JOHN KONCHAR NEWS

Produces off bench Konchar provided 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt), six rebounds and one steal in Friday's 122-114 win over Phoenix.

Impact Konchar's opportunities have been spotty since the All-Star break, but he saw an uptick in minutes Friday since Memphis dealt with a handful of injuries. The third-year guard finished second on the team in rebounds, including four offensive boards in 24 minutes off the bench.

Approaches double-double off bench Konchar ended Thursday's 133-103 victory over the Pacers with 18 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds and four assists over 25 minutes.

Impact Konchar tied his career high with 18 points in the win, and he fell two boards shy of registering his third double-double of the campaign. The third-year guard saw more than his usual amount of playing time with Ja Morant (knee) injured and the Grizzlies piling up a big lead. Morant could miss the remainder of the regular season due to the knee issue, which will likely result in a slight uptick in minutes for Konchar moving forward. His production is unlikely to warrant fantasy consideration even with more playing time, however.

Available Thursday Konchar (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Konchar was questionable with a left ankle sprain and will return to the court Thursday after missing one game. He averaged 4.8 points and 4.6 rebounds in 20.0 minutes in the five games prior to suffering the injury.

Questionable Thursday Konchar (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against Boston.

Impact Konchar missed Monday's game against the Spurs but will have a chance to return Thursday. If he remains out, Kyle Anderson and Jarrett Culver should see additional playing time.

Ruled out Monday Konchar (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Konchar sprained his left ankle during Saturday's win over the Bulls and will be forced to miss at least one additional game. Kyle Anderson and Jarrett Culver should see an uptick in playing time.

Suffers ankle injury Konchar didn't return to Saturday's 116-110 win over the Bulls after suffering from left ankle soreness earlier in the contest.

Impact Before exiting, Konchar produced one point (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds across eight minutes. The reserve wing can be viewed as day-to-day heading into Monday's game against the Spurs.

Back to bench Konchar will move back to the bench for Monday's game against the 76ers, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.

Impact Konchar started Saturday's game against Washington in place of Ziaire Williams, but with Williams back healthy he'll move back to his usual bench role. Konchar finished Saturday's victory with seven points, 10 boards, five assists and a steal in 33 minutes.

Impresses in starting role Konchar racked up seven points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Saturday's 115-95 win over Washington.

Impact Konchar came off the bench in his previous two games, but he was back in the starting five Saturday due to the absence of Ziaire Williams (knee). The third-year pro was one of two players in the contest to grab double-digit rebounds and also racked up a season-high five assists. Konchar has proven to be a strong rebounder, but he doesn't produce enough offensively to be a viable fantasy asset.

Starting Saturday Konchar is starting Saturday's game against the Wizards, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.

Impact Konchar came off the bench in each of the last two games but will rejoin the starting lineup since Ziaire Williams (knee) is unavailable Saturday. Across his three starts last week, the 25-year-old has averaged 5.3 points and 7.3 rebounds in 29.3 minutes per game.

Moves to bench Konchar will come off the bench for Wednesday's matchup with the Spurs, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.

Impact With Desmond Bane (COVID-19 protocols) back in the lineup after a three-game absence, Konchar will shift back to his usual bench role. The 25-year-old is averaging 4.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 18.0 minutes per game this season.

JANUARY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Decent output in starting role Konchar registered six points (3-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 126-114 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Konchar drew his third start of the season Wednesday, stepping in at shooting guard in place of Desmond Bane (COVID-19 protocols). As usual, the 25-year-old saw limited usage on offense, but he made solid contributions throughout the box score. He'll likely stick in the starting five for the duration of Bane's absence and should have short-term value in 12-team leagues for fantasy managers looking for aid in the rebounds, three-pointers, steals and blocks categories.

JANUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starting for Bane Konchar will start Wednesday's game at Milwaukee.

Impact The 25-year-old will make his third start of the season with Desmond Bane (COVID-19 protocols) sitting out. Konchar averaged 9.0 points, 11.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 31.0 minutes in his previous two starts and should see increased run until Bane can retake the court. De'Anthony Melton should also be more involved for Memphis.

JANUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Season-high performance off bench Konchar finished with 15 points (6-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), 17 rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes during Thursday's 116-108 victory over Minnesota.

Impact Konchar scored his most points (15) since dropping 17 during a Dec. 2 blowout win over the Thunder, and he also grabbed a season-high 17 boards en route to his second double-double of the 2021-22 campaign. The 6-foot-5 wing is averaging just 4.9 points and 4.3 rebounds across 16.9 minutes this season, but he could be in line for an increased role if he continues to produce like he did Thursday.
