The Memphis Grizzlies have re-signed Tony Allen to a four-year contract worth $20 million, a person familiar with the agreement said Tuesday.
Allen is one of the league’s best perimeter defenders and a key to the Grizzlies’ run to the Western Conference finals last season. He drew interest from other teams but decided to stick with a Memphis team coming off the best season in franchise history.
”Memphis stand up!!!!” Allen wrote on his Twitter page.
”Thank you Lord for all that you’ve done and all that (you’re) doing in my life. I am so grateful and humbled.”
