Grizzlies' Karim López to begin NBA career with new jersey number
After previously wearing a couple of jersey numbers, Mexican center Karim López chose a new one to begin his career in the NBA with the Grizzlies.
Mexican center Karim López will become the sixth Grizzly to wear the number 35 jersey when he joins the Memphis team. López previously played under No. 21 with Joventut Badalona in Spain and No. 1 with the New Zealand Breakers in the NBL. The 21st overall draft pick will fill the jersey vacated by Christian Koloko last season. López averaged double-digit points and rebounds last season while playing for the Breakers, and he became the first Mexican-born player selected in the first round of the NBA draft.
The Grizzlies' roster now includes López alongside other young players like Cedric Coward, Zach Edey, Jaylen Wells, and Taylor Hendricks.
