Rotoworld Player News

Ja Morant

MEM Guard #12

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Ja Morant (calf) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Jazz.

Morant was a full participant in Thursday’s practice and did not experience any issues. If he can play on Friday, Vince Williams Jr. would head to the bench. Morant’s return would also affect Cam Spencer, who has been more efficient than Williams recently.
Javon Small

MEM Guard #10

Javon Small (toe) is expected to return to action in three to five weeks.

Small suffered a turf toe injury in his left foot while playing for the Grizzlies’ G League affiliate in early November and has not played since. The updated timeline provided by the team gives him a shot at playing in early January. Whether Small’s availability affects fantasy basketball depends on the availability of Ja Morant, Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen Jr. And with Vince Williams Jr. and Cam Spencer being the point guard rotation with those three out, Small is unlikely to get the opportunities needed to affect fantasy basketball.
John Konchar

MEM Guard #46

John Konchar will have surgery to repair a torn UCL in his left thumb.

Konchar suffered a UCL tear in his left thumb against the Trail Blazers on December 7. The 29-year-old shooting guard is set to have surgery. A timeline for return will be provided after the procedure.
Zach Edey

MEM Center #14

Zach Edey (ankle) will be re-evaluated in four weeks after being diagnosed with a stress reaction in his left ankle.

Edey underwent surgery on his left ankle in June, which makes Thursday’s announcement especially concerning. The Grizzlies expect the 7-foot-4 center to make a full recovery, and they’ll take an “offloading and rehabilitation” approach before re-evaluating him in four weeks. Jock Landale began the season as the starting center and should return to that role, making him a worthwhile addition in deeper leagues. There should also be more minutes available to Santi Aldama, but Landale should be the primary target of fantasy managers.
Ja Morant

MEM Guard #12

Ja Morant (calf) was a full participant in practice on Thursday and could play on Friday against the Jazz.

Morant has missed 10 games with a calf injury after playing only six minutes on November 15th against the Cavaliers. It now seems like we have a good chance of seeing him back on the court on Friday. In his stead, Vince Williams Jr. has taken over the starting point guard role and had performed well before slowing of late. Cam Spencer has also begun to earn more minutes at Williams’ expense over the last week, but both players should see their minutes and usage take a hit when Morant returns.
Santi Aldama

MEM Forward-Center #7

Santi Aldama erupted for a game-high 22 points (7-of-11 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), seven rebounds, one assist and two steals over 28 minutes, leading the Grizzlies to a 119-96 blowout win over the Trail Blazers.

Aldama spearheaded an impressive effort from the Memphis reserves in this one as the Grizzlies got a staggering 69 bench point, including double-digit performances from Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Jock Landale and Cam Spencer, to power the club to their seventh win over their last nine games. Aldama’s unexpected offensive surge helped make up for the absence of scoring machine Ja Morant, who sat this one out with a lingering calf injury. The Grizzlies have just one game next week when they face the Jazz on Friday night.
Zach Edey

MEM Center #14

Zach Edey amassed 12 points (5-of-11 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), 10 rebounds and three assists across 21 minutes in Sunday’s win over the Trail Blazers.

Edey snapped out of his recent cold spell by recording his fifth double-double of the season, pulling down 10 boards in just 21 minutes before fouling out with just over six minutes left in a lopsided affair against the struggling Trail Blazers. The 23-year-old center is averaging 13.6 points, 11.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.9 blocks through 11 games this season. He’s performing at a near-elite level for fantasy purposes when he’s on the floor.
Jaylen Wells

MEM Forward #0

Jaylen Wells accumulated 16 points (4-of-8 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), five rebounds, three assists and two steals over 25 minutes during Sunday’s rout of the Trail Blazers.

Wells has been exceptional over the past two weeks, topping 15 points in six of his last seven games during that span, averaging 18.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 0.9 steals during that span. The 22-year-old guard continues to play big minutes with Ja Morant sidelined with a calf injury and should be rostered in most fantasy leagues at this juncture.
Ja Morant

MEM Guard #12

Ja Morant (calf) is out for Sunday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Initially doubtful for Sunday’s game, Morant is officially inactive. Vince Williams Jr. will continue to replace him in the starting lineup, with Cam Spencer playing additional minutes off the bench. While Williams is a solid option for managers needing assists, his low percentages have opened the door for Spencer to emerge as a solid deep-league option.
Ja Morant

MEM Guard #12

Ja Morant (calf) is doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

While the doubtful tag suggests that Morant won’t play on Sunday, the upgrade is a step in the right direction. Vince Williams Jr. will continue to start as long as Ja is unavailable, with Cam Spencer picking up additional minutes off the bench.
