Scotty Pippen

MEM Guard #1

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Kings.

Pippen is closing in on a return to action, but he isn’t ready yet. Ty Jerome and Cam Spencer will continue to handle the point guard duties, and both players are worth rostering in fantasy leagues.
Santi Aldama

MEM Forward-Center #7

Santi Aldama (knee) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Kings.

Aldama is back after a four-game absence. While his minutes will be restricted, the Grizzlies are playing their first game since trading Jaren Jackson Jr. and Jock Landale. And with Zach Edey still out with an ankle injury, Aldama is worth slotting into lineups despite the restriction.
Scotty Pippen

MEM Guard #1

Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe) is doubtful for Wednesday’s game against the Kings.

Assigned to the Grizzlies’ G League affiliate last week, Pippen is closing in on making his first appearance of the season. Like Ty Jerome, he’ll likely be under a minutes restriction once cleared to play. The doubtful tag suggests that Pippen ultimately won’t play in Sacramento, but the status represents a step in the right direction.
Santi Aldama

MEM Forward-Center #7

Santi Aldama (knee) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Kings.

Aldama has missed Memphis’ last four games, but this is the first in which he’s been listed as questionable. With the Grizzlies trading Jaren Jackson Jr. and Jock Landale on Tuesday, he’ll play plenty if cleared to go against the Kings.
Georges Niang

MEM Forward #31

Georges Niang, Walter Clayton Jr., Taylor Hendricks, Kyle Anderson and three future first-round picks have been traded to the Grizzlies in exchange for Jaren Jackson Jr., John Konchar, Jock Landale and Vince Williams Jr.

Niang, whom the Jazz signed to a one-year deal during the offseason, has yet to appear in a game this season due to a stress reaction in his left foot. His addition to the Grizzlies roster won’t affect fantasy basketball, as he does not have a timeline to return to action.
Kyle Anderson

MEM Forward-Guard #2

The Jazz traded Kyle Anderson, Walter Clayton Jr., Taylor Hendricks, Georges Niang and three future first-round picks to the Grizzlies for Jaren Jackson Jr., John Konchar, Jock Landale and Vince Williams Jr.

After 20 games in his first season with the Jazz, Anderson is going from one rebuild to another. Due to the limited playing time when he was active, Slo-Mo did not affect fantasy basketball in Utah. And that may not change in Memphis, despite this being his second stint (2018-22) with the franchise.
Taylor Hendricks

MEM Forward #0

The Grizzlies have acquired Taylor Hendricks, Walter Clayton Jr., Kyle Anderson, Georges Niang and three future first-round picks from the Jazz in exchange for Jaren Jackson Jr., John Konchar, Jock Landale and Vince Williams Jr.

Injuries marred Hendricks’ first two seasons, the second of which consisted of just three games due to a broken leg. The 2023 lottery pick has appeared in 33 games this season, but he was unable to work his way back into the starting lineup after beginning the 2024-25 campaign in that role. However, the move to Memphis may give Hendricks a better chance of carving out a concrete role, as the Grizzlies appear to be pivoting toward a rebuild. If so, Hendricks should have increased value during the silly season.
Jock Landale

MEM Center #31

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Jock Landale has been traded to the Utah Jazz in a trade involving Jaren Jackson Jr., multiple players and multiple first-round picks.

Landale will join Jackson Jr., John Konchar and Vince Williams Jr. in Salt Lake City as Walter Clayton Jr., Taylor Hendricks, Kyle Anderson and three first-round picks go to Memphis. Landale will provide depth at a crowded position in Utah, and unless additional moves are made to clear that logjam, his role will take a major blow with the change of scenery.
Walter Clayton

MEM Guard #13

The Jazz have traded Walter Clayton Jr., Kyle Anderson, Taylor Hendricks, Georges Niang and three future first-round picks to the Grizzlies for Jaren Jackson Jr., John Konchar, Jock Landale and Vince Williams Jr.

The 18th overall pick in last summer’s draft, Clayton did play rotation minutes for the Jazz this season. However, with Keyonte George making significant strides in terms of his ability to run a team and Isaiah Collier also in the fold, fantasy relevance was going to be incredibly difficult for the rookie to achieve. Depending on what the Grizzlies do with Ja Morant, either before the trade deadline or in the summer, Clayton could be an important piece as part of a rebuild if Memphis chooses that path. Based on Tuesday’s transaction, a complete rebuild may be the more likely option.
Vince Williams

MEM Guard #5

Vince Williams Jr. provided a boost off the bench with 16 points (4-of-7 FGs), one rebound, five assists, two steals and four three-pointers on Monday against the Timberwolves.

Williams was pushed back to the bench after starting the Grizzlies’ last game, but that didn’t stop him from having a productive night. He was one of seven players to score in double figures for Memphis, including three from off the bench. Williams matched his season high for scoring, and he was still able to contribute value in other categories. Williams hasn’t been productive like this in a while, so this doesn’t make him worth rostering in standard leagues.
