John Konchar - Late scratch FridayKonchar is a late scratch for Friday's game against the Clippers due to an illness.

ImpactThe Grizzlies will be close to full strength Friday, as Ja Morant is back from his illness. But with Konchar sidelined, we could see Vince Williams pick up more minutes. Konchar is averaging 17.3 minutes per game in December.

ImpactJackson has played six minutes so far, but he's missed all five of his shots and is scoreless. If he's unable to return, it's likely that Julian Strawther and Christian Braun will absorb his minutes.

ImpactAldama is back in the mix after sitting out Thursday's game versus the Nuggets. Xavier Tillman has been struggling for the Grizzlies in recent games, so Aldama has a big opportunity in front of him.

ImpactThis will be the seventh game in a row on the shelf for Rose, but coach Taylor Jenkins is hopeful to have him back Sunday versus the Kings. Once Rose does get the green light, he'll likely absorb the backup point guard minutes behind Ja Morant.

Luke Kennard - Won't play FridayKennard (knee) will sit out Friday's game against the Clippers, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.

ImpactKennard will miss his 20th game in a row Friday, but coach Taylor Jenkins is hopeful to have him back for Sunday's game against the Kings. When Kennard does get the green light, he'll have increased competition for minutes with Vince Williams playing well for Memphis.
