The Memphis Grizzlies had a surprise onlooker at shootaround on Wednesday.
Former Oklahoma State men’s basketball coach Eddie Sutton made the trip down from Tulsa with his son, Stephen Sutton, and grandson, Stephen Jr., to visit with Memphis guard Tony Allen. Sutton was able to spend about 15 minutes with Allen, who played two seasons for Sutton in Stillwater, leading OSU to the Final Four in 2004.
Seated in a wheelchair with his grandson standing behind him, Sutton remarked on how great a player Allen was for him at Oklahoma State.
