Being six games into the 2018-19 regular season, the Memphis Grizzlies are doing fairly well at 4-2 overall.
They may not be breaking NBA records for three-pointers made in a game, but Memphis is finding better early-season success than the Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers, and other star-studded teams.
The Grizzlies entered the season being comfortable with an abundance of guards on their roster. Meanwhile, they did not have many options within their frontcourt at the power forward and center positions.
It was almost a given that the injury bug would strike within the season’s first week, considering the Memphis Grizzlies’ reputation with sustaining significant injuries.
