Ben McLemore (foot) to return for Grizzlies in two weeks

Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard Ben McLemore (foot surgery) is expected to return to game action in approximately two weeks, the team announced on Tuesday.

What It Means:

McLemore was expected to start at shooting guard for the Grizzlies after they signed him to a two-year deal over the summer, so he'll likely replace Andrew Harrison in the first unit once he's ready to make his season debut. Even once McLemore returns, Wayne Selden (quad) is also close to playing and Tyreke Evans figures to remain involved in Memphis' rotation.

numberFire's models project McLemore for 10.3 points on 41.4 percent shooting from the field and 1.4 3-pointers on 37.1 percent shooting from deep with 2.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 25.7 minutes per game over the remainder of the season.
