In his first season as a member of the Memphis Grizzlies, small forward Kyle Anderson played in just 43 of 82 regular season games. He battled through lingering right shoulder issues, eventually being shut down by the team for the final 30 games.
This shoulder injury — which happens to be on Anderson’s shooting arm — was finally addressed via surgery on Thursday, according to the Memphis Grizzlies. This ailment has been hampering Kyle Anderson for “two or three years,” as told in the recent column by The Athletic‘s Omari Sankofa.
