Health or High Water

Any conversation about Chandler Parsons obviously must begin with his health. Parsons has brought new meaning to the term “bum knee;” his being currently the most expensive body part in the entire NBA.

If Parsons can suit up in half this season’s games, it would be his first time doing so as a Grizzly. That’s a tragically low bar to set, but such is reality for Memphis. Parsons being even remotely close to fully healthy has to be taken as a win.

Of course, the last time we saw him healthy seemed like eons ago. What exactly can be expected of him if so?
