Sees first action since November Lawson ended with two points (1-1 FG, 0-3 FT), two rebounds and one block in 16 minutes during Sunday's 83-81 win over Tulsa.

Impact Lawson had been sidelined since Nov. 24 due to an ankle injury, but he ended up seeing a season-high minutes total in his first game back. That can at least be partially attributed to the current Memphis injury situation, as key players such as Landers Nolley (knee), DeAndre Williams (back) and Jalen Duren (hand) were all held out Sunday. Lawson may still have an opportunity to carve out a role in the short term, though expect his minutes to decrease if or when Memphis eventually gets healthy.
