The good news is that Chandler Parsons hasn't injured the right knee that was surgically repaired twice in the last two years. The bad news is that his left knee is now ailing.

The Memphis Grizzlies forward could miss up to two weeks with a bone bruise in his left knee, a source told ESPN's Tim MacMahon, and he's already been ruled out of Monday's game in Charlotte.

Parsons signed a four-year, $94-million contract with the Grizzlies in July. He missed the first six games of the season recovering from March surgery to repair a meniscus tear in his right knee - the same knee that underwent a microfracture procedure in May 2015.

The 28-year-old has yet to find his footing with the Grizzlies, averaging 7.7 points and three rebounds on 39 percent shooting in 21 minutes per game.
