NBA players chime in on Grizzlies firing Fizdale
David Fizdale had his fair share of supporters across the league, so when it was revealed that the Memphis Grizzlies had reportedly relieved him of his head coaching duties on Monday, it became impossible for them to remain quiet.
Memphis is currently in the midst of an eight-game losing streak, with All-Star center Marc Gasol's benching in Sunday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets perhaps being the straw that broke the camel's back.
Several players chimed in on social media once the news broke, with the consensus being that the Grizzlies made the wrong call.

Vince Carter spent the past three seasons with the Grizzlies under Fizdale before joining the Sacramento Kings, and also disapproved of Memphis' decision.
