The Memphis Grizzlies have strong representations within Nike. As it is, Ja Morant has partnered with the company to promote Swoosh, and the franchise star is set to have his second official signature shoe available in the market later this month. Another key member of the Grizzlies who has ties with Nike is Jaren Jackson Jr., who was instantly locked by the brand for a shoe deal during his rookie year in 2018-19. Beyond both Morant and Jackson Jr., Nike recently managed to hammer its commitment to another Grizzlies cager in the form of John Konchar.
JITTY SIGNS EXTENSION WITH NIKE
The majority might not be aware of it, but John Konchar is actually a member of the Nike family. During the 2022 offseason, the Swoosh brand offered him a multi-year apparel and endorsement deal which served as a major win following his contract extension with the franchise. As such, after two seasons, Nike is compelled to continue its work with the Memphis swingman. According to ESPN footwear expert and reporter Nick DePaula, the multinational company has inked a multi-year contract extension with Konchar.
A GREAT PLAYER OF HIS OWN He might not be bearing that kind of star power if compared to other big names of Nike, but Jitty managed to make huge noise out of himself as one of the Grizzlies’ reliable role players. He has been one of the team’s most important pieces of its success due to that versatility and dirty work, and many expect that those traits he possesses will be carried by him again once Memphis finally enters the 2024-25 season. Konchar, 28, averaged 4.3 points, 4.7 boards, and 2.0 assists across 55 games last season for the Grizzlies.
