Memphis Grizzlies wing Dillon Brooks has been out since early-January with a severe ankle sprain. But a return seems to be nearly for Brooks, as he's recently ramped up his activity.
Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins said that Brooks is "progressing well". The team's goal is for Brooks to take part in more contact drills next week. If all goes well, that points to an early-March return for the veteran wing.
Brooks has only played in 21 games this season. When he has played, Brooks has been Memphis' second-leading scorer at 18.4 points per game, which is a career-best. He's also averaged a career-high in rebounds (3.3), assists (2.7) and steals (1.2) per game.
