The Grizzlies announced Monday that David Fizdale will no longer be coaching the team.

The news came as a surprise to many, even though Memphis was struggling this season. He had success last season, bringing an injury-plagued Grizzlies team to a 43-39 record. Injuries bit Memphis again in 2017, but this time the wins just weren't coming. 

As the news spread about Fizdale's firing, many in the NBA community reacted, including players and members of the media.
