ImpactCrowder will be unavailable for the third consecutive game Friday as he continues to deal with a bruised left wrist. Cameron Johnson is likely to make another start in his place versus Minnesota.

Jae Crowder - Remains out FridayCrowder (wrist) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Timberwolves, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
JaVale McGee - Remains out vs. MinnesotaMcGee (knee) will remain out for Friday's game against Minnesota, Gerald Bourguet of PHNX Sports reports.
ImpactThe Suns have virtually the same injury report as Wednesday's game against Utah, so they'll be without McGee, Deandre Ayton (ankle) and Jae Crowder (wrist). As a result, expect Bismack Biyombo and Jalen Smith to once again mop up most of the minutes at center.

Deandre Ayton - Out FridayAyton (ankle) remains out Friday against the Timberwolves, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ImpactAyton continues to deal with a sprained right ankle, and Friday will mark his sixth straight absence. Bismack Biyombo and Jalen Smith should continue seeing increased minutes.

Donovan Mitchell - Questionable FridayMitchell (concussion) is questionable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
ImpactMitchell has missed the last five games due to a concussion, but the Jazz have been optimistic that the 25-year-old will be back in action this weekend. If he's forced to miss another game, Joe Ingles and Jordan Clarkson should continue to handle additional playing time.

Rudy Gobert - Officially out FridayGobert (calf) will not play Friday against the Grizzlies.
ImpactWhile the Jazz maintain that Gobert's strained left calf is not overly serious, he'll miss at least one more game, and it would not be a surprise if he ends up sitting out Sunday's contest at Minnesota. So long as the All-Star big man is sidelined, Hassan Whiteside should continue to start at center. Whiteside posted a 16-point, 11-rebound double-double with two blocks and a steal in Wednesday night's 105-97 loss to the Suns.

Trent Forrest - Questionable vs. GrizzliesForrest is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Grizzlies due to a sprained ankle, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ImpactForrest suffered the sprained ankle during Wednesday's loss to the Suns. He's seen real minutes since Donovan Mitchell (concussion) has been out, but Mitchell could return Friday, which would put an end to Forrest's small amount of fantasy relevance.

Donovan Mitchell - Could return over weekendThe Jazz are optimistic that Mitchell (concussion) will return to action at some point during either or both of the team's weekend games (Friday at Memphis, Sunday at Minnesota), M...
ImpactSpears' report suggests that Mitchell has progressed on at least some level since he entered the NBA's concussion protocol Jan. 18. Mitchell, who has missed the Jazz's last five games, may need to practice in some fashion Thursday and/or take part in the team's shootaround Friday morning to make himself available against the Grizzlies. If Mitchell remains out for another contest, Joe Ingles would likely stick in a starting role out of the backcourt alongside point guard Mike Conley.
