When asked if it was normal practice that he required players to watch film on the off day Zimmer said, "A lot of times, yeah, I'll do that. I'll tell them to do that." Though a minor detail, the extra study time will be important during this difficult stretch in the final six weeks of the season.
Mike Conley was in Minneapolis, where he sounded the Gjallarhorn at the Vikings game, on Sunday during the robbery.
