Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. As expected, Jackson will sit out after being listed as doubtful heading into this game due to right hip soreness. The Grizzlies are extremely shorthanded right now. That means, Santi Aldama should see a significant role in the rotation. Also, GG Jackson, Tosan Evbuomwan, and Trey Jemison should be involved as well. Jackson is likely the best streaming option out of the bunch.
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.
