Memphis Grizzlies DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) will be active on Thursday against the Indiana Pacers. Before the All-Star break, Memphis played out a back-to-back set, and Williams Jr. did not play in the second leg. It has been a tough season for Williams Jr., who has made only six appearances due to health issues. He has averaged 5.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 14.8 minutes. Williams Jr.'s role should grow over the final couple of months of the season if he can stay clear of injuries.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (knee) is not on the injury report for Thursday's clash against the Indiana Pacers. The Grizzlies superstar was unavailable for the previous game due to a sore knee. Luke Kennard received a start against the Los Angeles Clippers on Feb. 12 and is poised to return to the bench now that Morant is back. Morant is having his best month of the season in February, averaging 23.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 7.8 assists, and 1.5 steals.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (knee) will miss the game against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday. He was previously considered a game-time decision for the contest, but the team has downgraded Morant's status from questionable to out. With Morant sidelined, Luke Kennard and Scotty Pippen Jr. will assume additional responsibilities. Meanwhile, Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr. are expected to increase their offensive contributions.
