Memphis sophomore Austin Nichols is expected to be sidelined about a week after suffering a shoulder injury in practice, a source told CBSSports.com on Tuesday.
Nichols suffered the injury in a two-on-two drill while working on post positioning, a source told CBSSports.com. The 6-foot-9 forward had an MRI performed on the shoulder late Tuesday. And though the results from that won't be available until Wednesday morning, a source close to the program is optimistic Nichols will be 100 percent for the Nov. 18 opener against Wichita State, which is ranked 11th in the preseason coaches poll.
Nichols averaged 9.3 points and 4.3 rebounds last season.
He was the American Athletic Conference Rookie of the Year.
