Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Pyramid Arena — The claim that the Grizzlies' last game at the Pyramid was in April 2004 is imprecise; their final home game there was on April 14, 2004.

Pyramid Arena — The claim that Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band performed the final concert in the building as a sports arena in February 2007 is incorrect; the final concert before its conversion to Bass Pro Shops was by 3 Doors Down on November 17, 2007.

Rudy Gay — Gay was not the third player in team history to average 20 points; Mike Miller also averaged 20.0 in 2006–07, making Gay at least the fourth.

Rudy Gay — Mike Miller's 45-point game was not a franchise record (Shareef Abdur-Rahim had 50), and it was a win, not a loss.

Zach Randolph — The claim that his jersey number 50 'has not been officially retired' is factually incorrect: the Memphis Grizzlies retired Zach Randolph's number 50 on December 11, 2021.

Zach Randolph — [contradicted] Randolph became a two-time NBA All-Star (2010 and 2012) :: Source says he was selected for his first NBA All Star Game in 2010 and named to his second All-Star game during the 2012–13 season, so the years 2010 and 2012 are incorrect (his first w

Penny Hardaway — He scored a 16 on his first ACT attempt, not a 17; the claim 'maximum of 17' is misleading and factually inaccurate as his initial score was 16.

Penny Hardaway — [contradicted] Hardaway scored a 16 on his first ACT attempt :: He took the ACT five times with a maximum score of 17.2, with 17.5 being required to be eligible to play in college.

Vancouver Grizzlies — The entry says the Grizzlies finished fourth in its division in 1997–98 ahead of the Golden State Warriors, but they actually finished last in the Midwest Division that season, and the Warriors were in a different division.

Pau Gasol — The LORE section says 'The Grizzlies, previously unable to win a playoff game, transformed under his leadership, defeating the top-seeded San Antonio Spurs in the 2011 opening round' – this is false because the Grizzlies had won playoff games in 2004 and 2005.

Pau Gasol — The LORE section claims Marc Gasol set a franchise record for field goal percentage as a rookie, surpassing Pau's 51.8% from 2001–02, but Pau's 51.8% was not the franchise record; Stromile Swift had a higher percentage (52.2%) in 2001–02, so the claim is inacc

Kurt Thomas — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section states Kurt Thomas was drafted 10th overall by the Miami Heat in 1995, making him the first TCU player selected in the first round since 1995. This is contradictory because he cannot be the first since 1995 if he was drafted in 1995;

Kurt Thomas — [contradicted] Kurt Thomas played for the Memphis Grizzlies from the 2001-02 season through the 2007-08 campaign :: The source says Kurt Thomas never played for the Memphis Grizzlies.

Zach Randolph — The entry states Randolph was a two-time NBA All-Star (2010 and 2013), but he was actually an All-Star in 2010 and 2012, not 2013.

Zach Randolph — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section states Randolph was the first Grizzlies player ever to score more than 31 points in a playoff game, but this is incorrect; other Grizzlies players had scored more than 31 points in a playoff game before him (e.g., Pau Gasol scored 36
