The Memphis Grizzlies are retiring number 50. In an open letter to Zach Randolph and Grizz Nation, Grizzlies management says “number 50 will never be worn by any other member of the Memphis Grizzlies,” in a tribute to all Z-bo has done for the city and the team.
The letter was published to the Grizzlies website Thursday. It says, in part:
“To Zach — Thank you for all the joy and magical moments too numerous to count. Thank you for the energy and excitement you brought each and every night to FedExForum. Thank you for your leadership and service. Thank you for your larger than life impact and for keeping all Memphians warm. Thank you.
While there will be a time and place to recognize your lasting impact in Memphis, starting today, as stated earlier by Controlling Owner, Robert Pera, number 50 will never be worn by any other member of the Memphis Grizzlies. “
Word came out earlier this week that Randolph has signed with the Sacramento Kings.
