Heads to transfer portal Rand has decided to enter the transfer portal, Jason Munz of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Impact Rand has played sparingly so far this season, appearing in just three games so far for the Tigers. That likely played a factor in his decision to transfer from Memphis and he could find some additional work at another institution.

Will play Tuesday Dandridge (undisclosed) is back and will be available for Tuesday's game against South Florida, Danielle Lerner of DailyMemphian.com reports.
Impact Dandridge had missed the last two games for an undisclosed issue. Now he is fully healthy and should be an option off the bench for the Tigers. Dandridge is averaging 3.3 points and 3.7 rebounds per game this season.

Productive in low-scoring game Williams started and had a team-high 13 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-8 FT) to go along with nine rebounds, three assists and three steals over 38 minutes in Monday's loss to Tulsa.
Impact Williams made his Memphis debut last week against Tulane but played only 16 minutes off the bench. He ended up more than doubling that as a starter Monday, due largely to freshman Moussa Cisse ending up in early foul trouble. Three starters ultimately ended up with four personals, paving the way for Williams to get plenty of run. Memphis is a deep and talented team, so this type of playing time won't always be guaranteed, but it's already clear Williams has an immediate and impactful role in this offense. He should be rostered in nearly all types of fantasy formats if he isn't already.

Not warming up, appears out Dandridge (undisclosed) is not warming up prior to Monday's matchup against Tulsa, Danielle Lerner of DailyMemphian.com reports.
Impact Dandridge didn't play in a matchup against Tulane just five days earlier, with reports suggesting he was getting a maintenance day. That absence looks like it will extend through Monday, leaving more post minutes for the likes of D.J. Jeffries, DeAndre Williams, Moussa Cisse and Lance Thomas.

Appears to be out Monday Lomax (undisclosed) is not warming up with the team ahead of Monday's game against Tulsa, Danielle Lerner of DailyMemphian.com reports.
Impact It seems that Lomax is dealing with a thumb issue (per Jason Munz of The Memphis Commercial Appeal), and it doesn't look like he will be suiting up against Tulsa. His next chance to play would be Dec. 29 against South Florida. The Tigers will move forward with Damion Baugh and Boogie Ellis as the primary ball handlers in Mondays AAC matchup.

Will start Monday Memphis head coach Penny Hardaway said that Williams will be in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Tulsa, Jason Munz of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Impact After his status was in limbo to begin the season following his transfer from Evansville, Williams was granted immediate eligibility after the NCAA passed a waiver allowing all Division I transfers to compete right away at their new schools in 2020-21. Williams came off the bench in his debut Dec. 16 against Tulane and quickly made an impact, posting 10 points, six rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 16 minutes. Expect him to see an uptick in playing time as he moves up to the top unit.

Quinones scores 20 to lift Memphis past Tulane 80-74 NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Lester Quinones had 20 points as Memphis beat Tulane 80-74 on Wednesday night.
DECEMBER 17, 2020 • OLEANTIMESHERALD.COM
10 points in debut Williams had 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-9 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 17 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 90-74 victory over Tulane.
Impact Williams and the Tigers received some good news during the afternoon when all D-1 transfers were cleared to be immediately eligible at their new destinations. Coach Penny Hardaway wasted no timing getting Williams into the mix, as he was the second-leading reserve in terms of minutes and one of four Memphis players in double figures. The minutes came largely at the expense of Malcolm Dandridge, who was given the day off, but freshman center Moussa Cisse was also held to a season-low 15 minutes in the matchup. Look for Williams to continue expanding his role as one of the top players on a loaded Memphis roster.

Gets a day off Dandridge (undisclosed) did not take the court Wednesday against Tulane.
Impact According to Jason Munz of The Memphis Commercial Appeal, Dandridge hasn't quite been operating at 100 percent of late, though coach Penny Hardaway did not go into detail on any specific injury. He did note that with DeAndre Williams becoming instantly eligible, this would afford Dandridge some time off. It's unclear if his absence will extend into Monday's matchup against Tulsa.
