    MRI scheduled for tomorrow. According to the post game Jazz reports, Memo said he heard a pop, which is common for a ruptured/torn achillies tendon. Bad news, and sad that such a good guy could possibly be on the shelf for 10-12 months. It's the achillies that has been having tendinitis for the past month or so too, so definitely not good news for Utah.

    Ouch. I knew Utah wasn't going to be able to do anything this year, but now Utah will have 10M of dead cap since Memo should be out 10-12 months. For an aging big man, this could be an injury that ends his career of being his effective self. Hopefully he can recover, and Utah keeps him around as C off the bench.

    This also will change plans for this summer IMO now that Utah really needs some size.


    Edit: Apparently he's out for 3-6 months but isn't this same injury Brand had?
