    "Grizzlies forward Darrell Arthur said it would take a broken leg to remove him from the team's playoff chase.

    So it probably should come as no surprise that Arthur showed no ill effects from a leg injury that forced him to leave the game Saturday night in the fourth quarter.

    Arthur landed awkwardly after his second consecutive block, and writhed in pain before a timeout was called with 3:23 left in the game. X-rays taken after the game were negative.

    Arthur said what appeared to be a bad ankle sprain at the time turned out to be a bruised shin.

    "It wasn't that bad," Arthur said. "It wasn't that serious. It was too high to be an ankle sprain. Plus, I've always had good ankles. Even if it was, I was going back in. I'm not missing any more games."

    Arthur finished with three blocks to go with eight points and seven rebounds - all on the defensive glass."
