Rudy Gay Sidelined at Least a Month

Filed under: Grizzlies, NBA Injuries

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Grizzlies forward Rudy Gay will miss at least four weeks with a left shoulder injury, a potentially serious blow to Memphis' playoff chances.

Gay suffered the injury in the second quarter of Tuesday night's 102-91 win against the Philadelphia 76ers.

An MRI Wednesday showed a partial dislocation of the shoulder.

The 6-foot-8 forward will begin rehabilitation in a week and be re-evaluated in four weeks, the team said Wednesday in a statement.

Gay is averaging 19.8 points per game and six rebounds per game
