Marc Gasol is no longer the Memphis Grizzlies' all-time leading scorer.

With a 3-pointer late in the second quarter of the team's matchup with the Golden State Warriors on Thursday (AEDT), Mike Conley passed his former teammate to become the franchise's all-time scoring list.


Rounding out the top five is Zach Randolph, Pau Gasol and Rudy Gay.

Grizzlies all-time scoring list
Rank Player Points
1 Mike Conley 11,689
2 Marc Gasol 11,684
3 Zach Randolph 9,261
4 Pau Gasol 8,966
5 Rudy Gay 8,562

According to the Grizzlies, Conley is now one of three players who currently lead a franchise in total points, 3-pointers made, assists, steals and games played.

The other two? LeBron James with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Reggie Miller with the Indiana Pacers.


Conley entered Thursday's game averaging a career-high 20.9 points per game, doing so on 43.6 percent shooting from the field and 36.6 percent from the 3-point line.

With two more years remaining on his current contract, Conley is only going to distance himself further from Gasol in the standings.

Point totals are accurate as of the end of the second quarter.
