Memphis Grizzlies

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (quad) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The stud forward will sit this game out while he continues to nurse his quad injury. The Grizzlies aren't competitive right now, so it's not shocking to see them being cautious with their star forward. Trey Jemison has been inactive lately with Jackson back in the mix. He could become a relevant player with the Grizzlies still fairly banged up heading into Friday's game.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward John Konchar (thumb) will not suit up against the Timberwolves on Wednesday. He will miss his second consecutive contest due to the injury. In his absence, the 22-year-old Jake LaRavia could see a lot more action than he did on Monday against the Nets with Luke Kennard (illness) ruled out. Jordan Goodwin and Lamar Stevens could also see more minutes in the Grizzlies' rotation.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward John Konchar (thumb) is considered doubtful for Wednesday's action against the Timberwolves. He's in danger of missing a second consecutive contest with a left thumb sprain. Jake LaRavia saw a lot of extra action without Konchar on Monday versus Brooklyn and could get further opportunities on Wednesday, especially with Luke Kennard (illness) already ruled out. The likes of Jordan Goodwin and Lamar Stevens could also land in larger roles, although the Grizzlies rotation tends to be very unpredictable.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Luke Kennard (illness) won't play on Wednesday versus Minnesota. He has caught an illness bug and will come out of the lineup after starting in back-to-back games. Kennard's absence could help Jordan Goodwin back into the rotation. Following his trade from Phoenix, Goodwin put in a pair of solid performances with averages of 10.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 3.5 assists, but he hasn't logged a single minute of action in the last two games.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward John Konchar (thumb) has been ruled out against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday due to a thumb sprain. The 27-year-old was able to play 21 minutes in their last game against the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday and posted seven points, four rebounds, three assists, two steals, and one block. While he's been getting north of 20 minutes a night, Konchar hasn't turned that into consistent production that would help managers in shallower fantasy leagues. While he's watching from the sidelines, GG Jackson II, Jake LaRavia, and Lamar Stevens should all see some added time off of the bench.
