Pistons vs. Grizzlies: Play-by-play, highlights and reactions

James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
I know Detroit is without 3.5 starters tonight, but a loss to this Grizzlies team would be pretty bad, honestly, considering Ivey, Duren and Sasser are still playing.
Memphis starters: GG Jackson, LaRavia, Jemison, Goodwin and Pippen Jr.
So, yeah. – 7:59 PM

Out with the old, in with the new.
Looks like the Grizzlies replaced the ZBo jersey retirement record with a new banner.
Marc Gasol’s banner is expected to go up tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/gfcx1yH7qR – 6:30 PM

The Bucks have dropped two in a row to Memphis and Washington.
So, you’re telling me there’s a chance the Raptors could break this losing streak right?! – 3:48 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
Grayson Allen (left hip soreness) sticking to being probable for Friday’s game vs. T-Wolves after missing Wednesday’s win vs. Cavaliers, but addressed fracturing hip back in 2020 while with Memphis Grizzlies.
He wound up playing in the Orlando bubble that 2019-20 season. #Suns pic.twitter.com/gm7uXSmAfA – 2:40 PM

Marc Gasol was asked if he finds himself defending Memphis amid negative commentary.
“I believe in the power of sports… Sports have to encourage kids to take different paths.”

Marc Gasol said he’s proud of Santi Aldama, and sees parts of himself in Aldama with their similarities as Spanish basketball players in a Grizzlies uniform. – 2:28 PM
