Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandan Wright will be sidelined indefinitely due to a right knee injury he suffered on Saturday.
Wright underwent an MRI exam and it revealed a sprained medial collateral ligament. The Grizzlies said his injury will not require surgery.
“This is an unfortunate development for Brandan and our team,” Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace said in a statement. “Brandan had been playing his best basketball of the season recently and showing the positive impact he has on our roster. We expect a full recovery and will have further updates when appropriate.”
The 6-foot-10 Wright is shooting 67.3 percent from the field and averaging 6.9 points in 12 games with Memphis.
Wright is in his eighth NBA season and the Grizzlies are his seventh NBA team.
