MEMPHIS, Tenn.— The Memphis Grizzlies are expected to introduce Lionel Hollins as their new coach at a news conference tomorrow.

The Grizzlies fired coach Marc Iavaroni on Thursday and Johnny Davis acted as interim coach on Friday, when Memphis lost 108-88 at New York.

Memphis general manager Chris Wallace told reporters in New York the team club hoped to sign Hollins, a Milwaukee assistant. Wallace said he wanted Hollins to be able to run practices before Tuesday's game with Denver.

Hollins has already served as an interim coach for the Grizzlies twice, going 18-46.
