Vince Williams Jr. - Questionable for Sunday Williams is questionable for Sunday's game against the Celtics with left wrist soreness.
Impact The Grizzlies have yet another lengthy injury report. Ziaire Williams (hand) remains out, Jaren Jackson (hip) is now sidelined and John Konchar (calf) is questionable. If Williams manages to suit up Sunday, he could be looking at a significant role for Memphis.

John Konchar - Nursing bruised calf Konchar is questionable for Sunday's game against the Celtics due to a right calf contusion.
Impact This is a new injury for Konchar, who was previously dealing with a left ankle injury leading up to Thursday's contest. He'll likely need to make it through morning shootaround and pregame warmups to get the green light for Sunday night.

Xavier Tillman Sr. - Unlikely to play vs. Boston Tillman (knee) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Celtics.
Impact Tillman is in danger of missing his third straight matchup as a result of a left knee injury. With the Michigan State product not expected to go and Jaren Jackson (hip) ruled out, Memphis will likely rely on Santi Aldama, Vince Williams (wrist) and David Roddy to eat up a good chunk of the frontcourt minutes.

Jaren Jackson Jr. - Won't go vs. Celtics Jackson has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Boston due to right hip soreness.
Impact It's unclear as to when Jackson picked up the injury, but the Grizzlies will sit him down for Sunday's action. With Xavier Tillman (knee) tagged as doubtful, look for Santi Aldama, Trey Jemison and Matthew Hurt to shoulder most of the workload at center.

Luke Kennard - Eased back in with 18 minutes Kennard (knee) played 18 minutes and recorded six points (2-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists Friday in the Grizzlies' 121-101 loss to the Warriors.
Impact Though he had started in each of his last nine appearances, Kennard came off the bench Friday in his return from a three-game absence due to left knee soreness. Two-way player Jacob Gilyard ended up making a start out of the backcourt, but Kennard should eventually displace him on the top unit once he fully ramps back up from the recent absence. Kennard will likely have his minutes watched closely over the next came or two, but once he's free of restrictions, he should have a pathway to a meaningful role on a Grizzlies squad that's been decimated by injuries. Ja Morant (shoulder) is done for the season, and fellow guards Marcus Smart (finger) and Desmond Bane (ankle) appear unlikely to return to action until after the All-Star break.

Derrick Rose - Plays 16 minutes in return Rose finished with 12 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and four assists across 16 minutes during Friday's 121-101 loss to Golden State.
Impact Rose had missed 15 straight games (and 20 of 22) coming into Friday, so it's no surprise that he was eased back into the rotation with a modest 16 minutes of action. The veteran guard did well while he was on the court, however, providing a spark off the bench for a Grizzlies squad that has been hit hard by injuries. Rose was working as a starter earlier this season before hurting his hamstring in mid-December, but it's unclear if he'll return to that role at any point -- even with Ja Morant (shoulder) out for the season -- given his inability to remain healthy in recent years.

John Konchar - Records season-best rebound total Konchar amassed three points (1-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 12 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Friday's 121-101 loss to the Warriors.
Impact Konchar missed Memphis' previous contest due to an ankle injury, but he was able to suit up Friday and returned to the starting lineup. The fifth-year guard had a poor shooting night, but he partly made up for that by crashing the boards, leading the team with a season-high 12 rebounds. Konchar has grabbed double-digit boards in three games this season, but he's averaged just 4.7 points in those performances, highlighting the primary reason why he's on the waiver wire in most fantasy leagues.

Jaren Jackson Jr. - Carries offensive load in loss Jackson accumulated 27 points (8-21 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 9-11 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals over 31 minutes during Friday's 121-101 loss to the Warriors.
Impact Jackson led Memphis in scoring in the contest, as no other player on the team logged more than 16 points. The talented forward didn't shoot well, however, and he's now converted fewer than half of his field-goal attempts in six straight contests. With Ja Morant (shoulder) playing only nine games this season, Jackson has been asked to take on a bigger offensive load, and he's consequently producing a career-best 22.1 points per contest, though his field-goal rate is currently about six percent lower than it was last year.

Derrick Rose - Good to go Rose (hamstring) is good to go for Friday's game versus the Warriors.
Impact This will be Rose's first appearance since Jan. 2, but his return will be a welcome sight for Memphis considering how shorthanded they've been. The veteran guard will have an unspecified minutes restriction Friday.
FEBRUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE
Xavier Tillman Sr. - Officially out Tillman (knee) will not play in Friday's matchup with the Lakers.
Impact No surprise here, as Tillman was considered doubtful going into the evening. His absence will mark his second straight missed game. The big man's next chance to return will come Sunday in Boston.
FEBRUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE
Luke Kennard - Cleared to play Kennard (knee) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Warriors.
Impact Kennard has the green light to return from a three-game absence. Coach Taylor Jenkins said he will monitor Kennard's minutes, but he didn't get in to any specifics.
FEBRUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE
Derrick Rose - Will likely suit up Friday Rose (hamstring), who's listed as questionable, is expected to play Friday against the Warriors, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.
Impact While Rose will likely be available, the veteran will have his minutes monitored closely. He hasn't appeared in a game since Jan. 2 and hasn't played more than 15 minutes since Dec. 13.
