Short-handed Grizzlies, Blazers meet in two-game setTwo of the most injury-plagued teams in the NBA this season meet when the visiting Portland Trail Blazers face the Memphis Grizzlies on Frid...
GG Jackson II - Questionable for FridayJackson is being listed as questionable for Friday's matchup with the Trail Blazers due to a right quad contusion.
ImpactIf Jackson isn't able it give it a go Friday night, the Grizzlies could go into that game with just eight active players, so guys like Ziaire Williamson, Yuta Watanabe, Vince Williams and Jake LaRavia would get all the run they could handle. Check back for another update on Jackson following Friday's shootaround.

Derrick Rose - Not playing FridayRose (back) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
ImpactRose left Wednesday's 110-101 loss to the Timberwolves with back soreness and didn't return, and given his injury history, it's not surprising that he won't be available for this one. The Grizzlies are playing a back-to-back set against Portland on Friday and Saturday, and it remains to be seen if Rose will be available for the second half of that set.

Jaren Jackson Jr. - Won't play FridayJackson has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers due to right quad tendon soreness.
ImpactJackson appeared in the Grizzlies' last three matchups, averaging 25.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.0 steals and 2.3 assists in 33.3 minutes per game. However, he'll be unavailable for the first half of a back-to-back set Friday. Lamar Stevens and Trey Jemison are candidates to see increased work against Portland.

John Konchar - Doubtful for FridayKonchar (thumb) is doubtful to play Friday versus Portland.
ImpactKonchar is slated to sit out his third straight game due to his left thumb sprain, which should continue to result in more minutes for GG Jackson and Ziaire Williams. Konchar belongs on the waiver wire in most leagues.
FEBRUARY 29•ROTOWIRE
Luke Kennard - Doubtful for FridayKennard (illness) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
ImpactIt appears Kennard is on track to sit out his second straight game due to the illness, which should continue to benefit Jordan Goodwin. Check back for official confirmation on Kennard's status closer to Friday's tip.
FEBRUARY 29•ROTOWIRE
Kyle Anderson - Doubtful for FridayAnderson (knee) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Kings.
ImpactAnderson sat out Wednesday's game after spraining his knee during Tuesday's win over the Spurs, and it looks like he'll be missing his second straight game Friday evening. Naz Reid and Nickeil Alexander-Walker will be asked to pick up some of the slack while SloMo is out.
