Ja Morant - 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.

Impact It's unclear if Morant will be sidelined for this preseason contest, but that wouldn't be shocking, as the team's goal is to have him ready for the start of the regular season against the Jazz on Oct. 23. John Konchar will start next to Marcus Smart in the backcourt with Morant not in the first unit.

Scotty Pippen Jr. - Dishes six dimes vs. Dallas Pippen logged 12 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six assists and two rebounds over 18 minutes in Monday's 121-116 preseason win over the Mavericks.
Impact Pippen saw extended playing time Monday after Ja Morant (ankle) departed for the locker room. Pippen took advantage of the extended playing time as he recorded a team-high six assists while connecting on all four shots from the field. Pippen signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Grizzlies in January, and he started in the last 11 games of the 2023-24 regular season, during which he averaged 14.5 points, 4.5 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals over 26.7 minutes. Pippen is looking to establish himself as the first guard off the bench behind Morant and Marcus Smart.

Brandon Clarke - Leads bench with 17 points Clarke tallied 17 points (7-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-5 FT), four assists, one rebound, one block and one steal across 21 minutes in Monday's 121-116 preseason win over the Mavericks.
Impact Clarke was the first big man off the bench for the Grizzlies on Monday, and he was one of three reserve players to play 20-plus minutes during the preseason opener. Clarke returned from an Achilles injury late during the 2023-24 regular season, and he missed the final three games of the campaign due to a hand contusion. The 2019 first-round pick will use the preseason to establish a consistent frontcourt reserve role behind Jaren Jackson (hamstring) and rookie first-rounder Zach Edey.
OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE
Santi Aldama - Scores 11 points vs. Dallas Aldama finished Monday's 121-116 preseason win over the Mavericks with 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal across 19 minutes.
Impact Aldama was inserted into the starting lineup Monday due to Jaren Jackson (hamstring) and Vince Williams (lower leg) dealing with injuries. Aldama started in 35 of 61 games during the 2023-24 regular season, averaging 10.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.9 blocks across 26.5 minutes. The 2021 first-round pick will likely begin the upcoming season in a reserve role behind Jackson and rookie center Zach Edey.
