The team won 40 of their 82 games, the most they’ve won in a season since Gay’s arrival. The 6ft 8in, 23-year-old averaged 19.6 points and 5.9 rebounds per game last season – his fourth with the Grizzlies. The big story on Day One of the NBA’s 2011 free agency period was Memphis Grizzlies’ star forward Rudy Gay re-signing with them on a five-year deal worth about $82m.
