Dariq Whitehead Shams: MEM, Dariq Whitehead agree to 10-day deal
Thu, Apr 2, 2026, 5:02 PM
Shams Charania
ESPN's Shams Charania reports that the Grizzlies signed Dariq Whitehead to a 10-day contract.
Analysis: The 22nd overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, Whitehead struggled to stay healthy throughout his time with the Nets. Waived just before the end of training camp in October, he has spent this season with Oklahoma City's G League affiliate before Thursday's move to Memphis. Whitehead will look to use this opportunity as a springboard into something more secure for the 2026-27 campaign. |

Taj Gibson Taj Gibson (foot) doubtful vs. Toronto
Thu, Apr 2, 2026, 12:47 PM
NBA Injury Report
Taj Gibson (foot) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Gibson has missed Memphis' last three games, and the doubtful tag means he'll likely miss a fourth on Friday. The veteran forward/center is more valuable to the locker room than to fantasy basketball. |

Taylor Hendricks Taylor Hendricks (thumb) absent from injury report
Thu, Apr 2, 2026, 12:34 PM
NBA Injury Report
Taylor Hendricks (thumb) is not on the injury report for Friday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Hendricks is back after sitting out Wednesday's loss to the Knicks. With Olivier-Maxence Prosper (back) listed as doubtful, Hendricks is likely to take his place in the starting lineup on Friday. In this scenario, Hendricks is worth rostering due to his defensive potential. |

Olivier-Maxence Prosper Olivier-Maxence Prosper (back) doubtful vs. TOR
Thu, Apr 2, 2026, 12:31 PM
NBA Injury Report
Olivier-Maxence Prosper (back) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Prosper, who has performed well since moving into the Grizzlies' starting lineup, is on track to miss Friday's game. Most, if not all, of the minutes he was playing will go to Taylor Hendricks, who's back after sitting out Wednesday's loss to the Knicks. |

Olivier-Maxence Prosper Olivier-Maxence Prosper posts 17/4/1/2/1 line
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 5:27 PM
Olivier-Maxence Prosper tallied 17 points (6-of-11 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, two steals, one block and one three-pointer in Wednesday's loss to the Knicks.
Analysis: Like GG Jackson, Prosper has been asked to play out of position due to the Grizzlies' many injuries. He had a good night against the Knicks, shooting good percentages from the field and the foul line while recording a complete stat line. As long as he's available, Prosper is worth rostering. The Grizzlies' forward is rostered in 11 percent of Yahoo! leagues going into Memphis' final two games of Week 23. |

GG Jackson GG Jackson scores team-high 20 points vs. New York
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 5:27 PM
GG Jackson produced 20 points (8-of-12 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, four assists, one block and three three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Knicks.
Analysis: Including Wednesday, Jackson has scored 20 points or more in three of his last six appearances. The Grizzlies forward may not bring much to the table defensively, but he has become a player who should be rostered in 14-team leagues as Memphis plays out the season. Jackson should have two more opportunities to provide value, but the Grizzlies' second game of Week 23 is the first half of a back-to-back. |

NBA Injury Report
Olivier-Maxence Prosper (wrist) is not on the injury report against the Knicks on Wednesday.
Analysis: O-Max will be back following a one-game absence. With Taylor Hendricks (thumb) listed as doubtful, Prosper should fill the void in the starting unit. Prosper has started every game since Feb. 21. |

Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 12:07 PM
NBA Injury Report
Ty Jerome (ankle) has been ruled out against the Knicks on Wednesday.
Analysis: Jerome will miss a fifth straight game, which means Cam Spencer, Javon Small and Walter Clayton Jr. will continue to fill the point guard minutes. Small will be back after a one-game absence, so he should start, with the other two coming off the bench. |

Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 1:24 PM
Memphis Grizzlies
Taj Gibson (foot) is out for Monday's game against the Suns.

Olivier-Maxence Prosper Olivier-Maxence Prosper (wrist) out vs. Phoenix
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 1:19 PM
NBA Injury Report
Olivier-Maxence Prosper (wrist) will not play against the Suns on Monday.
Analysis: Prospoer is one of several Grizzlies ruled out for Monday's contest. The third-year forward has started games for Memphis lately and is playing well, scoring 31 points against the Rockets on Friday.

Olivier-Maxence Prosper Olivier-Maxence Prosper, Taj Gibson doubtful
Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 1:00 PM
NBA Injury Report
Olivier-Maxence Prosper (wrist) and Taj Gibson (foot) are doubtful for Monday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Prosper's availability is far more consequential for fantasy managers, as he has been a consistent presence in the Grizzlies' starting lineup. Taylor Hendricks is off the injury report for Monday's game, and he can slide into the spot in the starting lineup that's usually occupied by Prosper. As for Gibson, his absence would not affect fantasy basketball or the Grizzlies' rotation. |

Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 12:53 PM
NBA Injury Report
Ty Jerome (ankle) and Jaylen Wells (toe) are out for Monday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: The biggest beneficiaries with Jerome and Wells out have been Javon Small and Cedric Coward, with the latter enjoying one of his best games of the season in Saturday's win over the Bulls. With Small considered doubtful with a back injury, a lot of the Grizzlies' offense will run through Coward and Cam Spencer. |

DeJon Jarreau DeJon Jarreau (elbow) scores 14 points vs. CHI
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 5:15 PM
Memphis Grizzlies
DeJon Jarreau recorded 14 points (5-of-7 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), two rebounds, three assists, one steal and two blocks in Saturday's win over the Bulls.
Analysis: Jarreau had to leave Saturday's game during the fourth quarter with a sore right elbow, but he was effective in his 19 minutes before being shut down. All that his stat line lacked was a three-pointer, but this was a solid performance for a player whose second 10-day contract is winding down. |

Rayan Rupert MEM starts Small, Coward, Rupert, Jackson, O-Max
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 1:40 PM
NBA Lineups
Javon Small, Cedric Coward, Rayan Rupert, GG Jackson and Olivier-Maxence Prosper will start Saturday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: The Grizzlies won't have Taylor Hendricks for Saturday's game, which opens a spot in the starting lineup. Rupert will fill the void. While his playing time should be plentiful, Rupert is not worth the risk in most fantasy leagues. |
|

Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 1:15 PM
Memphis Grizzlies
Taj Gibson (foot) is out for Saturday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Gibson's absence does not affect fantasy basketball, as he only played nine minutes in Friday's loss to the Rockets. Memphis will continue to rely on Olivier-Maxence Prosper and GG Jackson in the frontcourt. |

Taylor Hendricks Taylor Hendricks, Jahmai Mashack questionable
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 8:12 AM
NBA Injury Report
Taylor Hendricks (thumb) and Jahmai Mashack (ankle) are questionable for Saturday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: While Hendricks started Friday's loss to the Rockets and played 30 minutes, Mashack was not available due to a sprained ankle. If Hendricks can't play, his absence would open a spot in the starting lineup. As for Mashack, there may be additional minutes available on the perimeter since Ty Jerome is out and Cam Spencer is doubtful. |
