Memphis, with Spanish stars Gasol and newcomer Juan Carlos Navarro, plays European clubs Unicaja in Malaga and MMT Estudiantes in Madrid.
`NBA TEAM LIFE'
"It's great to be given the chance to play in Europe, and specifically Spain and my home country, to share our NBA team life with another country," Gasol said. "I'm excited about it. I hope it doesn't get too crazy. I hope people have fun and enjoy the game. And at the same time we would like to get ready for the season."
The four teams opened their training camps on Monday, a day before the rest of the NBA. Players will also take part in a number of community activities, including court refurbishments and the opening of a reading and learning center.
