Sources: Grizzlies PF Darrell Arthur out for season with torn Achilles

UPDATE: The Grizzlies announced Tuesday that Arthur will miss the season after an MRI exam confirmed a torn right Achilles tendon.

Memphis Grizzlies power forward Darrell Arthur left practice Sunday morning with what was believed to be a torn right Achilles and the fear is that he might be lost for the entire 2011-12 season, according to sources with knowledge of situation.

Team officials are waiting for further test results, but a preliminary evaluation indicated that Arthur’s condition is serious, according to the sources. The Grizzlies are expected to announce the extent of Arthur’s injury and a final prognosis Monday.
