Grizzlies F Casspi to undergo knee surgery

Memphis Grizzlies forward Omri Casspi is scheduled to undergo surgery next week after an MRI revealed a meniscus tear in his right knee, the team announced Friday. Casspi, 30, has averaged 6.3 points and 3.2 rebounds in 36 games off the bench this season. The 10-year veteran has appeared in 588 career games, including 145 starts.

The Grizzlies will establish a timeline for Casspi's recovery after he undergoes surgery. The Israel native scored 18 points and pulled down five rebounds Jan. 25 against the Sacramento Kings before his injury. --Field Level Media
