The Los Angeles Lakers have traded center Chris Mihm to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for a conditional 2nd round pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, it was announced today by General Manager Mitch Kupchak.
“The last two years have been difficult and frustrating for Chris in coming back from his ankle injury,” said Kupchak. “But Chris has handled himself with true professionalism the entire time. With the depth of our roster, especially at the center position, Chris has not had the opportunity to play that he deserves. At this point in his career, and especially as someone who will be a free agent this summer, we felt it was in his best interests to go to a team that would give him a chance to play. Chris has made significant contributions to our team over the past five years. We’d like to thank him and wish him the best of luck for the remainder of his career.”
Chris Mihm and DJ Mbenga got into a small altercation on Monday. Apparently Chris Mihm did not like the elbow DJ Mbenga turned on him when he shot the ball. It was a minor scuffle and teamates came and broke it up.
The two seemed like they resolved the situation, tlaking it out with assistant coach Kurt Rambis.
