John Konchar News, Rumors, Updates - Memphis Grizzlies

Back in starting five Konchar will start Thursday's game versus the Magic, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.

Impact Konchar continues to receive the nod when Desmond Bane (toe) gets the night off, which is the case again Thursday for injury management purposes. Konchar is averaging 9.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.3 steals over 27.9 minutes across 21 games as a starter, so there's some additional upside to his fantasy outlook Thursday.

Drops out of starting unit Konchar will not start Wednesday's game versus the Hornets, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.

Impact Konchar made a spot start with Desmond Bane on the sidelines but returns to the bench with Bane back in action Wednesday. He should still log a healthy role in this one, likely nearing or topping 20 minutes. Konchar enters the night averaging 5.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists over 22.2 minutes per game over his 13 bench appearances.

Starting Sunday Konchar is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Kings, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.

Impact Konchar will jump to the starting unit in place of Desmond Bane, who had been ruled out due to injury management. Konchar is averaging 8.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 steals per game in 20 starts this season.

Back to bench Konchar will operate off the bench during Friday's matchup against the Suns, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.

Impact Konchar will shift back to the bench with Desmond Bane back in action following a lengthy absence due to a toe injury. However, Bane is expected to operate under a minutes restriction, so Konchar should still see a sizable role off the bench. In eight games as a reserve, Konchar has averaged 5.4 points and 5.3 rebounds in 23.6 minutes.

Opens donut store Tuesday Konchar contributed zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 16 minutes during Tuesday's 105-91 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Konchar was invisible in the loss, failing to register a single point. After a strong run of performances, he has cooled significantly of late, almost to the point where he is now a non-factor in standard formats. He will of course have better performances than this, but managers could certainly consider moving on from him in favor of a streaming spot.

Packs stat sheet Konchar had nine points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Monday's 128-103 win over the Hawks.

Impact Konchar managed to contribute across the board in this one, turning in his best rebounding and passing performance of December. He's scored in double figures just once in his last six contests, but his production elsewhere continues to buy him a look in deeper fantasy leagues.

DECEMBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Modest line in Friday's win Konchar amassed eight points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 25 minutes during Friday's 114-103 win over the Pistons.

Impact Konchar continues to start for the Grizzlies, although his production of late has begun to decline. He has been a top-100 player over the past month but has seen that fall outside the top 150 in the last three games. He remains a viable asset, thanks primarily to his ability to chip in across multiple categories. With that said, his upside is limited, meaning he could be dropped if a hot free agent comes along.

Won't go vs. Heat Konchar (toe) won't play in Monday's game against Miami.

Impact Konchar has officially been ruled out after being added to the injury report as doubtful earlier in the day. Ja Morant (ankle) and Desmond Bane (toe) are also out, leaving plenty of chances for Tyus Jones, Kennedy Chandler and David Roddy.

DECEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact Konchar was not previously on the injury report, making his doubtful designation incredibly concerning for his Monday status. He is joined by Jake LaRavia (foot), Ja Morant (ankle) and Ziare Williams (knee) as doubtful while Desmond Bane Itoe) and Jaren Jackson (injury management) are out. Expect Dillon Brooks, David Roddy and Tyus Jones to handle a large workload if Konchar sits.

Returns to double figures Konchar contributed 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and four steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 122-112 win over Detroit.

Impact Konchar shot efficiently in limited chances and extended his streak of at least one made triple to 10 games. He also scored in double digits for the fifth time in eight matchups. The 26-year-old is averaging 8.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists through 21 contests this season.

Stays lukewarm Konchar closed Friday's 117-109 win over the 76ers with eight points (2-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one steal across 32 minutes.

Impact Konchar continues seeing ample run with Desmond Bane (toe) out, but it's no longer translating to notable production. Konchar has failed to exceed 10 points in any of his last five contests, although he has pulled down six-plus rebounds in each appearance.

DECEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Active and starting Konchar (calf) will play and start Friday's matchup against the Pelicans.

Impact Konchar is joined by Ja Morant, Dillon Brooks, Jaren Jackson and Steven Adams (illness) in the starting five. In 17 games Konchar has produced 8.4 points and 6.4 rebounds in 27.4 minutes per game.

NOVEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Friday Konchar is questionable for Friday's game against the Pelicans due to left calf soreness.

Impact Konchar hasn't missed a game since Oct. 27, and he's started the past five games with Desmond Bane (toe) sidelined. If Konchar is out, more minutes could be in store for David Roddy, Jake LaRavia and other wings.

NOVEMBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Delivers excellent game sans Morant Konchar finished with 16 points (4-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Sunday's 127-115 loss to the Nets.

Impact Though Tyus Jones was the direct replacement in the starting five for the injured Ja Morant (ankle), the All-Star guard's absence allowed Konchar to take on more playmaking opportunities than usual. Konchar's fantasy value had already been the rise after he moved into the starting five last week in the wake of Desmond Bane (toe) suffering an injury that's expected to keep him out 2-to-3 weeks, and the loss of Morant should only further improve Konchar's outlook. The fourth-year player is now averaging 12.8 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.3 three-pointers and 1.0 steals in 34.0 minutes per contest while starting each of the past four games.
