MEMPHIS, Tenn. — While there's major excitement surrounding the Memphis Grizzlies as they get set to host the L.A. Lakers for their first-round NBA Western Conference playoffs matchup Sunday, there's also a potential major conflict in the schedule, which had to be cleared up by the FedExForum Wednesday.
Wednesday, the NBA released their full first-round playoff schedule, with the Grizzlies and Lakers squaring off Sunday in Memphis for Game 1.
Unless either side wins in a four-game sweep, a fifth game is scheduled for Wednesday, April 26 at FedExForum. However, that was the same day four-time GRAMMY Award-winning Hip-Hop star Lizzo was scheduled to bring her North American The Special 2our tour to the FedExForum.
The FedExForum announced later Wednesday the concert will be rescheduled for Monday, April 24.
All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new date and additional tickets are on sale at ticketmaster.com, the FedExForum said.
The Grizzlies said for anyone who is unable to attend and wants a refund, they have the next seven days to request one from the original point of purchase.
Lizzo announced the Memphis concert back in November, 2022, and tickets went on sale to the general public that same month.
The Memphis stop is one of 17 cities Lizzo will be stopping in as part of the tour in 2023.
