Rewind a few months and in the eyes of most NBA fans, the Memphis Grizzlies don’t stand much of a chance at making the NBA Playoffs. A 2019-20 squad in full health couldn’t manage to achieve a winning record, so how could a team without Jaren Jackson Jr. and Justise Winslow improve upon their record last year?
Even their star point guard Ja Morant was out for a while earlier in the season after a scary injury in the team’s third game of the season.
