Memphis’ Ziaire Williams out for 4-6 weeks due to patellar tendinitis

Ziaire Williams will be out for four to six weeks due to pain from patellar tendinitis, the Memphis Grizzlies announced via Twitter.

Williams started experiencing pain in early October that shelved him out for the team’s last two preseason contests. He was placed on a day-to-day basis and has missed their first four regular season games.

The second-year man averaged 8.1 points and 2.1 rebounds in 21.7 minutes last season, appearing in 62 games (31 starts).
