Dillon Brooks - Return could come soon Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins said Brooks took a "huge step" forward in his recovery from a severe left ankle sprain at Wednesday's practice, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Co...

Impact Brooks remains limited to taking part in only light work in practices while he works his way back from the injury he sustained in early January, but Jenkins suggested the swingman would soon take contact in 3-on-3 and 5-on-5 drills before being cleared to rejoin the lineup. Jenkins noted that he was uncertain whether Brooks would immediately reclaim a starting role once healthy, but the 26-year-old should eventually supplant rookie Ziaire Williams on the top unit after he gets a few games under his belt. Expect Brooks to remain out through at least the Grizzlies' Saturday/Sunday back-to-back set against the Magic and Rockets, but a return to the court at some point next week could be in the cards.

Kyle Anderson - Questionable Saturday Anderson is questionable for Saturday's game against the Magic due to left foot soreness.

Impact Anderson has played double-digit minutes in each of the last four games, but he's now dealing with a foot injury. If he's unavailable Saturday, Brandon Clarke and Xavier Tillman should see an uptick in playing time.

Kyle Anderson - Contributes across board Anderson contributed six points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and six steals across 24 minutes during Thursday's 120-107 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Anderson didn't light up the scoreboard in Boston, but he did produce for his squad in a number of categories, including a season-high six steals. He's seen a definite uptick in minutes off the bench of late, logging 29, 24 and 24 minutes in his last three games, respectively.

Desmond Bane - Does damage from three Bane amassed 17 points (6-14 FG, 5-10 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal over 34 minutes during Thursday's 120-107 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Bane found his touch from deep in this one, doing nearly all of his scoring from three in Boston. He also had one of his best nights on the glass in nearly a month, as he'd been held to six boards or fewer in his last eight contests. Bane did struggle in the scoring department near the end of February, managing to score over 14 points just once in his last five games of the month, but his 17-point performance Thursday evening is certainly a reassuring sign for fantasy managers.

Jaren Jackson Jr. - Solid all-around production Jackson ended Thursday's 120-107 loss to the Celtics with 20 points (9-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block in 36 minutes.

Impact Jackson had been held to just 14 total points over his last two games coming into Thursday's matchup, but he was able to bounce back in Boston, finishing second on the team in scoring. He also produced for fantasy managers on the glass, turning in his best rebounding total since Feb. 24 against Minnesota. It's also worth mentioning that the Michigan State product has now swatted at least one shot in seven consecutive contests.

Ja Morant - Contines scoring at will Morant produced 38 points (13-29 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 8-8 FT), four rebounds and seven assists across 37 minutes during Thursday's 120-107 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Morant wasn't locked in from beyond the arc, but he still put up a huge scoring night, his third straight performance of 35-plus points. He also finished with his best assist total since Feb. 16 against Portland. There's no doubt that Morant will continue to be the focal point in the Grizzlies' offensive attack moving forward, and he'll face a favorable matchup against Orlando on Saturday.
