Upgraded to questionable for Friday Williams (lower leg) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Warriors.
Impact Williams has yet to make his debut in the 2024-25 campaign, though the questionable tag suggests he is nearing a return to game action. The 24-year-old has been ramping up for a return with the G League's Memphis Hustle, but if he is unable to suit up Friday his next chance to debut will come Sunday against Denver.

Questionable to play Friday Clarke (toe) is questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors.
Impact Clarke is in danger of missing a second straight game due to this injury, and it comes as a bad time for the big man, who was coming off back-to-back starts before missing Wednesday's defeat against the Lakers. Clarke hasn't reached the 20-minute plateau in his last six outings, however, so even if he's available, his fantasy upside will be somewhat limited.

Questionable for Friday Bane (oblique) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors.
Impact Bane's questionable tag suggests he is progressing toward a return to game action after being deemed week-to-week in early November due to a right oblique strain. The sharpshooter is in jeopardy of missing his eighth straight contest and if he is unable to suit up, Santi Aldama is expected to draw the start at small forward once again.

Strong production in return Smart (ankle) tallied 15 points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six assists, two rebounds, one steal and one block across 23 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 128-123 loss to the Lak...
Impact Memphis was still without six players due to injury Wednesday, but Smart's return from a six-game absence due to an ankle sprain provided a lift. Though he was deployed off the bench Wednesday, Smart delivered his best all-around performance of the season and could reclaim his spot on the top unit and see his minutes pick up as he becomes further removed from the ankle injury. Smart may be worthy of at least a cursory pickup in 12-team leagues or deeper where he might have been dropped following his recent absence.

Excellent two-way play Wednesday Aldama registered 15 points (6-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 128-123 loss to the Lakers.
Impact Aldama is making the most of Desmond Bane's absence due to an oblique injury, and he continues to deliver excellent two-way numbers every time he steps on the court. Aldama has scored in double digits while grabbing at least five rebounds in five games in a row, and he's averaging 12.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game in six November appearances.

29-point effort not enough in loss Jackson ended Wednesday's 128-123 loss to the Lakers with 29 points (10-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 33 minutes.
Impact Jackson has embraced a bigger role on offense with Ja Morant (hip) and Desmond Bane (oblique) sidelined, and he's putting up excellent numbers as one of the Grizzlies' go-to players. He's averaging 25.0 points per game in November while shooting 54 percent from the field, and he's also scored at least 20 points in each of his last five outings.

Scores 15 points in loss to LAL Pippen totaled 15 points (6-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 128-123 loss to the Lakers.
Impact Pippen's presence in the starting lineup will only last until Ja Morant (hip) is cleared to return, but there's no question the 24-year-old is doing everything he can to show he belongs in the league. Pippen is averaging 14.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game in his three starts this season. Morant is considered week-to-week and his return date is uncertain, so Pippen should remain in the starting unit for Friday's game against the Warriors.

Making first career start Huff is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Impact A 27-year-old journeyman and longtime G League standout, Huff will make his first career NBA start Wednesday. He's shined in a reserve role for the Grizzlies this season, averaging 10.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.9 blocks across 15.6 minutes per game. While he'll be part of the first unit, Huff is expected to play 20-25 minutes as Memphis will look to mix Zach Edey in at the five-spot.

Officially out Williams (lower leg) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Lakers.
Impact Williams was labeled doubtful for the contest, so his absence doesn't come as much of a surprise. He'll look to make his 2024-25 debut Friday against Golden State.

Officially cleared Smart (ankle) is active Wednesday versus the Lakers.
Impact Smart's clearance comes as expected after it was reported earlier in the day Wednesday that he was on track to play. It's a triumphant return for Memphis, as the team is tied for fourth in the Western Conference with seven wins -- the majority of which have come without Smart. Smart should slot back into a 20-25 minute role immediately, although he's averaging just 7.0 points on 23.5 percent shooting across his four healthy contests this year.

Downgraded to out Clarke (toe) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Lakers.
Impact Clarke popped up on the injury report before Wednesday's contest due to toe soreness, and he'll wind up watching the game in street clothes. In his stead, Jay Huff and Santi Aldama could see more action at center behind Zach Edey. Clarke's next chance to play will come Friday at Golden State.

Set to play Wednesday Smart (ankle) remains listed as questionable but is on track to play in Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Shams Charania reported on ESPN's "NBA Today" program.
Impact Expect the Grizzlies to officially clear Smart to play ahead of the 10 p.m ET tipoff, after the veteran guard had missed the last six games with a right ankle sprain. Before suffering the injury, Smart had started in each of the Grizzlies' first five games and averaged 5.6 points, 2.8 assists, 2.2 rebounds, 1.2 steals, 0.6 three-pointers and 0.6 blocks in 19.6 minutes. Given that he's making his return from an injury, Smart could be limited to around 20-to-25 minutes Wednesday, though head coach Taylor Jenkins hasn't specified that the 30-year-old will be subject to a restriction. Once he's further removed from the ankle sprain, Smart could make a push for a regular 30-minute role while the Grizzlies are without two of their other backcourt starters in Ja Morant (hip) and Desmond Bane (oblique).
