Grizzlies' P.J. Hairston: Expects to return this season

Coach Dave Joerger said Monday that Hairston (groin) is expected to play again this season, Ronald Tillery of The Commercial Appeal reports.

Hairston recently started participating in individual drills but hasn't competed on the court since March 14 while dealing with a left groin strain. The Grizzlies are in line to make the playoffs, so it's possible that Hairston could still miss the remainder of the regular season while making a comeback sometime in the playoffs.
