Chandler Parsons missed the Mavericks’ final 18 games last season, including the playoffs, due to knee problems.
Now with the Grizzlies, his games missed streak will hit 19.

Maybe this is just a blip. Parsons will get healthy soon enough and diversify Memphis’ offense.
But Dallas didn’t make a stronger push to keep Parsons due to his knees. We could look back on this and chastise the Grizzlies for signing someone to a max contract who wasn’t even ready to play in the first place. They have big plans for Parsons, but he must play for those to work.
Brandan Wright just can’t get healthy. Maybe Memphis will believe this injury warrants missing time.
