Brandon Clarke - Suffers eye injury Saturday Clarke didn't return to Saturday's 116-110 win over the Bulls after he was poked in the left eye earlier in the contest.

Impact Before departing, Clarke put up four points (2-5 FG), three rebounds and one block in 11 minutes. Though he remains a reserve in the Memphis frontcourt, Clarke has established himself as a worthy 12-team-league option since the calendar flipped to January, as he's averaged 12.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.3 blocks and 0.8 steals in 22.2 minutes per game while shooting 65.6 percent from the field during that 24-game stretch. His status will warrant monitoring ahead of Monday's matchup with the Spurs.

Impact Before exiting, Konchar produced one point (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds across eight minutes. The reserve wing can be viewed as day-to-day heading into Monday's game against the Spurs.

Desmond Bane - Struggles from field in win Bane fouled out of Saturday's 116-110 win over the Bulls after recording 12 points (4-18 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal across 28 minutes.

Impact While Bane has scored in double digits in six straight games for the Grizzlies, this wasn't one of his finest performances. He needed 18 shots just to score 12 points, and in fact, he hasn't cleared the 15-point mark in three of his last six appearances. That's not bad by any means and his role as one of the best scoring threats for the Grizzlies is very much alive, though it is a worrying trend for someone who was averaging 18.1 points per game until the end of January. In comparison, he's only putting up 15.4 points while shooting 34.9 percent from the field across nine games in February.

Steven Adams - Pulls down 21 boards Adams finished with 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 FT), 21 rebounds, five assists and two blocks in 35 minutes during Saturday's 116-110 victory over Chicago.

Impact Adams recorded his fourth double-double over his last six appearances, with the rebound total representing a new season high for the big man from New Zealand. The 28-year-old center remains an elite contributor in that category, but his production in other areas tends to be lean. Even though February has been his best month of the season from a production standpoint, Adams is still averaging only 9.8 points, 4.8 assists, 0.9 blocks and 0.1 steals while shooting 63.8 percent from the field and 46.7 percent from the free-throw line.

Ja Morant - Reaches career-best scoring mark Morant racked up a career-high 46 points (15-28 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 13-15 FT) to go with four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Saturday's 116-110 win over Chicag...

Impact Not only did Morant's scoring haul represent a new career-best mark, but his 46 points also were the most by any Grizzlies player in franchise history during the regular season. He also established another franchise record Saturday by reaching 20 points for his 16th consecutive game. The third-year point guard is averaging 27.1 points, 6.7 assists, 5.9 rebounds, 1.5 three-pointers and 1.2 steals per game on the season, production that should put him on track for a spot on an all-NBA team.
