PORTLAND, OR – APRIL 25: Mike Conley /

The Memphis Grizzlies are finally fully healthy for the first time in over a year. Conley’s heel, which has been injured for over three years is finally healthy. Conley’s season ending surgery at the beginning of last season to remove a bone spur cleared that issue in his heel up. I can never guarantee what will happen in terms of health with this team, but the team history outside of Gasol looks great.

The only reason I can not guarantee Gasol’s health is his age. Factoring age and weight early in his career on that left foot he had surgery on, Gasol isn’t guaranteed much. If he stays healthy, which is most likely the case, Memphis will be back in the playoff hunt throughout next season.

When this team is healthy, it makes FedEx Forum rock on a night when the Grizzlies are ruled an underdog (which is most nights), and this Grizzlies team is causing their opponents fits.
