Karim López had a solid debut in the G League with the Memphis Hustle, despite the loss of 101-98 to the Osceola Magic. The Mexican finished with 16 points, nine rebounds, four assists, and three blocks, just one short of achieving his first double-double.

The 19-year-old forward had made his NBA debut on October 29 with the Memphis Grizzlies, with whom he has played three games, totaling 11 minutes, two rebounds, and one block. Selected 21st in the 2026 Draft by the Detroit Pistons and later traded to Memphis, López is part of the franchise's future plans.
