Impact Castleton carried a questionable tag into Sunday's bout due to a left ankle sprain, but he will ultimately be able to suit up. His availability likely holds no fantasy implications.

Won't play Sunday Smart (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Out vs. Portland Bane (oblique) is out for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Impact Bane was deemed week-to-week in early November and there haven't been any signs of progression in his recovery, so it's uncertain when the forward will be able to return. Bane's next chance to play will come against the Lakers on Wednesday, and Santi Aldama is expected to remain in the lineup while Bane is sidelined.

Questionable for Sunday Castleton (illness/ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Portland.
Impact Castleton is working through both a left ankle sprain and an illness, which could force him to be sidelined for Sunday's game. He's played just seven minutes across four regular-season outings in a reserve role, so his absence wouldn't make a huge difference for the Grizzlies.
NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Doubtful for Sunday Smart (ankle) has been listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Portland, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Impact Smart has missed the Grizzlies' last five regular-season games after spraining his right ankle against the Nets on Oct. 30. He was considered week-to-week when initially diagnosed, and while he's unlikely to play Sunday, he could return as soon as Wednesday against the Lakers. In the four games prior to the injury, Smart averaged 7.0 points, 3.3 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals over 23.0 minutes.

Grizzlies 2-time All-Star Ja Morant week to week with injured right hip
The Memphis Grizzlies announced Saturday that two-time All-Star point guard Ja Morant has an injured right hip that will keep him out week to weekNOVEMBER 9 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Considered week-to-week Morant (hip) is considered week-to-week and doesn't have a specific timetable for his return, the team announced Saturday.
Impact Morant was initially diagnosed with extreme right hip flexion, but further imaging later revealed a posterior hip subluxation (without dislocation) and multiple associated Grade 1 pelvic muscle strains. The Grizzlies won't take any risks with the health of their star point guard and will give him all the time he needs to recover and get back to 100 percent. Expect Scotty Pippen, who posted a triple-double in the win over the Wizards on Friday, to continue starting at the point while Morant is sidelined.

Solid output in win Aldama notched 12 points (5-13 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Friday's 128-104 win over the Wizards.
Impact Aldama is benefiting from the absence of Desmond Bane (oblique) to handle a bigger role on offense, and he's making the most of the opportunity, similar to what he did in 2023-24. Aldama has started in each of Memphis' last five games, a span in which he's averaging 12.2 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 0.8 steals per contest.

Explodes for 39 points Friday Jackson ended with 39 points (14-28 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Friday's 128-104 win over the Wizards.
Impact Jackson came close to matching his career-best scoring mark of 44 points, and the big man enjoyed the increased responsibility on offense. The Grizzlies are down several starters due to injuries, such as Ja Morant (hip), Marcus Smart (ankle) and Desmond Bane (oblique), so Jackson should enjoy a more significant role on offense in the coming games. That'll translate directly to his scoring figures and shooting percentages.

Delivers triple-double in win Pippen amassed 11 points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, 11 assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Friday's 128-104 win over Washington.
Impact The Grizzlies are down several key pieces in the rotation, such as Ja Morant (hip), Marcus Smart (ankle) and Desmond Bane (oblique), but Pippen stepped up in this one and delivered one of the best games of his career. Pippen is expected to return to the bench once Morant is ready to return. Still, in the meantime and considering Morant doesn't have a clear timetable to get back on the hardwood, Pippen should be viewed as a solid streaming alternative across all formats, particularly in category-based leagues.

Brings defense, little else Friday Konchar (quadricep) played 20 minutes off the bench and finished with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two assists, two rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 20 minutes in Friday...
Impact The banged-up Grizzlies received some rare good news on the health front with the return of Konchar, who had missed the previous four games with a right quad contusion. With six other Memphis players sidelined due to injuries, Konchar ended up seeing a healthy minutes total in his return, but aside from providing some help in the defensive categories, his stat line was mostly empty. He'll likely continue to hold down a spot in the Grizzlies' wing rotation but could end up seeing his playing time get reduced once the likes of Ja Morant (hip), Marcus Smart (ankle), Desmond Bane (oblique) and Vince Williams (tibia) are cleared to suit up again.
