WROTEN TO MISS 4 WEEKS DUE TO ANKLE SPRAIN, SELBY EXPECTED TO FILL VOID
MEMPHIS -- In Memphis' win over the Clippers, rookie guard Tony Wroten Jr. leaped for a rebound and severly sprained his ankle in the 3rd quarter. Grizzlies medical staff diagnose that the injury is not serious, but Wroten could miss up to 4 weeks of playing time, pending an MRI scheduled for Thursday morning. Wroten played 11 minutes off the bench before his injury in Wednesday night's contest. Josh Selby is expected to fill in until Wroten's return.
A second-year man out of Kansas, Josh Selby averaged 2.3 points, 1.1 assists, and 8.5 minutes in 28 games played last season.
