Memphis Grizzlies forward Jake LaRavia (ankle) will miss a 12th consecutive game on Tuesday against the Knicks. He hurt his left ankle in the same matchup on Jan. 13 and was diagnosed with a Grade 2 high ankle sprain. The 22-year-old was set to be re-evaluated by the team in three weeks, but there haven't been any updates on LaRavia's status. Memphis could really use an extra body right now, as the team rolled with only eight players against Boston on Sunday.
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward John Konchar (calf) could be out for a second straight game on Tuesday, as the team considers him questionable for a clash with the Knicks. Konchar is bothered by a right calf contusion and landed on the shelf with several players at the weekend ahead of a meeting with Boston. Jacob Gilyard and Scotty Pippen Jr. benefited from the backcourt absentees. Both players put up decent numbers against the Celtics and could play a large part in the proceedings again on Tuesday if Memphis can't get any players back.
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (hip) is unlikely to suit up for Tuesday's matchup against the Knicks, as the team considers him doubtful for the game. Jackson Jr. stepped out of the lineup Sunday versus Boston, allowing Trey Jemison to make his first career start. The 24-year-old rookie failed to impress, but he will likely get a new chance on Tuesday, as Memphis simply doesn't have many alternative frontcourt options due to injuries. Matt Hurt will also benefit from Jackson Jr.'s absence.
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (tailbone) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Knicks. He was out on Sunday against Boston with a tailbone contusion and might miss another game. David Roddy and GG Jackson benefited from Aldama's absence at the weekend and could play a large part again in New York as the Grizzlies continue to deal with a number of injuries.
Memphis Grizzlies guard Vince Williams Jr. (wrist) continues to deal with left wrist soreness and has been tagged as questionable for their Tuesday night contest against the New York Knicks. The second-year guard could not suit up against the Boston Celtics on Sunday and the Grizzlies were missing over half of their roster in a 40-point loss. Williams has become a big-time fantasy asset since the injuries have piled up for the Grizzlies. Across his last 13 games, Williams has averaged 15.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.2 steals, 2.3 made threes, and 1.9 turnovers a game while shooting 50.8% from the floor and 43.5% from deep. If Williams plays, he's a must-start, but if he has to miss another game, the Grizzlies' health is too erratic to name a streaming option until there's a clearer report.
