Memphis Grizzlies hire Robb Hornett as head strength and conditioning coach

The Memphis Grizzlies are adding Robb Hornett to the organization as the team's head strength and conditioning coach. Hornett previously served as the director of athletic performance for Olympic sports at Liberty University and held a similar position with the Memphis Tigers during the 2021-22 season. His appointment follows the June hiring of Mike Curtis, who leads the player health and performance staff. This move is part of an ongoing restructuring of the training and medical departments after a season significantly impacted by player injuries. In addition to these personnel changes, the Grizzlies recently transitioned their sports medicine partnership from OrthoSouth to the Campbell Clinic. The team begins its preseason schedule on Oct. 5 against the Atlanta Hawks, followed by the regular season opener against the Utah Jazz on Oct. 21.
