Rudy Gay will wear a sling for another two weeks, then begin treatment on his surgically repaired left shoulder.

He won't be allowed to participate in contact activities for another four months, but is expected to be ready for training camp in October. Although players, coaches and media didn't harp on Gay's absence, the Griz made a surprising playoff run without their best perimeter player.

"Once we get Rudy back, we'll be back to having a complete team," Griz guard Mike Conley said. "And now we know what it's like to be in this position. That combination will make us a lot better."

Gay has been sidelined since Feb. 15 with a partially separated left shoulder.
