Memphis, Tenn. — Grizz Gaming, the NBA 2K League affiliate of the Memphis Grizzlies, today announced a three-year partnership with Zipchair to become the Official Gaming Chair Partner of Grizz Gaming. As part of the partnership, Grizz Gaming is renovating the team’s practice facility and office space of the Grizz Gaming Studio at FedExForum with Zipchair providing Grizz Gaming-branded furniture in the space.
“We are thrilled to announce Zipchair as the Official Chair of Grizz Gaming,” said Lang Whitaker, Grizz Gaming General Manager and Head Coach. “Grizz Gaming is committed to providing our gamers with all of the necessary resources to compete at the highest level of the NBA 2K League. Zipchair offers our team the best gaming experience in terms of comfort and durability to help us excel in the upcoming 2021 NBA 2K League season. We couldn’t be more excited about our partnership, and we look forward to growing our relationship with Zipchair for years to come.”
Through the partnership, Grizz Gaming will use Zipchair’s PhantomX gaming chair across Grizz Gaming streams, events and team content.
