But the Grizzlies’ ended up with a bigger concern than their 21 turnovers and 35-percent shooting in a bad loss to the lowly Hornets. Center Marc Gasol suffered what is believed to be a hyperextended left knee midway through the fourth quarter. The 7-footer was examined by the Hornets’ team physician and then went for an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to determine the extent of his injury.

The Grizzlies were already scheduled to remain in New Orleans Sunday night and fly to Minneapolis this morning. So Gasol’s status will be known long before Memphis plays on the road Tuesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
