MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis Grizzlies forward Rudy Gay needs surgery on his injured left shoulder and will miss the rest of the season.

The Grizzlies announced Tuesday the team’s physician Fred Azar and orthopedic surgeon James Andrews have recommended surgery for Gay’s partially dislocated shoulder.

Gay has missed the past 14 games since suffering the injury on Feb. 15 against Philadelphia. The Grizzlies are 8-6 in his absence and remain in contention for a playoff spot in the Western Conference.

Memphis is trying to reach the postseason for the first time since the 2005-2006 season.
