Sprained left ankle could sideline Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks five weeks, sources say
After suffering a sprained left ankle, Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks is expected to miss a minimum of three to five weeks, and could remain sidelined through the mid-February All-Star break, sources told ESPN on Sunday.
Brooks -- the surging Grizzlies second-leading scorer at 18.4 points a game -- injured the ankle in a victory over the LA Clippers on Saturday. Brooks is considered an immense part -- both offensively and defensively -- of the Western Conference's fourth-seeded Grizzlies.
Memphis (27-14) has won eight straight games ahead of Sunday night's game with the Los Angeles Lakers.
