What It Means:

The Grizzlies play in a back-to-back set that begins on Tuesday, and then have a home date with the Houston Rockets on Friday, so Parsons should be back for at least one of those. Expect him to be on a minutes limit upon return, but this will slash into the values of Troy Williams, James Ennis and Tony Allen.

Despite a 20.3 percent usage rate through six games, Parsons only logged 21.0 minutes a night prior to injury, and is averaging career-lows with 7.7 points, 3.0 rebounds and 0.8 3-pointers on a .473 true shooting percentage.
