The Memphis Grizzlies have faced a myriad of big-time injuries — the loss of Marc Gasol, then Mike Conley Jr. who returned heroically for the playoffs and now their new signing, Chandler Parsons.

Parsons' last season was cut short as he dealt with an injury that required season-ending surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee.

His new team will bring him along slowly as he's set to be a limited participant in training camp.

A meniscus procedure is always a touchy recovery process, as the amount of torque needed at an NBA level can be simply massive if the joint hasn't fully healed.

“There's no swelling, no pain,” Parsons told Rotowire. “I have been progressing every week, doing more and more. Starting off with the bike, then the elliptical, then the pool workouts, and now I'm pretty much on the court, more lifting weights, box jumps, different kinds of agility stuff. I'm building up that strength and getting more comfortable with it.”

The 6-foot-10 small forward has evolved into a three-point threat, knocking down 41.4 percent of his attempts for the Dallas Mavericks last year.

In his five years in the league (three with Houston, two with Dallas) he's proven to be a versatile wing with a well-rounded skill set, often scoring in the mid-teens.

Chandler Parsons had a very promising year with the Mavericks and he's bound to give the Grizzlies a much-needed scoring punch. He shot a career-high 49.2 percent from the field last season.
