The Memphis Grizzlies acquired veteran forward Andre Iguodala from the Golden State Warriors in a trade back in July. Since then, there has been little indication that Iguodala plans to suit up for the franchise. Despite that, the NBA Store's official website has still listed his jersey available for purchase in the Grizzlies' primary uniform combinations.

The main issue with that? The No. 9 jersey was worn for years by Grizzlies fan favorite Tony Allen, who suited up for the franchise from 2010-17. Once alerted of the Iguodala conundrum, Allen took to Twitter to come up with a plan of his own to settle any perceived dispute:

While it could merely be some advantageous marketing by the website, it appears at least that the powder blue-colored Iguodala jersey is something of a hot seller, earning itself an “Almost Gone!” tag.

Iguodala has rocked the No. 9 ever since the start of the 2005-06 season, donning it for all three franchises that he has suited up for in Philadelphia, Denver and Golden State. Unfortunately for Grizzlies fans that have already made their purchase, it appears that the item will likely be merely regulated to the obscurity bin due to the unlikelihood that he ever takes the floor for the organization.

Should Memphis ultimately agree to a deal to move on from Iguodala, he could be in line to sport the No. 9 once again. At that point, Allen should reclaim full-time status of the jersey number he donned during a near decade of endearment to the Grizzlies' fan base.
