Morantas (back pain), Jaren Jackson (knee pain), Doug McDermott (leg pain), Brandon Clarke (thigh pain) will miss the game against the Sacramento Kings. Dillon Brooks (knee pain), Kyle Anderson (finger pain), and Grayson Allen (abdominal pain).
In the game against the Sacramento team last night, Valančiūnas spent 33 minutes on the floor, scoring 24 points, and suffered no 13 rebounds or major injuries, and the grizzly celebrated the victory (116: 110).
Apart from Valančiūnas, only Allen and McDermott did not play in the last game on the list of these injured basketball players, and Morantas spent 38 minutes on the field.
Such a grizzly decision to rest your leaders is completely logical. The game with the Kings doesn’t matter, and Sunday’s final regular-season game against the Auckland Golden State Warriors (33-37) will be disastrous. Its winner will take eighth place in the Western Conference and an extra chance to climb to the playoffs.
Currently, the Grizzlies (33-37), who are in the ninth stage of the Western Conference, have secured a spot in the Play-in tournament, but eighth place would give the Valančiūnas club two games to reach the playoffs. , and the ninth place should be won twice in a row and at least one failure would complete the Memphis team’s season.
