JOHN KONCHAR NEWS

Racks up seven boards Konchar produced seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), seven rebounds and two assists over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 133-109 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Konchar didn't appear in the Grizzlies' regular-season opener but has had relatively consistent playing time off the bench over the last four matchups. He generated modest production Wednesday and is now averaging 4.3 points and 6.5 rebounds in 22.3 minutes per game this season.

Active Wednesday Konchar (personal) is active for Wednesday's opener against New Orleans.

Impact Konchar was away from the Grizzlies for the majority of preseason while he attended to personal matters, but he is off the injury report for Wednesday's regular-season opener. He brings a much-needed presence at the forward position with Steven Adams (knee) done for the season and Santi Aldama (ankle) out.

OCTOBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still out Konchar (personal) will not play in Friday's preseason game against the Bucks, Damichael Cole of Memphis News reports.

Impact Konchar has been away from the Grizzlies since Oct. 17, putting his status for Opening Night on Oct. 25 in jeopardy. Once he returns to Memphis, Konchar will have a decent shot at earning a sizable role with the second unit.

OCTOBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Amid personal absence Konchar has been away from the Grizzlies for personal reasons, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

Impact Konchar hasn't appeared in any preseason contests. Details on his situation and eventual return are scarce, which puts his availability for Friday's preseason finale against Milwaukee in doubt.

OCTOBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will come off bench Konchar will return to the second unit for Sunday's Game 1 matchup with the Lakers, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Konchar received a spot start in Memphis' final regular-season game, as the Grizzlies rested most of their main guys, but Konchar will return to his usual reserve role Sunday. He'll likely be relegated to minutes in the teens, so he's not an enticing target in daily fantasy leagues.

APRIL 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Friday Konchar (hip) will not play Friday against the Clippers.

Impact Konchar will sit out for a second straight contest. Luke Kennard has had the hot hand for Memphis and will likely continue to play a big role for the Grizzlies with his three-point prowess.

MARCH 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back on injury report Konchar is questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Konchar missed Wednesday's game with a hip injury but was initially left off the injury report for Friday's matchup. However, he's back on the report again and is in danger of missing a second straight game. If he's sidelined, David Roddy and Luke Kennard would be candidates for a few extra minutes.

MARCH 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for Friday Konchar (hip) will play during Friday's game versus the Clippers.

Impact A handful of Grizzlies players rested during Wednesday's loss to the Clippers, but they'll return, along with Konchar, for Friday's rematch. Konchar has been a steady part of the rotation all season but isn't known for his scoring, last reaching double figures on New Year's Day. Since then, he's averaged 2.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 15.7 minutes.

MARCH 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs seven boards in win Konchar produced three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 18 minutes during Monday's 112-108 victory over Dallas.

Impact Memphis outrebounded Dallas by 13 Monday, and Konchar did his part to contribute by grabbing seven boards in just 18 minutes. He didn't do much else, but this was still one of his better games in recent memory. Konchar hasn't posted double-digit scoring in a game since Jan. 1, and he's averaging just 1.2 points over 16.2 minutes across his past six contests.

MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Modest production Thursday Konchar logged eight points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists in 22 minutes during Thursday's 131-110 victory over the Warriors.

Impact Konchar continues to play meaningful minutes, logging at least 20 minutes for the third straight game. While he was able to impact the game from a reality standpoint, his tangible production continues to fade in comparison. For now, a consistent role appears to be his, making him a player to consider in deeper formats.

MARCH 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Loses minutes to Kennard Konchar finished with three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) in five minutes in Sunday's 119-109 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Konchar kept his spot in the Grizzlies' rotation, but he saw a steep reduction in playing time from the 27 minutes he played two days earlier while head coach Taylor Jenkins deployed trade-deadline pickup Luke Kennard (22 minutes) as the team's top wing off the bench. The split in playing time between Kennard and Konchar may not be quite as extreme in the games to come, but Konchar's already modest role still looks as though will shrink in the wake of the trade deadline.

FEBRUARY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set to play Thursday Konchar (concussion) was left off the injury report for Thursday's game versus the Cavaliers.

Impact Konchar will make his return from a four-game injury after being cleared from concussion protocols. He is averaging 6.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 23.2 minutes across 43 contests this season.

FEBRUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Officially ruled out Konchar (concussion) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Trail Blazers.

Impact Konchar has been downgraded from questionable to out Wednesday despite clearing concussion protocols. However, this was due to precautionary reasons, and he will likely have the opportunity to play in Thursday's contest against Cleveland.

Unlikely to play Wednesday Konchar has cleared concussion protocols but is likely out for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers due to precautionary reasons, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial App...

Impact Konchar is expected to miss his fourth consecutive game Wednesday due to a concussion. However, now that he has cleared protocols, he will have a chance to play in Thursday's matchup with Cleveland. Konchar is averaging 0.4 points and 2.4 rebounds in 10.0 minutes across his last five appearances.

FEBRUARY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable against Portland Konchar (concussion) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Trail Blazers.

JANUARY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Sunday Konchar (concussion) will not play in Sunday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Konchar will miss a third straight tilt as he remains in concussion protocols.

Konchar will have another opportunity to return Wednesday against the Trail Blazers.

Still out Friday Konchar (concussion) remains out for Friday's matchup against the Timberwolves.

Impact Konchar will miss a second straight game. The Grizzlies could be extra thin on the wing, as Desmond Bane (knee) is questionable.

JANUARY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out with concussion Konchar has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Warriors while in the NBA's concussion protocol.

Impact There was no word of a head injury following the Grizzlies' last matchup Monday against the Kings, so it's unclear as to when Konchar suffered the injury. He'll need to pass through the league's protocol prior to gaining clearance to return.

JANUARY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Goes unnoticed in loss Konchar notched zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal over six minutes during Sunday's 112-110 loss to Phoenix.

Impact Konchar barely saw the floor in the loss, continuing a trend that has seen him play fewer than 16 minutes in six straight games. While he has had some nice moments this season, he is simply too hard to trust, especially when the team is relatively healthy, as they are now.

JANUARY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Seemingly available Wednesday Konchar isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Cavaliers.

Impact Konchar is set to play Wednesday after missing the last two games with a non-COVID illness. The 26-year-old guard's return will likely result in reduced minutes for Ziaire Williams and David Roddy.

JANUARY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Monday Konchar (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Suns.

Impact Konchar was listed as questionable ahead of Monday's matchup but was considered unlikely to play against Phoenix due to his non-COVID illness. Ziaire Williams and David Roddy will likely see increased playing time once again Monday.

JANUARY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to sit Monday Konchar (illness) is unlikely to play in Monday's game against the Suns, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

Impact Konchar is slated to miss a second consecutive contest due to a non-COVID illness. His absence should open up minutes on the wing for Ziaire Williams and David Roddy. Konchar's next chance to play will come Wednesday against the Cavaliers.

JANUARY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable against Phoenix Konchar (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Suns.

Impact Konchar continues to deal with a non-COVID illness, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available Monday after missing Saturday's game against the Pacers. Although Dillon Brooks (ankle) will be back in action against Phoenix, David Roddy and Ziaire Williams could see increased run if Konchar is unavailable.

JANUARY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Saturday Konchar will not suit up for Saturday's game against the Pacers due to a non-COVID illness.

Impact Konchar will be sidelined for just the third time this season with an illness. Dillon Brooks (ankle) was also tabbed questionable for the contest, meaning David Roddy and Ziaire Williams could earn more playing time Saturday. However, Konchar has averaged just 14.3 minutes in his last three contests, so the additional workloads for his teammates will be limited. Konchar's next chance to take the floor will come Monday against Phoenix.
