Former Celtics and Grizzlies guard Tony Allen will see his number retired by the Memphis Grizzlies on October 22nd. Allen played a key role in Boston's 2008 NBA Championship, but his defensive prowess truly flourished with the Grizzlies during their 'Grit and Grind' era.
On Oct. 22, the Celtics will raise Banner 18 to the TD Garden rafters. An integral member of their previous title team in 2008 will also see his number raised high above the hardwood.
In Memphis, Allen became a six-time All-Defensive selection, including three as a member of the First Team. He'll become the third player in franchise history to have his jersey number retired, joining Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol.
