Memphis Grizzlies News and Rumors - NBA

Two assists in NBA debut Spencer (ankle) recorded zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two assists, one rebound and one block in nine minutes in Wednesday's 117-111 win over the 76ers.

Impact A rookie second-round pick out of UConn, Spencer was cleared to make his NBA debut Wednesday after missing the Grizzlies' first 15 games of the season while recovering from a right ankle sprain. Due to the Grizzlies being without six players due to injury, Spencer was able to crack the rotation, albeit in a small role. Memphis could get Marcus Smart (illness), John Konchar (illness) and Vince Williams (ankle) back for its next game Saturday in Chicago, in which case Spencer would be a prime candidate to exit the rotation. As a two-way player, Spencer is likely to spend considerable time in the G League once the Grizzlies reclaim some health at the NBA level.

Strong showing off bench Aldama finished Wednesday's 117-111 victory over the 76ers with 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and six assists in 27 minutes.

Impact Aldama moved back to the bench with the return of Desmond Bane to the starting lineup, but that hasn't prevented the Spaniard from putting up solid numbers every time he's on the hardwood. Even though the move back to the second unit will limit his upside considerably, Aldama continues to contribute enough to remain valuable in most formats. He's averaging 12.3 points, 7.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game while starting in seven of his 10 appearances since the beginning of November.

Fills stat sheet Wednesday Bane closed with 21 points (8-18 FG, 5-11 3Pt), 10 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 117-111 victory over the 76ers.

Impact Jaren Jackson led the Grizzlies in scoring with his 25-point effort, but Bane led the team in rebounds and assists while also surpassing the 20-point mark. Bane has looked very good after missing seven straight games due to a strained right oblique, and he's averaging 13.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and a combined 1.5 steals-plus-blocks in his four appearances since returning to the hardwood.

Continues scoring run Jackson provided 25 points (8-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 117-111 victory over the 76ers.

Impact Jackson has emerged as a reliable scoring weapon for the Grizzlies in the absence of Ja Morant (hip), but the big man has performed better than initially expected. He's embraced being a go-to player on offense and has notched at least 20 points in seven of his last eight games. The former Michigan State standout is averaging 25.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game while shooting 50.4 percent from the floor in that span.

No-go Wednesday Konchar (illness) won't play in Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Impact As expected, Konchar won't suit up for Wednesday's matchup with Philadelphia. The veteran wing will join Marcus Smart (illness) and Vince Williams (ankle) on the sideline, leaving plenty of work for Luke Kennard, Jaylen Wells and Santi Aldama. Konchar's next chance to play will come Saturday at Chicago.

Available vs. Philadelphia Spencer (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Spencer could see some minutes off the bench due to the absences of players such as Vince Williams (ankle), Marcus Smart (illness) and John Konchar (illness). That said, he's not expected to see enough time to be a reliable fantasy alternative in any format.

Officially out Smart (illness) won't play in Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Smart was termed doubtful ahead of the contest so it's no surprise to see him inactive. With John Konchar (illness) and Vince Williams (ankle) also sidelined, expect Jaylen Wells and Luke Kennard to see plenty of action. Smart's next chance to play will come Saturday at Chicago.

Upgraded to questionable Spencer (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Spencer was given an estimated timetable of three weeks back on Nov. 1, so his potential return would provide a big boost to Memphis. Marcus Smart (illness) and John Konchar (illness) are doubtful Wednesday and Vince Williams (ankle) has been ruled out, so Spencer could see some rotation minutes if he gets the green light to play.

Doubtful for Wednesday Konchar (illness) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Konchar has a minimal role with the Grizzlies, but his expected unavailability is unfortunate for the team with so many injuries on the wings. Luke Kennard and Jake LaRavia will likely have to log extended minutes Wednesday.

Won't play Wednesday Williams (ankle) will not play Wednesday against the 76ers.

Impact Williams suffered a right ankle sprain Tuesday against the Nuggets and was unable to return, so it's not a surprise to see him being held out Wednesday. Marcus Smart (illness) and John Konchar (illness) are both doubtful, catapulting Luke Kennard and Jake LaRavia onto the streaming radar.

Doubtful for Wednesday Smart (illness) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Impact It appears that Smart will likely sit for the third game in a row as he remains under the weather. Vince Williams (ankle) is out and John Konchar (illness) is doubtful, meaning we could see a lot of Jake LaRavia and Luke Kennard on Wednesday.
