If you’ve made it a goal to attend one Grizzlies game this season, but you haven’t picked which one yet, may I offer a suggestion… how about the Wednesday, February 29 game? That night the Grizzlies will partner with MIFA, with proceeds going to their Plus-1 program that helps families in need pay their utility bills. The Grizzlies host the Dallas Mavericks that night, and it’s possible that Z-Bo could be back by then. To buy tickets:
