Memphis Grizzlies DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) will not suit up for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic, having been downgraded from questionable to out. Williams Jr. lands on the shelf following a 20-minute outing on Thursday against the Indiana Pacers. He is managing left knee soreness. Williams Jr.'s exit from the lineup creates additional playing opportunities for GG Jackson II and Luke Kennard. On Thursday night, neither player impressed, as they combined for 5-for-12 shooting.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) has received a questionable status for Friday's matchup with the Orlando Magic. The 24-year-old has struggled mightily with injuries all season but has played in four of the team's last five games. He did, however, sit out of one half of their last back-to-back, so it wouldn't be surprising if they held him out of Friday's game after they played Thursday against the Indiana Pacers. Santi Aldama, GG Jackson II, and Luke Kennard will likely receive some more minutes off of the bench if Williams doesn't suit up. The former is still one of the best fantasy options in deep leagues, and he dropped 10 points, seven rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block in an off night against the Pacers.

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.
