The Canadian was in the midst of another solid season in Memphis, averaging double figures for the fourth straight year. He was putting up 10 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.3 assists across 56 games on the year, including eight starts.
The 38-24 Grizzlies will now be without a key rotation piece as they look to remain at the top of the Western Conference, currently possessing the No. 2 seed.
