Dampier looking to deal

Warriors Center Erick Dampier could be a hot commodity in this summer's free agent market. Not only is he having the best season of his career, but he will also have the opportunity to opt out of the final two years, $17 million of his contract.

Dampier, second in the NBA in offensive rebounds per game (4.5), fifth in field goal percentage (.516) and sixth in double-doubles (31), is not showing his hand about what he wants to do after this season. But it's clear he's going to look around.

"I'm going to make that decision sometime this summer," said Dampier. "Right now, my goal is to finish the season strong and see what happens."

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) The Memphis Grizzlies activated rookie forward Theron Smith for Saturday night's game against the New Orleans Hornets.

Smith has played in just one game this season. He had been sidelined since Nov. 21 with an injured right knee.

Memphis sets playoff tickets prices

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) The Memphis Grizzlies are getting ready for what could be the franchise's first trip to the playoffs, announcing postseason ticket prices Wednesday.

With a little less than two months left in the regular season, the Grizzlies are in sixth place in the Western Conference. The top eight teams in each NBA conference make the playoffs.

Memphis was 34-22 heading into Wednesday night's game against Golden State.

Season-ticket holders will be given priority for playoff purchases, and the Grizzlies will be sending them information over the next few days on how to reserve seats.

They will be able to buy playoff tickets at prices ranging from $9 to $130 for first-round games, compared with $12 to $155 for the general public. Season-ticket holders would receive similar discounts in later rounds if the Grizzlies advance.

The team also would continue its regular-season tradition of selling 500 tickets on game day for $5 each.
