Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Dishes six dimes vs. Dallas
Pippen logged 12 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six assists and two rebounds over 18 minutes in Monday's 121-116 preseason win over the Mavericks.
Pippen saw extended playing time Monday after Ja Morant (ankle) departed for the locker room. Pippen took advantage of the extended playing time by recording a team-high six assists while connecting on all four shots from the field. Pippen signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Grizzlies in January, and he started the last 11 games of the 2023-24 regular season, during which he averaged 14.5 points, 4.5 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals over 26.7 minutes. Pippen is looking to establish himself as the first guard off the bench behind Morant and Marcus Smart.

Grizzlies' Brandon Clarke: Leads bench with 17 points
Clarke tallied 17 points (7-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-5 FT), four assists, one rebound, one block and one steal across 21 minutes in Monday's 121-116 preseason win over the Mavericks.
Clarke was the first big man off the bench for the Grizzlies on Monday, and he was one of three reserve players to play 20-plus minutes during the preseason opener. Clarke returned from an Achilles injury late during the 2023-24 regular season, and he missed the final three games of the campaign due to a hand contusion. The 2019 first-round pick will use the preseason to establish a consistent frontcourt reserve role behind Jaren Jackson (hamstring) and rookie first-rounder Zach Edey.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Scores 11 points vs. Dallas
Aldama finished Monday's 121-116 preseason win over the Mavericks with 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal across 19 minutes.
Aldama was inserted into the starting lineup Monday due to Jaren Jackson (hamstring) and Vince Williams (lower leg) dealing with injuries. Aldama started 35 of 61 games during the 2023-24 regular season, averaging 10.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.9 blocks across 26.5 minutes. The 2021 first-round pick will likely begin the upcoming season in a reserve role behind Jackson and rookie center Zach Edey.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Avoids serious injury
Memphis head coach Taylor Jenkins stated Morant suffered a minor ankle tweak during Monday's preseason game against Dallas, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.
Morant went back to the locker room on two separate occasions after suffering an ankle injury and then later experiencing some discomfort upon returning to the game. He'll be evaluated over the next few days back in Memphis, per Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site. Fortunately, there doesn't appear to be much concern about Morant's availability for the start of the regular season at this point.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Heads back to locker room again
Morant went back to the locker room in the beginning of the third quarter during Monday's preseason matchup against the Mavericks due to an ankle injury, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Morant rolled his ankle in the second quarter and limped back to the locker room before eventually reentering the game. However, the superstar came down wincing after a dunk and committed an intentional foul to exit the contest once again. It is unclear whether Morant will return, but it's likely that he'll be done for the night and the club will take an extended look at Scotty Pippen and John Konchar. If Morant's night is over, he'll end the game with 13 points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 18 minutes.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Back in action
Morant (ankle) has returned to Monday's preseason game against Dallas, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.
This is great news for the Grizzlies, as it's unlikely Morant would be back in the game if there was any chance he had suffered a serious injury. Even so, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Memphis take it easy with the star point guard in terms of playing time the rest of the way Monday.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Leaves game with ankle injury
Morant left in the second quarter of Monday's preseason game against the Mavericks due to an ankle injury, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.
Morant rolled his right ankle while getting back on defense, and he limped to the locker room shortly thereafter. If he's done for the night, Morant will finish with six points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block over 10 minutes. Scotty Pippen, Luke Kennard and John Konchar should see more minutes off the bench in Morant's absence.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Projected to start Monday
Aldama is expected to be in the starting lineup for Monday's preseason game against Dallas, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.
Aldama will enter the starting lineup Monday due to Jaren Jackson (hamstring) and Vince Williams (lower leg) dealing with injuries. Aldama will join the starting five of Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, Marcus Smart and rookie first-round pick Zach Edey.

Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Expected to start Monday
Edey is projected to be in the starting lineup for Monday's preseason game against the Mavericks, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.
With Jaren Jackson (hamstring) unavailable, the Grizzlies are expected to roll with Edey, Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, Marcus Smart and Santi Aldama as their starting five for Monday's preseason opener. Edey tweaked his ankle during the Summer League but has been a full participant during training camp.

Grizzlies' John Konchar: Expected to see increased run
Konchar (heel) is expected to receive increased playing time early in the season with Vince Williams (lower leg) and GG Jackson (foot) dealing with injuries, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Konchar averaged 4.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 21.3 minutes across 55 appearances, including 23 starts, in 2023-24 due to Memphis dealing with a multitude of injuries. With Jackson already expected to miss at least three months after undergoing foot surgery, Konchar should be in store for more minutes than initially expected in Memphis' forward rotation.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Dealing with low-grade strain
Jackson (hamstring) is dealing with a low-grade hamstring strain, and there is "no concern" that Jackson could miss Memphis' season opener versus Utah on Oct. 23, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Fears of Jackson dealing with a hamstring strain have been confirmed, but suffering a low level of severity bodes well for the 25-year-old. Coach Taylor Jenkins fully expects Jackson to be ready for Opening Night, while also noting that the Grizzlies will proceed cautiously with his activity throughout the remainder of training camp.

Grizzlies' Brandon Clarke: One hundred percent for camp
Clarke (hand) has been a full participant at training camp this week, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.
Clarke made his 2023-24 season debut March 27 after recovering from an Achilles injury, but he later missed the season finale with a hand contusion. That was a minor issue, however, and there have been no reported restrictions for Clarke. With Jaren Jackson (hamstring) injured to start camp, Clarke has a big opportunity during the preseason.

Grizzlies' Marcus Smart: A full go for camp
Smart (finger) has been a full participant at training camp this week, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.
Smart ruptured the proximal interphalangeal joint central slip on his right hand and last appeared in a game on Jan. 9. He was supposed to be re-evaluated before the end of the 2034-24 season for a possible return, but Memphis was out of the playoff hunt by then. Prior to his injury, Smart was productive, posting averages of 14.5 points, 4.3 assists, 2.7 rebounds, 2.1 three-pointers and 2.1 steals in 30.3 minutes in 20 appearances.

Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Participating in camp
Edey (ankle) has been a full participant in training camp this week, Matt Infield of Actions News 5 reports.
Edey tweaked his right ankle during the Summer League which shut him down early, but by all accounts, it was a minor issue. There's been no talk of any limitations at camp, and the expectations around Memphis are very high for the rookie. Edey was spotted hitting some three-pointers with ease and looks ready to compete for the starting center role.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Healthy for camp
Bane (back) has been a full participant in training camp this week, Michael Wallace of NBA.com reports.
A back injury robbed Bane of the final nine games of the 2023-24 season, and that took place shortly after he missed a couple of months with an ankle issue. He had a healthy offseason by all accounts, however, and fantasy managers will be looking for him to bounce back with his injuries behind him. In just 36 regular-season appearances last season, Bane averaged 24.7 points, 5.4 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 34.9 minutes.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Dealing with hamstring tightness
Jackson experienced hamstring tightness during Tuesday's practice, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.
Jackson will undergo imaging to determine the severity, but coach Taylor Jenkins said the team is "anticipating a strain," per Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com. If that's the case, Jackson will likely miss the preseason and could be sidelined to start the 2024-25 campaign.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Limited to start preseason
Grizzlies general manager Zach Kleiman said Monday that Spencer recently suffered an ankle sprain and will miss the beginning of preseason, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Spencer was shut down at the end of the Summer League with a minor ankle sprain, but it's unclear if this is related. A second-round pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Spencer was already facing an uphill battle to crack the rotation before this injury.

Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Out at least four weeks
The Grizzlies announced Thursday that imaging has revealed a stress reaction in the upper portion of Williams' tibia and he will be re-evaluated in approximately four weeks.
While Williams is expected to make a full recovery, he will almost certainly miss all of training camp and the preseason. The 24-year-old forward could remain sidelined for Memphis' regular-season opener Oct. 23 against Utah. Williams is slated to be one of the Grizzlies' top forward options off the bench when healthy this season.
