The Grizzlies planned to give away 3,000 promotional Allen Iverson jerseys on Dec. 4 against the Mavericks.

Instead, the team will give fans Marc Gasol jersey t-shirts.

Team officials immediately ordered the Gasol shirts as a replacement after Iverson agreement to terminate his contract on Nov. 16.

The Grizzlies plan to ship the unused jerseys to Tanzania, the birthplace of rookie center Hasheem Thabeet.

The NBA's charity program, Basketball Without Borders, will facilitate the shipment.

"We are thrilled to partner with Hasheem Thabeet and the NBA's international program Basketball Without Borders," team president of business operations Greg Campbell said before adding, "This also gives us the opportunity to recognize Marc Gasol for his inspiring start to the season."
