NBA professional basketball team season
The 2007–08 Memphis Grizzlies season was their 13th season in the National Basketball Association and seventh in Memphis. The Memphis Grizzlies failed to qualify for the Playoffs for the second straight season. They finished 14th in the Western Conference with an awful record of 22–60, being only marginally better than the 20-62 Seattle SuperSonics.
In February, Pau Gasol was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers for his younger brother Marc , who would play the following season.
As of 2023, there are three players on this team who are still active in the NBA (Mike Conley Jr. , Rudy Gay , and Kyle Lowry ), the most from any team from the 2007−08 season.
