Grizzlies forward Darrell Arthur is expected to make his regular-season debut Friday night but insists he was ready the first time he participated in practice.

Doctors and the head athletic trainer cleared Arthur for contact workouts last week. He stepped onto the court and soon caught a lob pass from teammate Josh Selby. When Arthur threw down the alley-oop dunk, he removed any doubts about his recovery.

"A lot of guys were telling me to take my time and don't rush," Arthur said. "But I went and caught a lob from Josh Selby and everybody was like (darn!). That's the type of player I am. I'm going to make those athletic plays. That's how I knew I was ready."

Good for him. It's been a long time - he hasn't played since the spring of 2011, right?

Unfortunately that is right. Far too long. I hope DA can contribute for the team this season and not have anymore setbacks.
