Live commentary from 12:50pm  

Welcome to live commentary of the first of two New Zealand Breakers matchups against NBA opposition.

The NBL side has travelled to Memphis to take on the Grizzlies and their star draft recruit JA Morant. 

The guard was selected with the second overall pick earlier this year, behind the much-hyped Zion Williamson who landed at New Orleans.

The pre-season hitout provides an opportunity for the Breakers high-profile import. RJ Hampton to impress the many NBA scouts that will be attendance at the FedExForum.
