INJURIES

Not in starting five Saturday Morant (ankle) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason game against the Bulls.
Impact Morant is not expected to suit up as the club plans to work him back slowly for Opening Night. The superstar sustained a mild ankle sprain during Monday's preseason game against Dallas and hasn't played since. It is unclear if the 25-year-old will return during the preseason, but his next chance to do so will come Monday against the Pacers.

Receives starting nod Saturday LaRavia will join the starting five in Saturday's preseason game against the Bulls.
Impact LaRavia will enter the starting five with Santi Aldama and Desmond Bane both expected to take a scheduled day off due to rest. LaRavia carved out a significant role in the rotation last season due to a litany of injuries, during which he averaged 10.8 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists across 23.0 minutes per game in 35 regular-season appearances.

Picks up start Saturday Wells will enter the starting five in Saturday's preseason matchup versus the Bulls.
Impact While nothing has been officially announced, Desmond Bane is unlikely to suit up due to rest purposes, paving the way for Wells to start. The 21-year-old is not expected to play a prominent role for the club this season, and he will likely compete for minutes off the bench with John Konchar, Vince Williams (lower leg) and Jake LaRavia.
OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Not in starting lineup Saturday Aldama is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason game against the Bulls.
Impact The Grizzlies are tweaking their starting lineup for this preseason contest, and Aldama will make way for Jake LaRavia, who has been one of Memphis' standout performers in camp over the last few weeks.

Not starting Saturday Bane is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason game against
Impact The Grizzlies haven't announced anything, but all signs point to this being a scheduled off day for Bane after he started in the team's previous two preseason contests. Bane should continue to feature for the Grizzlies in the rest of the preseason, however, with an aim toward being fully ready for the regular-season opener against Utah on Oct. 23.
OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
In starting five Saturday Pippen will enter the starting five in Saturday's preseason matchup against the Bulls, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.
Impact Pippen will enter the starting five in place of Ja Morant, who suffered a minor ankle injury and held out of Thursday's loss to the Hornets. Pippen has been impressive throughout the Summer League and preseason, and he will likely play a prominent role off the bench for Memphis this season.
OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Available Saturday Clarke (knee) is available for Saturday's preseason matchup against the Bulls, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.
Impact Clarke was held out of Thursday's game against the Hornets due to knee soreness; however, this was likely only a precautionary measure. The 28-year-old was limited to only six regular-season appearances last season, during which he sustained an Achilles injury.
OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play vs. Chicago Smart (undisclosed) won't play in Saturday's preseason game against the Bulls, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.
Impact Head coach Taylor Jenkins confirmed Smart's absence for this preseason contest, though he didn't mention whether the reason behind his absence is rest or a minor injury. Smart's next chance to play will come against the Pacers on Monday, but the veteran guard is likely targeting to be healthy for the regular-season opener against the Jazz on Oct. 23.

Posts 12 pointa in preseason loss Wells logged 12 points (4-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebiounds, three assists and two steals across 25 minutes in Thursday's 119-94 loss to the Hornets.
Impact Wells made a splash in the Summer League after being picked in the second round by the Grizzlies. Wells signed a four-year deal worth $7.9 million so they expect him to be a contributor right away. His spot on the depth chart should rise if he continues to log solid numbers in the preseason.

Generates 15 points from bench Huff produced 15 points (5-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and a steal across 23 minutes in Thursday's 119-94 loss to the Hornets.
Impact Huff is trying to stay out of the G League and despite a crowded depth chart above him, Thursday's diverse line goes a long way toward his goal. He's now with his fourth team in his fourth season, and the Virginia product demonstrates special skills as a shooter and defender when given the opportunity, but only time will tell if he can impress enough to log some games with the big club.
OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Solid night in loss Bane produced 17 points (7-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and two steals across 25 minutes in Thursday's 119-94 loss to the Hornets.
Impact Bane is expected to form part of a potent backcourt that will feature Ja Morant and Marcus Smart. Although injury limited Bane to 42 games last season, he logged career-high averages in points (23.7) and assists (5.5). He's also a solid perimeter shooter who will drive up his score with several three-point attempts. He averaged a whopping 8.6 attempts from downtown last season.

Doesn't play Thursday Morant (ankle) didn't play in Thursday's 119-94 preseason loss to the Hornets.
Impact Morant didn't see the court in this double-digit preseason loss, though that's far from surprising, as the Grizzlies are being extremely cautious with their star point guard following the injuries and off-court issues he's had over the last two years. Morant's next chance to play will come against the Bulls on Saturday, but the star floor general will shift his focus toward being ready for the regular-season opener against the Jazz on Oct. 23, meaning his involvement in the Grizzlies' upcoming preseason games is uncertain.
