Oklahoma City Thunder's offense disappears in Memphis

The cut required three stitches and Ibaka to play with a sizable bandage over his eye. Ibaka was inadvertently elbowed in the face by teammate Reggie Jackson late in the fourth quarter against Denver when Jackson leapt for an offensive rebound.

It's the opposite eye that swelled up when Ibaka fell into Tim Duncan's knee in a recent game against San Antonio.

“I'm not concerned,” Brooks said. “He's fine.”

Ibaka finished with two points, six rebounds and two blocked shots against the Grizzlies. Blood dripped down Ibaka's cheek from beneath the bandage throughout various moments of the game.
