Dillon Brooks - Expected to return on road trip Brooks (ankle) is out Friday against the Knicks and is expected to return during the Grizzlies' upcoming four-game road trip, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports. Impact A sprained left ankle has kept Brooks out since early January. While the Grizzlies have played well without him, his presence will be huge down the stretch and into the playoffs. When seeing at least 30 minutes this season, he averaged 20.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.2 steals. Brooks figures to have a significant minutes restriction in his first few games back, but fantasy managers that have held on for the whole season will finally get some production near the end of the fantasy season. His return will also presumably bump Ziaire Williams from the starting five, and John Konchar figures to have his role reduced as well.
