Walker Kessler - Available ThursdayKessler (elbow) is available for Thursday's game against the Magic, KSL Sports reports.
Santi Aldama - Doubtful for FridayAldama (ankle) is doubtful for Friday's game against Portland.
ImpactAldama hasn't been able to make an appearance this season due to his lingering ankle issue. When he does get the green light, he'll immediately have a shot at significant rotation minutes with Steven Adams (knee) out for the season.

Bismack Biyombo - Signing with Memphis officialThe Grizzlies announced the signing of Biyombo to a one-year contract Thursday.
ImpactShams Charania of The Athletic previously reported Saturday that Biyombo had agreed to terms on a deal with Memphis, but the Grizzlies weren't able to formally add the veteran center to the 15-man roster until the team completed its fifth game of the season Wednesday. Biyombo is joining the roster via an exemption that the league has allotted to the Grizzlies while guard Ja Morant serves a 25-game suspension to open the season. Though Biyombo essentially taking Morant's spot on the roster, his addition is more about the Grizzlies looking to shore up their frontcourt with Steven Adams (knee) sidelined for the season and Brandon Clarke (Achilles) likely out until late in the campaign. Biyombo will be eligible to make his team debut Friday in Portland, and he could immediately have a spot in the rotation as the primary backup to starting center Xavier Tillman.

Jake LaRavia - Records four pointsLaRavia produced four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) over eight minutes during Wednesday's 133-109 loss to Utah.
ImpactLaRavia saw double-digit minutes in the first three games of the season but has been limited to single-digit minutes in the last two matchups. He's averaging 3.4 points in 12.2 minutes per game this year and doesn't have much fantasy upside, even with the Grizzlies dealing with several early-season absences.

John Konchar - Racks up seven boardsKonchar produced seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), seven rebounds and two assists over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 133-109 loss to the Jazz.
ImpactKonchar didn't appear in the Grizzlies' regular-season opener but has had relatively consistent playing time off the bench over the last four matchups. He generated modest production Wednesday and is now averaging 4.3 points and 6.5 rebounds in 22.3 minutes per game this season.

Jacob Gilyard - Tallies six assistsGilyard produced three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists and one steal across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 133-109 loss to the Jazz.
ImpactGilyard played a total of one minute over the Grizzlies' first four games of the season, but he saw an uptick in playing time during Wednesday's blowout loss with Derrick Rose (knee) sidelined. Rose is slated to miss at least a week, so Gilyard could continue to see some minutes in the near future. However, the 25-year-old doesn't have much streaming appeal outside of deep leagues.
