A new Sabo collectible figure wearing a Memphis Grizzlies jersey has been unveiled as part of the official One Piece and NBA crossover. The figure is available for pre-order now for US$143 and is scheduled to release in February 2027. This launch arrives as the real Memphis Grizzlies are working to improve their recent form, which includes a 132-101 loss to the Houston Rockets on April 13, 2026.
What is the new Sabo Memphis Grizzlies figure?
The figure, produced by Banpresto, stands about 19 centimeters tall. It shows Sabo dribbling a basketball while wearing the Grizzlies' signature navy blue jersey. His jersey number is 0320, a direct nod to his birthday of March 20 within the One Piece story.
According to Toy People, the collectible is part of the fifth wave of the Master Stars Piece series. It's currently up for pre-order through the Jump Ichiban website and other official channels. Fans won't have to wait long for the next wave, as this one completes the full 10-figure collection.
Why does this crossover matter for the Grizzlies brand?
This collaboration places the Memphis Grizzlies in a major global pop culture event. The full lineup was first shown at an NBA House event in Japan in April 2026. Featuring in such a high-profile series helps maintain the team's visibility during the NBA offseason.
It also connects with a fanbase that might not follow basketball closely. For the Grizzlies, building this kind of cultural relevance is key for long-term growth. You can explore the team's current roster and stats on our [squad](/squad) and [stats](/stats) pages.
What is the context around the real Memphis Grizzlies?
The team's recent on-court performance has been challenging. Their last result was a 132-101 defeat by the Houston Rockets on April 13, 2026. Over their last five games, the Grizzlies have a record of 0 wins and 5 losses.
That's a difficult stretch for any NBA team. Head coach Taylor Jenkins and players like Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. will be focused on turning things around before the next season tips off. Improving their perimeter defense and three-point percentage will be essential.
What else is in the One Piece x NBA collection?
The fifth wave isn't just Sabo. It also includes a figure of Portgas D. Ace dressed in a New York Knicks jersey. The entire crossover project kicked off in late 2025 with a Gear 5 Monkey D. Luffy figure.
Collectors now have access to all ten figures in the set. This release strategy keeps engagement high over a long period. For the Grizzlies, being part of this final wave gives the announcement extra weight as the collection concludes.
