"Grizzlies power forward Zach Randolph is clutching a pair of black crutches instead of rebounds these days.

He wears a somber expression and not that familiar game-time scowl.

It has been two weeks since the Grizzlies' heart and soul suffered a slight tear of the medial collateral ligament in his right knee. The bad news is Randolph still is looking at four to six additional weeks of recovery time.

The good news is he'll begin a rehabilitation regimen this week after receiving nothing but rest since the injury occurred during a Jan. 1 loss at Chicago."
