Memphis Coach Taylor Jenkins said before the Grizzlies’ game Friday at Minnesota, “We can’t wait to get back home to put our arms around everyone in Memphis as they struggle with a loss of life, a senseless loss of life.”
that said, “our players mourn the loss of Tyre Nichols and extend our deepest sympathies and condolences to the Nichols family during this difficult time. Our hearts go out to the entire Memphis community as they are processing and dealing with this horrible tragedy, and we stand by the rightful arrest of all officers involved.
Such aggressive policing and excessive force illustrate the continued need for accountability in the justice system. We will continue to monitor the investigation and legal proceedings in search of justice for Tyre and his family.”In its own statement, the league said “the NBA family remains committed to partnering with advocates, policymakers an law enforcement to work toward solutions to the issues we continue to face.” The WNBA struck a similar tone in its response.
