Killian Tillie - Out again Sunday Tillie (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rockets.
Impact Tillie will miss a second consecutive game due to left knee soreness. He's only appeared in four games since the All-Star break, so his absence isn't likely to affect the Grizzlies' rotation.
MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ja Morant - Out Sunday Morant (knee) is out Sunday against the Rockets.
Impact Morant suffered the right knee injury during Friday's loss to the Hawks, and he'll need to sit out at least one game to recover. The Grizzlies don't play again until Wednesday, so he'll get extended time off to rest. In his absence, De'Anthony Melton and Tyus Jones should see increased roles.

Jaren Jackson Jr. - Decent all-around effort Jackson amassed 15 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 24 minutes during Friday's 120-105 loss to the Hawks.
Impact Jackson was efficient from the floor while filling the stat sheet in a game where the entire Memphis offense struggled. He's lacked consistency at times this season but seems to be trending in the right direction of late, as he has scored in double digits in each of his last five appearances.
MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Desmond Bane - Scores 15 points Friday Bane ended with 15 points (5-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Friday's 120-105 loss to the Hawks.
Impact Bane needed 14 shots to score 15 points and was particularly woeful from three-point range, but he still ended as one of Memphis' best players in a game where the entire offense seemed to struggle. Bane has now scored 15 or more points in seven of his last eight contests.
MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dillon Brooks - Struggles from field in loss Brooks had 11 points (5-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block across 26 minutes during Friday's loss against the Hawks.
Impact Brooks has started in his past three games since returning from a lengthy absence due to an ankle injury, and while he has scored in double digits in each of those contests, it was clear that this was far from his best effort -- he needed 13 shots just to score 11 points. Considering Brooks has yet to log more than 26 minutes in any of his three games since returning, he seems to be on a minutes restriction and that hurts his upside, especially since he's also dealing with some rust given the time he spent on the sidelines.

Ja Morant - Sustains knee injury Morant exited Friday's loss to Atlanta with knee soreness, Meghan Triplett of GrindCityMedia.com reports.
Impact Although Morant was forced to the locker room in the second half of Friday's matchup, he led the team in scoring, assists and minutes. In total, he logged 29 points (11-23 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-9 FT), three rebounds and four assists in 33 minutes. Coach Taylor Jenkins said after the game that he doesn't know the severity of Morant's injury, so his status for Sunday's game against Houston isn't yet clear. If he's forced to miss time, Tyus Jones and De'Anthony Melton should see enhanced roles.

Tyus Jones - Shifts to bench Jones will come off the bench Friday against the Hawks.
Impact With Ja Morant (back) returning to the lineup after a one-game absence, Jones will shift back to a reserve role. He's averaging 8.2 points, 4.1 assists and 2.4 rebounds across 20.3 minutes per game this season.
MARCH 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Killian Tillie - Ruled out Friday Tillie (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Atlanta.
Impact Tillie dealt with left knee soreness ahead of Friday's matchup, and he'll be unable to suit up as a result. Xavier Tillman and Jarrett Culver could see slightly increased run.
MARCH 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ja Morant - Good to go Friday Morant (back) is active for Friday's game against Atlanta, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Impact As expected, Morant will return to the court Friday following a one-game absence due to a sore back. The 22-year-old is averaging 27.5 points, 6.7 assists, 5.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 33.3 minutes per game this season. He should be available for his usual workload against the Hawks.

Killian Tillie - Dealing with knee soreness Tillie is questionable for Friday's game in Atlanta due to left knee soreness.
Impact Tillie played six minutes during Tuesday's win over the Pacers and was originally absent from Friday's injury report, so it's unclear when he suffered the knee injury. He's played sparingly of late and Memphis' frontcourt is otherwise healthy, so his status shouldn't be an issue versus the Hawks.
