Grizzlies assistant coach Barry Hecker left the team during the Western Conference semifinal against the Thunder for what Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said is a “personal matter.”
Hollins said after the team’s shootaround Monday morning that Hecker’s departure is “nothing that’s public consumption.”
Hecker was with the Grizzlies for their Game 2 win in Oklahoma City but was not with the team in Memphis for their Game 3 win Saturday night. Team officials said only that Hecker is no longer with the Grizzlies.
Hecker had been on Hollins’ staff in Memphis the past five seasons.
