Jack White - Joins the Grizzlies White signed a 10-day contract with the Grizzlies on Tuesday.

APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE
Zavier Simpson - Gets another 10-day deal Simpson signed a second 10-day contract with the Grizzlies on Tuesday.

Yuta Watanabe - Remains sidelined Watanabe (personal) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Spurs.
Impact Watanabe hasn't played since March 1. It's unclear if he'll be able to play again this season.
APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE
John Konchar - Won't play Tuesday Konchar (heel) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against San Antonio.
Impact Konchar's next opportunity to take the court comes in short order with Memphis set to close a back-to-back Wednesday versus Cleveland, so his status will need to be monitored. Scotty Pippen, Jordan Goodwin and Xavier Simpson represent the traditional ballhandlers currently healthy for Memphis.
APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE
Luke Kennard - Out against San Antonio Kennard (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.
Impact Kennard will miss a third straight game due to left knee injury recovery. His next chance to suit up will come during the second half of Memphis' back-to-back set Wednesday in Cleveland, but Kennard can be considered questionable, at best, for that matchup.
APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE
Santi Aldama - Unavailable Tuesday Aldama (foot) will be inactive for Tuesday's game against San Antonio.
Impact Aldama will miss his fourth consecutive contest due to a right foot strain. The Grizzlies' frontcourt is currently populated by GG Jackson, Brandon Clarke and Maozinha Pereira, while Lamar Stevens (groin) is doubtful for Tuesday's contest.
APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE
Vince Williams Jr. - Still out Williams (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.
Impact Williams' breakout campaign has come to a screeching halt, as he'll miss a 15th straight game due to left patellar tendonitis. It's unclear if he'll suit up again this season, but his next chance will come during the second half of Memphis' back-to-back set Wednesday in Cleveland.
APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE
Lamar Stevens - Tagged as doubtful Stevens (groin) is doubtful Tuesday versus San Antonio.
Impact Stevens is joined by Lake LaRavia (ankle) as doubtful for Tuesday's contest. Stevens has averaged 10.3 points and 6.7 rebounds in 25.0 minutes across his last three appearances, so a sizable role be remain vacated if he is forced to miss his second consecutive contest due to left groin soreness.
APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE
Desmond Bane - Remains out Bane (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.
Impact Bane will miss a sixth straight game due to back soreness. His next chance to suit up will come during the second half of Memphis' back-to-back set Wednesday in Cleveland, but at this point, it feels like the Grizzlies will shut down their top players for the final week of the regular season.
APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE
Jake LaRavia - Considered doubtful for Tuesday LaRavia (ankle) is doubtful to play Tuesday versus San Antonio.
Impact LaRavia appears on track to be sidelined for a second consecutive contest due to a left ankle sprain. With Memphis set to be missing 6 to 7 members of the recent rotation, LaRavia's injury is unfortunate timing for the second-year wing's ability to continue getting reps.
APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE
Jaren Jackson Jr. - Won't play Tuesday Jackson (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.
Impact Jackson will miss a third straight game due to a lingering quad issue after suiting up for the previous nine matchups. Tuesday's game is the first half of a back-to-back set, so Jackson may return Wednesday. However, at this point, the Grizzlies may just shut down their regulars for the final week of the regular season.

San Antonio plays Memphis for conference showdown
Memphis and San Antonio will face off in a matchup of Western Conference opponentsAPRIL 8 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Timmy Allen - Makes debut Saturday Allen accumulated two points (1-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and two rebounds across 26 minutes during Saturday's 116-96 loss to Philadelphia.
Impact Allen logged 26 minutes in his debut for the Grizzlies, fresh off signing a 10-day contract that will take him through to the end of the season. Although there is a chance he plays meaningful minutes down the stretch, we would need to see a lot more than this to consider him a viable fantasy asset, even in deeper formats.
APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE
Zavier Simpson - Strong two-way effort Saturday Simpson provided 14 points (4-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals over 30 minutes during Saturday's 116-96 loss to the 76ers.
Impact Simpson Logged at least 30 minutes for the second consecutive game, cobbling together easily his best performance of the season. While we have seen flashes from Simpson during his time in Oklahoma City, managers should not make any significant moves based on this effort. He is someone to consider, should his role continue to yield meaningful production.
APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE
Maozinha Pereira - Double-doubles in loss Pereira provided 13 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 36 minutes during Saturday's 116-96 loss to Philadelphia.
Impact Playing in just the seventh game of his career, Pereira recorded his first career double-double. He has now played at least 30 minutes in two straight games, making the most of his opportunities. While he is someone to consider picking up, his role is far from secure given the current state of the Grizzlies roster. Feel free to take a chance on him but don't be surprised if he is out of the rotation at some point soon.

Maozinha Pereira - Starts against 76ers Pereira is in the starting lineup to face the 76ers on Saturday.
Impact The Grizzlies will only have eight players available for Saturday's contest against the 76ers, and Pereira will get the starting nod to replace Jake LaRavia (ankle). Pereira is averaging 5.8 points and 4.3 rebounds per contest in his six appearances with Memphis this season.
APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE
Luke Kennard - Out against 76ers Kennard (knee) will not play Saturday against the Grizzlies.
Impact Kennard will miss his second straight game, leaving Memphis in rough shape. The Grizzlies will have just eight players available after signing Timmy Allen to a 10-day contract.
APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE
Jake LaRavia - Out against 76ers LaRavia (ankle) will not play against the 76ers on Saturday, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Impact This was the expectation with LaRavia carrying a doubtful tag prior to this update. The Grizzlies just signed Timmy Allen to a 10-day contract and could give him an extended look Saturday.
APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE
Lamar Stevens - Ruled out Saturday Stevens (groin) is out for Saturday's game against the 76ers, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Impact Stevens was already listed as unlikely to play based on recent reports, so his absence is not surprising. His next chance to play will come Tuesday against the Spurs.
APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Clarke - Available for Saturday Clarke (rest) is available for Saturday's game against the 76ers, according to Memphis reporter KJ Wright.
Impact Clarke was held out for rest Friday against the Pistons, but he's officially back in action Saturday. The forward is averaging 12.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 blocks through four games.
