The Grizzlies are in talks with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar about joining their coaching staff.
The legendary center sat in on the team's practice Monday morning. Several sources confirmed to the Memphis Commercial Appeal that Abdul-Jabbar will entertain joining the organization.
The Grizzlies asked for and received permission from the Lakers to talk with Abdul-Jabbar.
He is under contract with the Lakers, but the Los Angeles Daily News reported earlier this month that Abdul-Jabbar's interaction with center Andrew Bynum would decrease this season.
