Questionable at Dallas Brooks (thigh) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Mavericks.

Out Friday Brooks (thigh) will sit out Friday's contest against the Houston Rockets, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

Impact Brooks will miss his second straight contest due to the thigh injury, which allowed John Konchar to enter the starting lineup Wednesday and record a double-double in 33 minutes of action. Friday's game is the first half of a back-to-back set for the Grizzlies, and there is optimism that Brooks will suit up for the latter half Saturday in Dallas.

Doubtful Friday Brooks (thigh) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Brooks missed the Grizzlies regular season opener due to his thigh injury, allowing for John Konchar to enter the starting lineup and play 33 minutes. If Brooks doesn't suit up Friday, expect Konchar to receive the starting nod once again.

Ruled out for opener Brooks (thigh) won't play in Wednesday's season opener against the Knicks.

Impact As expected, Brooks won't take the floor for Wednesday's tilt with the Knicks as he continues to work his way back from the left thigh issue. With Ziaire Williams (knee) also inactive, John Konchar and David Roddy could see expanded roles until one or both of Memphis' key pieces are ready to return. Brooks' next opportunity to make his 2022-23 debut will be Friday against the Rockets.

Impact Brooks is dealing with left thigh soreness and will test things out during pregame warmups Wednesday, but it seems likely that he'll have to wait to make his season debut. Assuming he's held out, John Konchar and David Roddy should see increased run for Memphis.

Unlikely to suit up for opener Brooks is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's season opener against the Knicks to to left thigh soreness.

Impact Brooks' injury wasn't evident during the preseason, so it's something that popped up fairly recently. He will likely miss the opener as a result, opening a spot in the starting five. Official word on his status should arrive sometime in the next 24 hours. John Konchar may be the top candidate to join the starting five, with both Brooks and Ziaire Williams (knee) likely out.

Grizzlies, Ja set sights higher after Western semis loss

Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies have more experience along with postseason heartbreak

OCTOBER 10, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Drops 18 points Friday Brooks had 18 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes during Friday's 111-108 loss to the Heat.

Impact Brooks led the Grizzlies with 18 points but offered very little beyond the scoring in typical fashion. After an injury-plagued season in 2021-22, Brooks will simply be hoping his body can make it through the rigors of another season without letting him down too often. Should he remain relatively healthy, Brooks is a fine player to target in the later rounds, especially given his ability to score the basketball.

Available Friday Brooks said that he will play in Friday's preseason matchup with the Heat, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

Impact Brooks missed the Grizzlie's preseason opener last Saturday, but this was likely just for load management as most of the team's key contributors also sat. There is no indication that Brooks will miss any more time, and he is still in line to be the team's starting small forward.

Missing preseason opener Brooks (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's preseason matchup with the Bucks, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
