ImpactThe injury sounds relatively minor, but Portland tends to be cautious with their veterans. With Grant sidelined, Portland could lean more on players such as Jabari Walker and Matisse Thybulle.

John Konchar - Available to play SaturdayKonchar (thumb) is available to face the Trail Blazers on Saturday.
ImpactKonchar was deemed as "expected to play" earlier on Saturday, so having him available is not really surprising. Considering how depleted the Grizzlies are due to injuries, expect Konchar to slot right back into the starting unit. He's been part of the first unit in 13 of his last 14 appearances.

Deandre Ayton - Ruled out to face MemphisAyton (hand) has been ruled out to face the Grizzlies on Saturday.
ImpactAyton was initially listed as doubtful, but he won't be suiting up to face Memphis in a battle of two injury-riddled teams that won't be making the playoffs and are already thinking about next season. Ayton's next chance to play will come against the Timberwolves on Monday.

Luke Kennard - Available for SaturdayKennard (illness) is available for Saturday's game versus Portland, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.
ImpactKennard missed the past three games for Memphis, but he's finally healthy again and will give the Grizzlies a big lift with his perimeter shooting. With how many injuries the Grizzlies are dealing with, Kennard will likely have more touches and shots coming his way.
