You Can Go On Ignoring the Grizzlies

Memphis owner Michael Heisley wanted to find a way to get fans to care about the recently moribund Grizzlies. He thought he’d found the Answer (sometimes it’s just too easy).

↵But not so fast. Michael Lee of the Washington Post reports Iverson will sit out tonight’s preseason game against the Wizards due to a strained hamstring and is scheduled to have an MRI tomorrow. For a player whose game totally relies on his quickness, this is a potentially devastating injury, at least in the short-term. For Grizzlies - and basketball - fans’ sake, let’s hope this doesn’t turn into a Jose Reyes situation.

↵So until Iverson returns, feel free to go on living your life, completely oblivious to the fate of a certain NBA franchise on the Mississippi (sorry O.J Mayo and Rudy Gay).
