Nov 21 (The Sports Xchange) -
Memphis Grizzlies forward Chandler Parsons is out for up to two
weeks with chronic discomfort in his left knee.
Parsons, who joined the Grizzlies as a free agent on a $94 million
contract in July, has twice had his right knee surgically repaired.
According to ESPN.com, Parsons has no structural damage in the knee.
Rehab from his most recent right knee surgery caused Parsons' debut
with the Grizzlies to be delayed until Nov. 6 and he remained on a
playing time restriction.
In six games, Parsons is averaging 7.7 points and 3.0 rebounds. His
career scoring average is 14.2 per game.
