The Memphis Grizzlies are hitting the road to engage and interact with fans in a seven-city regional tour, according to a release from the team.
Select players, members of Grind City Media, and entertainment crews will travel to cities in nearby states to get players excited about the upcoming 2022-23 season.
The Grizzlies will not be competing in any non-NBA cities during the preseason, so they’re doing the next best thing: they’re coming to a city near you.

There will be 38 events beginning August 27 and running into October. The Grizzlies will have a presence at minor league baseball games, college football games, town festivals, carnivals, and concerts.
As Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, and the rest of the Grizzlies prepare for an exciting 2022-23 season, this is a great opportunity to hang out with some of the personnel and personalities closest to the Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies will begin training camp in September and compete in their first preseason game of the season on October 1 when they travel to Milwaukee to take on the Bucks.
