Chalmers (Achilles) will undergo season-ending surgery Tuesday, according to his personal Twitter account.

Analysis:

After rupturing his Achilles in a game last Wednesday against the Celtics, Chalmers, who was set to become a free agent this summer, was released by the Grizzlies shortly thereafter, as the injury-ravaged team needed to open up a roster spot to add a healthy point guard. An official timetable for Chalmers' return hasn't yet been outlined, but it seems unlikely that he'll be ready to play at the start of next season.
