Memphis Grizzlies wing Kentavious Caldwell-Pope left the game in the third quarter Nov. 12 against the Boston Celtics and won’t return because of right elbow soreness, the team announced.
Caldwell-Pope was injured after a Celtics player hit his elbow. He winced in pain and headed to the locker room at TD Garden in Boston.
Caldwell-Pope’s elbow has bothered him in recent games, but he has been able to play through the pain. He had no points and missed all three of his shots in 19 minutes.
