Penny Hardaway removes Rasheed Wallace from Memphis bench

Posted Jan 19, 2022
Rasheed Wallace joined the Memphis staff of head coach Penny Hardaway in the offseason but now is in “a consultant’s role,” Hardaway said Wednesday. Hardaway said Wallace’s absence is a mutual decision based on “health and safety” concerns, according to The Commercial Appeal in Memphis. That suggests COVID-19 was a factor but it’s not clear.
