The Memphis Grizzlies are set to begin the 2026-27 NBA season against the Utah Jazz on Oct. 21 at FedExForum. After a disappointing 25-57 record last season, the team is banking on a revamped roster featuring young, unproven talent, including rookie Cam Boozer. Coach Tuomas Iisalo is entering his second full season and aims to improve on last year's performance hindered by injuries. Possible strengths include rebounding and depth, while shooting and perimeter defense are identified as weaknesses. The trade deadline could significantly impact the team's dynamics if they struggle early in the season.
