A full breakdown of the Grizzlies’ 2023-24 82-game schedule

Following their tumultuous first-round exit at the hands of the Los Angeles Lakers last season, the Memphis Grizzlies have been on a mission this summer to re-tool their talent pool in the hope of bouncing back stronger during the 2023-24 campaign.

As of this writing, with their bevy of strong additions highlighted by the acquisition of veteran guard Marcus Smart, it appears the front office has set the club up rather nicely to accomplish such a goal.

Of course, the only thing standing in their way is a nearly two-month-long waiting period between now and the tip-off of Memphis’ regular season.

Though such a time gap may be unbearable to some, with the recent release of the NBA’s full regular season slate, at least Grizzlies fans can now have a feel for what their favorite organization will find themselves going up against on a nightly basis.
