Memphis Grizzlies

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) will be out for a ninth consecutive game on Wednesday versus the Lakers. He remains on the shelf with a left patellar problem, with the team downgrading him from doubtful to out. Williams Jr.'s absence has secured significant roles in the rotation for GG Jackson II and Jake LaRavia. The young Grizzlies should relish the opportunity to pit their talents against LeBron James (ankle), who is expected to return to the Lakers lineup on Wednesday.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Brandon Clarke (Achilles) will suit up for Wednesday's game versus the Lakers. The 27-year-old hasn't played in over a year because of an Achilles tear that required surgery. Since then, he's been working his way back and has flirted with returning over the last few games. The Grizzlies could certainly use him, primarily since the roster is loaded with injuries. Although there's a realistic chance Clarke will be limited in his first game back, there's no denying his upside, especially when you consider his DFS rostering cost.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Brandon Clarke (Achilles) has been upgraded to questionable with just 10 games left in the season. Wednesday, the Grizzlies are set to meet the Lakers, with Clarke potentially playing after rehabbing a torn Achilles for over a year. Clarke finished last season with averages of 10.0 points and 5.5 rebounds coming off the bench. The 27-year-old's minutes will obviously be limited if he suits up and he shouldn't be considered a fantasy option for the remainder of the season.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jake LaRavia (illness), previously listed as a game-time decision due to illness, will be available to play against the Denver Nuggets on Monday. Despite being sick, he is healthy enough to play. In his last five games, he has averaged 11.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.2 steals. Desmond Bane (back) and Lamar Stevens (adductor), listed as questionable earlier in the day, will also be suiting up.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) is officially out on Monday versus the Nuggets. He's still dealing with tendonitis in his left patellar tendon. The 24-year-old has played 52 contests this season, averaging 10.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists. The Grizzlies lineup has been hampered with injuries this season. However, Desmond Bane (back), Scottie Pippen Jr. (shin) and Jake LaRavia (illness) will provide some relief to a depleted roster as they are available for Monday's tilt.
