JOHN KONCHAR NEWS

Strong line in limited run Konchar accumulated eight points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 17 minutes during Monday's 132-122 loss to Sacramento.

Impact The Grizzlies were shorthanded Monday, as Ja Morant (hamstring), Santi Aldama (calf) and Scotty Pippen (wrist) were all unable to go. Plus, GG Jackson was assigned to the G League on Monday. Konchar was limited to single-digit minutes in his previous three games, so fantasy managers can just keep an eye on him for now in case the Grizzlies continue to have bad luck with injuries.

Impact Konchar was initially termed questionable due to a sore right knee, but he's now trending toward missing Wednesday's matchup.

However, Vince Williams and Lamar Stevens would be the likeliest candidates to see expanded roles.

Questionable for Saturday Konchar (shoulder) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors.

Impact After returning to the bench against the Kings on Friday, Konchar struggled in 15 minutes on the floor. He failed to score and finished with only four rebounds. Memphis is dealing with several injuries to key players, which could result in a rough outing for the Grizzlies on Saturday against Golden State.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Shifts to second unit Konchar is coming off the bench in Friday's game against the Kings, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

Impact After starting Memphis' past two games, Konchar will cede his spot in the first unit to the returning Brandon Clarke (calf) on Friday. Konchar has averaged 2.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 12.0 minutes over 17 games off the bench this season, so his streaming value appears to have evaporated.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Pulls down 12 rebounds Konchar amassed seven points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 117-112 victory over Phoenix.

Impact Konchar made his first start of the season Sunday and made a huge impact on the glass by grabbing 15 rebounds. He didn't do much as a scorer, but fantasy managers in category-based leagues should be happy with his all-around contributions. The Grizzlies are a bit thin in terms of frontcourt depth, so don't rule out the possibility of Konchar seeing an uptick in minutes in the upcoming games.

Starting against Oklahoma CIty Konchar will start Sunday's game against the Thunder, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

In four games this season with 20-plus minutes logged Konchar has averaged 4.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 21.8 minutes per contest.

DECEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Konchar's next chance to play will come Saturday at Chicago.

NOVEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Wednesday Konchar (illness) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Konchar has a minimal role with the Grizzlies, but his expected unavailability is unfortunate for the team with so many injuries on the wings. Luke Kennard and Jake LaRavia will likely have to log extended minutes Wednesday.

NOVEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
