Things just keep getting worse in Memphis. The team has lost six in a row and 11-of-13, and now their lack-of-depth will be exposed even further.
Second-year “3&D” wing Dillon Brooks is done for the season with a toe injury that requires surgery, the team announced Wednesday.

While they don’t provide a timeline, Brooks is expected to be done for the season but able to get back to workouts this summer in preparation for next season.
Brooks — who averaged 7.5 points a game off the bench in 18 minutes a night this season — was in the wing rotation with Garrett Temple, Kyle Anderson and the just acquired Justin Holiday. Expect to see a little more Omri Casspi now.
Memphis likes Brooks and how he fits into their grinding style of play, which is why he was never available in the weird failed Trevor Ariza trade.
