"Yeah, they told me next year I'm going to get my jersey retired," Allen confirmed.

Allen will be the third Grizzlies player to have a jersey in the rafters, joining Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol.

Originally slated for the 2021-22 season, the jersey retirement ceremony was postponed due to Allen's involvement in legal matters.

Allen spent seven seasons with the Grizzlies, and every year they made it to the playoffs. In 2013, they even reached the Western Conference Finals.

Across his 14-season NBA career, Allen has maintained an average of 8.1 points and 3.5 rebounds over 820 games. Beyond Memphis, he also left his mark with stints at the Boston Celtics and New Orleans Pelicans.
