Memphis Grizzlies power forward Zach Randolph did not attend the team’s shootaround today after being involved in a car accident on Monday morning, according to Commercial Appeal.

According to a source with knowledge of the accident, a vehicle rear-ended Randolph on the freeway in Memphis. Although Randolph did not leave the scene in an ambulance, it is not known whether he suffered any injuries.

In mid-March, Randolph returned to the Grizzlies after missing nearly three months with a right knee injury.  This season, the power forward is averaging 12.3 points and 7.4 rebounds per game.

The Grizzlies (32-23) are set to play the Los Angeles Clippers (34-22) tonight in Memphis.

Memphis Grizzlies star forward Zach Randolph will miss up to eight weeks due to a slight tear of his MCL on his right knee, according to The Commercial Appeal.

It was reported yesterday that Randolph was expected to miss some time with a bruised right knee, however an MRI has revealed a slight tear which require a much longer recovery period than initially expected. According to The Commercial Appeal, Randolph will not require surgery and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

The 30-year-old injured the knee when he fell hard in the final seconds of the first quarter against the Chicago Bulls on Sunday.

The former All-Star has averaged just 14.8 points and 7.5 rebounds through the Grizzlies’ first four games this season. Last year he gained national attention when he helped fuel Memphis to a playoff berth despite the injury to franchise superstar Rudy Gay. Randolph averaged 20.1 points and 12.2 rebounds per game last season.
