Xavier Henry (ankle) believes he'll be able to play in about two weeks.

"I have a good estimation of about 10 days maybe, but I'd say in the next two weeks I'll be out there playing," said Henry. The no. 12 overall pick from the 2010 draft will look to carve out a consistent role backing up both the shooting guard and small forward positions.

The Hornets have acquired Xavier Henry from the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for a second-round pick.

Henry is currently nursing torn ligaments in his right ankle, but he'll serve as a swingman off the bench for the Hornets when he's healthy. New Orleans has added more youth with the No. 10 overall pick from the 2010 draft, but he's unlikely to be useful for fantasy owners this season.

Xavier Henry is on crutches and in a walking boot at practice.

Henry has an issue with his ankle, but that's all we know at this time. He missed most of his rookie season with a knee injury, and now he has an ankle ailment to deal with as his second campaign is just around the corner.

Grizzlies SG Xavier Henry (knee) is reportedly "fine" and working out with no issues.

Henry is running, jumping, and cutting, which is great news considering surgery was discussed as an option in mid-May. He dealt with soreness during most of his rookie campaign and may lose precious weeks of training and experience if the lockout goes into effect.

Xavier Henry, who lost much of his year to an ongoing knee injury, said on Monday that he may still need surgery, but he hopes that it will not come to that.

He hopes to be cleared in 3-4 weeks, but one has to wonder if somebody will talk some sense into him if the injury does indeed need surgery. With the summer and potential lockout in front of him, there won't be any better time for him to go under the knife.

After seeking a second opinion, Xavier Henry will not have surgery on his sore right knee.

Henry will go through a four-week rehab program and then be re-evaluated. The No. 12 overall pick has been dealing with knee issues for most of his rookie season.

Xavier Henry will soon travel to New York for a second opinion on his knee, which may require season-ending surgery.

Henry has battled chronic soreness and it almost seems inevitable that he'll need surgery. He has played 10+ minutes in just one game since late December and isn't likely to be missed in fantasy leagues.

Grizzlies rookie guard Xavier Henry's chronically sore right knee could require season-ending surgery.

Henry plays a bit role for the Grizzlies (we didn't even notice that he sat out Wednesday) and with O.J. Mayo still around his minutes weren't likely to expand. Still, this would be a tough break for the Grizzlies' depth chart and would strip Henry of valuable experience. Stay tuned.

O.J. Mayo's suspension could clear some playing time for Grizzlies' rookie Xavier Henry.

"If somebody gets in foul trouble or if I want to move him over and play him behind Rudy, I'll put him in the game," said coach Lionel Hollins. He played just seven minutes on Friday, however, as Sam Young and Tony Allen split minutes at SG.

Xavier Henry (knee) is healthy enough to play but has lost his spot in the Grizzlies' rotation.

Henry was locked in as a starter before injuring his knee and now he can't even get off the bench. Tony Allen and Sam Young have seized the opportunity to share minutes with top reserve O.J. Mayo at shooting guard.

Xavier Henry (knee) is likely to return to action Friday night.

Henry went through a full-contact practice Thursday. The rookie was starting before he went down, but blew that opportunity by missing 12 straight games. He'll have to earn his way back into the rotation.

Coach Lionel Hollins admitted he still doesn't have a timetable on Xavier Henry's (knee) return.

Testing on Henry's knee have revealed no serious damage, but he continues to struggle with soreness. The rookie has now missed eight straight games and Hollins hinted that Henry isn't playing through pain. Look for Tony Allen to continue starting even when Henry returns.

Grizzlies rookie Xavier Henry (knee) missed another game on Saturday.

Veteran SG Tony Allen has provided solid play in Henry's absence, and could hang onto the starting gig even once the rookie is fully healthy.

Xavier Henry missed Tuesday's game against the Thunder due to his sore knee.

With O.J. Mayo's future in Memphis getting cloudier by the day, it can only help Henry, but he still hasn't proven himself in fantasy leagues one bit. That could change real quick given the right circumstance, though, so don't count the rookie out for all of this year.

Xavier Henry remains questionable for Tuesday's game against the Thunder with a sore right knee.

Xavier Henry (knee) did not play on Saturday against the Jazz.

It's unclear if his knee is keeping him out or he is simply falling out of the rotation, but in the meantime his starting job is entirely at risk. Regardless, he has no real value in fantasy leagues.

The Grizzlies have placed no timetable on Xavier Henry's (knee) return.

Henry got some shots up before Wednesday's game, but he was noticeably hobbled. He'll have a full two days off before the Grizzlies' next game in Utah Saturday, so we'll consider him questionable. Tony Allen will start if Henry can't.

Grizzlies starting SG Xavier Henry remains questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings due to a sore right knee.

Sam Young -- not O.J. Mayo -- is expected to start again if Henry sits. However, the biggest boosts in playing time will go to Mayo and Tony Allen.

Xavier Henry did not play on Monday due to a knee injury.

He hasn't been producing enough to be owned, but has been gaining valuable experience for down the road. The severity of his injury is not known at this time.

Xavier Henry started again on Sunday but was almost invisible, recording just two points and one rebound in 15 minutes.

Henry has one double-digit scoring game in December and there is no breakout in sight. If you picked him up on spec, go ahead and cut him loose.
