3. Full health

As mentioned earlier, the Grizzlies have continued to struggle with injuries. However, Chandler Parsons is back in the starting lineup after knee trouble. It’s now, hopefully, only a matter of time before Parsons regains his rhythm and form from his Dallas and Houston days.

Brandan Wright has also hinted that he’s close to a return to play following an ankle debridement. After being mentioned in a tweet about a possible return, Wright had this to say:

Wright will also need time to regain his pre-injury form, but doesn’t a completely healthy roster (besides Deyonta Davis) excite the hell out of you? While the healing is truly a process, the idea of a healthy roster heading into 2017 feels like a dream that could finally come true (*knocks on wood*). If healthy, I believe the Grizzlies can earn the third or fourth seed in the West.
