Brooks Leaves Game With Grade Ii Mcl Sprain

Dillon Brooks Injured in Grizzlies' Preseason Loss to Clippers

Brooks Leaves Game with Grade II MCL Sprain

Memphis Grizzlies guard Dillon Brooks left Saturday's preseason game against the LA Clippers after rolling his left ankle early in the second quarter. An MRI on Sunday confirmed a Grade II MCL sprain in Brooks' left knee.

Parsons Also Injured

In addition to Brooks's injury, Grizzlies forward Chandler Parsons is also dealing with right knee soreness. Parsons left the game in the third quarter and did not return.

Brooks's Injury Status

Brooks is the Grizzlies' longest-tenured player heading into his fifth NBA season. He is expected to be out for an extended period of time with his MCL sprain. The team has not yet announced a timetable for his return.

Conclusion

The injuries to Brooks and Parsons are a setback for the Grizzlies, who are already without star point guard Ja Morant due to a knee injury. The team will need to rely on other players to step up in the absence of their injured stars. Brooks's injury is particularly concerning, as he is a key part of the Grizzlies' defense and a valuable contributor on offense. The team will hope that he can return to action soon.
