Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will not play with the Grizzlies again this season
It’s not the most spectacular operation of the year, but it’s enough to justify a stay in the infirmary until the end of the season. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope he just had surgery on his pinky this Thursday and will miss the rest of the season.
This surgical procedure was intended to correct “ mismatch » from his right little finger determines the franchise. Il « he is expected to be fully recovered for the start of the 2026/27 season “. Eight months to heal a crooked little finger: fans can hope the timing is respected.”
The surgery ends what is still a mixed bag for the back that the Magic traded for Desmond Bain last summer. In Memphis, “KCP” has lost the starter status it previously enjoyed in Denver, Washington or with the Lakers.
With, as in Orlando, difficulty finding the target: 8.4 points on average on 41% shooting, including 31.6% from distance, among the worst percentages of his career. By putting it in the refrigerator until the next season, while Ja Morant is still in the infirmarywe can infer the Grizzlies’ intention to give up the run in the final stages.
Currently 11th, Memphis is riding a four-game losing streak, six wins behind the 10th-ranked Clippers. Cam Spencer, Walter Clayton and Jahmai Mashak should see their playing time extended at the end of the season without any potential challenges.
