JOHN KONCHAR NEWS

Won't play Wednesday Konchar (heel) won't suit up for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Impact Wednesday will mark the second straight game on the sidelines for Konchar, which should result in more minutes for GG Jackson and DeJon Jarreau. Konchar's next chance to play will come Saturday in Orlando.

MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Wednesday Konchar (heel) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game versus the Lakers.

Impact Konchar is expected to miss his second straight game Wednesday due to right heel soreness. GG Jackson and DeJon Jarreau will likely continue to receive increased playing time if Konchar is officially ruled out.

MARCH 26 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Konchar (heel) is unavailable for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Konchar is dealing with a right heel injury and will miss his first action since March 10 as a result. GG Jackson and DeJon Jarreau should be in line for more chances with Konchar out of commission.

MARCH 25 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Monday Konchar is doubtful for Monday's game against the Nuggets due to right heel soreness.

Impact Konchar has seen plenty of playing time recently, averaging 6.2 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 32.2 minutes per game over his last six appearances. However, he's dealing with a heel injury that will likely prevent him from suiting up Monday. GG Jackson and Maozinha Pereira are candidates to see increased playing time for the shorthanded Grizzlies.

MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Konchar (heel) is available for Friday's matchup with the Spurs.

Impact Konchar originally drew a questionable tag, but he is feeling good enough to go after testing things out pregame. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual workload at shooting guard. The 28-year-old has averaged 6.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.0 triples across 31.8 minutes in his previous five games.

MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Konchar is questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs due to right heel soreness.

Impact If Konchar isn't able to give it a go Friday, then his minutes will likely be divvied up between Jake LaRavia and GG Jackson. Check back for another update on Konchar following Friday's shootaround.

MARCH 21 • ROTOWIRE

Back with starting five Konchar is starting Monday night against the Kings.

Impact Konchar will join the starting lineup due to the absence of Luke Kennard (personal). Konchar has started five games so far in March and is averaging 6.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 blocks in 31.0 minutes.

MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE

Joins second unit Konchar will come off the bench for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

Impact The Grizzlies will be getting Desmond Bane (ankle) back in the lineup Saturday, so this is an expected move. Memphis' rotations will likely continue to be volatile going forward, making Konchar hard to trust in most formats.

MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE

Nears double-double in loss Konchar contributed 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt), nine rebounds, four assists and three steals over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 110-98 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Konchar led all players in Wednesday's contest in rebounds while tallying a team-high-tying trio of steals and ending as one of five Grizzlies with a double-digit point total over a performance that was one board short of a double-double. Konchar set a new season high in scoring, posting his third game of 10 or more points. He has now hauled in nine or more boards in seven games, including in two straight contests.

MARCH 14 • ROTOWIRE

Will play Tuesday Konchar (ankle) will play in Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Konchar and Jordan Goodwin (Achilles) were both carrying questionable tags into Tuesday, but they each have the green light to play with no mention of restrictions. However, Lamar Stevens (groin) and Scotty Pippen (back) will both be sidelined Tuesday.

MARCH 12 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Tuesday Konchar (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Konchar was listed as doubtful ahead of Tunsday's loss to the Thunder before being downgraded to out, so it appears he's at least made some progress since then. If Konchar remains out, DeJon Jarreau could see increased playing time again.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

Out Sunday Konchar (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Thunder.

Impact As expected, Konchar has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will join a long list of inactive Grizzlies. Given all the absences, recently-acquired DeJon Jarreau may crack the rotation versus Oklahoma City.

MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful to face OKC Konchar is doubtful to play Sunday against the Thunder due to right ankle soreness.

Impact Konchar has struggled with injuries from time to time, an issue that has caused him to miss 16 games already, and he seems in danger of adding another one to that list. If Konchar can't play Sunday, then the already-depleted Grizzlies would hand more minutes to Vince Williams, DeJon Jarreau and possibly Jake LaRavia.

MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE

Contributes across board Konchar chipped in nine points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Monday's 106-102 win over the Nets.

Impact Jordan Goodwin was inactive for the Grizzlies, and the rotations in Memphis continue to be unpredictable. Konchar has been in and out of the lineup with various injuries, but his ability to contribute across the board gives him plenty of streaming appeal when the minutes are there.

MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE

Starting vs. Brooklyn Konchar will start Monday's game against the Nets.

Impact Konchar was cleared to return in a bench role for Saturday's contest against Portland, and he'll now get a chance with the first unit for Monday's clash. His last start dates back to Feb. 14 against the Rockets when he finished with eight points, three rebounds, two assists, one steal and two blocks in 20 minutes.

MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE

Available to play Saturday Konchar (thumb) is available to face the Trail Blazers on Saturday.

Impact Konchar was deemed as "expected to play" earlier on Saturday, so having him available is not really surprising. Considering how depleted the Grizzlies are due to injuries, expect Konchar to slot right back into the starting unit. He's been part of the first unit in 13 of his last 14 appearances.

MARCH 3 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable The Grizzlies have listed Konchar (thumb) as questionable for Saturday's tilt with the Trail Blazers.

Impact Konchar has been sidelined for Memphis' previous three games and is in danger of missing a fourth due to a left thumb sprain. He had been listed as doubtful going into the team's previous two contests, so his questionable tag Saturday indicates he is trending in the right direction. His final status is not likely to be determined until closer to tipoff. Jordan Goodwin and Ziaire Williams are candidates to continue seeing increased run should Konchar not get the green light.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Will not play Friday Konchar (thumb) will not play in Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact No surprise here, as Konchar was considered doubtful prior to this update. With Luke Kennard (illness) also out, G.G. Jackson will likely see all the minutes he can handle.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Friday Konchar (thumb) is doubtful to play Friday versus Portland.

Impact Konchar is slated to sit out his third straight game due to his left thumb sprain, which should continue to result in more minutes for GG Jackson and Ziaire Williams. Konchar belongs on the waiver wire in most leagues.

FEBRUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out against Minnesota Konchar (thumb) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves.

Impact Konchar will miss his second consecutive game Wednesday due to a left thumb sprain. His next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Portland.

FEBRUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Wednesday Konchar (thumb) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves.

Impact Konchar is expected to miss his second straight contest Wednesday due to a left thumb sprain. With Luke Kennard (illness) also out, Derrick Rose and Jordan Goodwin should receive extended playing time in the backcourt.

FEBRUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Monday Konchar has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nets due to a left thumb sprain.

Impact Konchar hurt his thumb during Friday's loss to the Clippers and will be forced to miss at least one game after being diagnosed with a sprain. Luke Kennard and Jordan Goodwin are candidates to see increased roles against Brooklyn.

FEBRUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Hurts thumb Friday Konchar exited with 4:18 remaining in the fourth quarter of Friday's 101-95 loss to the Clippers due to left thumb soreness and didn't return. He finished with seven points (2-4 FG...

Impact Konchar had missed the Grizzlies' final game before the All-Star break Feb. 15 against the Bucks due to a quadricep contusion, but it was a different injury that forced his early exit Friday. The fifth-year wing turned in a solid all-around line before departing the contest, paying dividends in particular for those who streamed him for steals.

FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Not listed on injury report Konchar (quad) is not listed on the injury report for Friday's tilt against the Clippers.

Impact Konchar will return from a one-game absence, and he could be viewed as a low-end option for some boards and blocks in deep leagues. Ziaire Williams could be headed for the second unit with Konchar back in action.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Officially ruled out Konchar (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bucks, Jonah Dylan of the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Impact Konchar was doubtful for Thursday's matchup due to a quadriceps contusion, so his status isn't particularly surprising. He'll have over a week to rest during the All-Star break before the Grizzlies face the Clippers on Feb. 23.
