Grizzlies' Luke Kennard: Retreating to bench Saturday
Kennard is not in the Grizzlies' starting lineup against the Jazz on Saturday.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Dazzles in playmaking role
Bane registered 20 points (9-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt) and 14 assists over 34 minutes during Friday's 139-126 victory over the Pelicans.
Bane operated as the Grizzlies' primary playmaker Friday due to the absence of Ja Morant (illness), and he responded by tying his season-high mark in assists. Bane has recorded eight or more assists in five of his 10 games in January, a span in which he's averaging a robust stat line of 21.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.7 steals per game.

Grizzlies' Luke Kennard: Shines in spot start once again
Kennard totaled 27 points (10-14 FG, 7-9 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Friday's 139-126 victory over New Orleans.
Kennard started in place of Ja Morant (illness) on Friday and delivered another impressive performance, draining seven of his nine three-pointers and reaching the 20-point plateau for the second consecutive appearance. Kennard is going through his most productive stretch of the season, scoring in double digits in 10 of his last 12 contests while averaging 14.3 points and shooting 55.7 percent from three in that span.

Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Records double-double
Edey ended with 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 11 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 24 minutes during Friday's 139-126 win over the Pelicans.
Even though the big man was on the wrong end of a poster dunk by Yves Missi, Edey still posted a decent stat line while notching a double-double for the first time since his 21-point, 16-rebound effort against the Raptors on Dec. 26. Edey has started in all but one of his 11 appearances in January, averaging 5.8 points, 6.2 rebounds and 0.9 blocks across 18.5 minutes per game in that span.

Grizzlies' Luke Kennard: Starting Friday
Kennard is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
The Grizzlies will be without Ja Morant for this contest, so Kennard will enter the first unit. This means Kennard will slot at shooting guard, with Desmond Bane operating as the primary playmaker.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Ruled out Friday
Aldama (illness) is out for Friday's game against the Pelicans, head coach Taylor Jenkins told Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal.
Aldama exited Wednesday's win over Charlotte early due to this illness, and while he's not likely to miss considerable time, he won't be ready to face New Orleans. This means his next chance to suit up will come Saturday against Utah in the second leg of a back-to-back set, although it wouldn't be surprising if he misses that game as well.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Ruled out Friday
Morant (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
After recording a double-double in Wednesday's win over the Hornets, Morant will not play in Friday's game against New Orleans. The superstar guard has been in and out of the lineup all season long for Memphis, which has led to the team leaning on Scotty Pippen and Luke Kennard to shoulder the load in the backcourt.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Absent from shootaround
Morant (illness), who is questionable for Friday's game against New Orleans, was absent from Friday's morning shootaround, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Morant's absence from shootaround bodes poorly for his status while he deals with an illness. If the superstar is sidelined, Scotty Pippen and Luke Kennard should receive an uptick in playing time.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Iffy against New Orleans
Morant is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Pelicans due to an illness.
Morant contracted an illness overnight and is now in danger of missing Friday's contest. If the star guard is ultimately ruled out, Scotty Pippen and Luke Kennard are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence.

Grizzlies' Marcus Smart: Remains out
Smart (finger) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans.
Smart will miss his 16th consecutive contest due to the sprained right finger, and there's no clear timetable for his return to game action. The veteran guard should still be considered week-to-week until Memphis provides another update on his status.

Grizzlies' Jake LaRavia: Ruled out for Friday
LaRavia (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against New Orleans.
LaRavia will miss his second consecutive contest due to low back soreness, and his next chance to suit up will come Saturday against the Jazz. With Santi Aldama (illness) at risk of joining LaRavia on the sideline, Brandon Clarke, Luke Kennard and John Konchar could all see a slight uptick in playing time off the bench.
