Los Angeles, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 21st Oct, 2018 ) :Memphis Grizzlies forward JaMychal Green underwent surgery to repair a broken jaw and could be out of the lineup for a month, the NBA club announced on Saturday.
The 28-year-old American suffered the injury after taking an elbow to the face in Friday's 131-117 win over the Atlanta Hawks.
"Green suffered a broken jaw during the third quarter of yesterday's game against the Hawks," a spokesman for the team said.
In 14 minutes of playing time in the season home opener, Green scored six points. In two games, he is averaging 8.1 points and 6.1 rebounds.
The loss of Green opens the door for Memphis to get rookie Jaren Jackson into the starting lineup.
The number four overall pick in June's NBA Draft had 24 points and seven rebounds in the Grizzlies' victory over Atlanta.
Green averaged 10.3 points and 8.4 rebounds in 55 games for the Grizzlies last season.
