He will miss tonight’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans (7:30 ET, TNT) and if he returns in two weeks, he would likely be able to play on Nov. 30 on the road against the Timberwolves. A three-week timeline would have him back in the lineup in the first week of December, when Memphis plays six of its first seven games that month at home.
