The Memphis Grizzlies on Monday re-signed center Marc Gasol to a multiyear contract. Per team policy, terms of the deal are not disclosed.

“Re-signing Marc Gasol was the No. 1 priority for our organization this offseason,” General Manager Chris Wallace said. “For many years, Marc has been a pillar of our franchise and in a Memphis community that has watched him become one of the best basketball players in the world, so this is a great day for our team, our city and our fans.”

Last season, Gasol averaged a career-high 17.4 points on 49.4 percent shooting, 7.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.62 blocks in 33.2 minutes in 81 games (all starts).

Gasol was the only player in the league with at least 1,300 points, 600 rebounds and 300 assists.
