Grizzlies' Jake LaRavia: Re-evaluated in 2-to-3 weeks

The Grizzlies announced Tuesday that LaRavia will undergo a procedure to address a corneal abrasion in his left eye and will be re-evaluated in 2-to-3 weeks.

The prolonged shutdown is a major blow to LaRavia, as the Grizzlies were giving him some G League reps in recent days to boost his confidence after a slow start to the campaign. His absence won't have any implications on the Grizzlies' rotation, though it prevents LaRavia from potentially capturing a steady role on the second unit while Memphis is now down six players due to injury and is still awaiting Ja Morant's return from suspension.
