Ineligible for postseason Spencer, who is on a two-way contract with the Grizzlies, is ineligible for the NBA postseason.

Impact Spencer played in 25 games on the NBA level, averaging 4.2 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game, shooting 41.5 percent from the floor and 35.8 percent from beyond the arc. The 25-year-old guard suited up for eight games with the G League's Memphis Hustle, finishing with averages of 23.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.0 steals per game, shooting 53.8 percent from the floor and 49.3 percent from beyond the arc.

Productive in first career start Spencer notched 23 points (8-19 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 37 minutes during Sunday's 132-97 victory over the Mavericks.

Impact Spencer made the first start of his career and posted an impressive stat line, surpassing the 20-point mark and ending just three assists away from a double-double. However, most of the regulars are expected to return for Tuesday's matchup against the Warriors in the Play-In Tournament, meaning Spencer should return to having a minimal role off the bench going forward.

Back in rotation Saturday Spencer totaled three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) across five minutes during Saturday's 109-103 victory over Detroit.

Impact Spencer moved back into the rotation, albeit for a short five-minute stint. It's been an underwhelming rookie campaign for Spencer, playing in just 22 games thus far. In 9.4 minutes per game, he is averaging 3.7 points on 42.4 percent shooting from the floor.

Scores 16 points off bench Spencer notched 16 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and three steals in 20 minutes during Monday's 120-118 victory over the Suns.

Impact Spencer has been an absolute star in the G League this season, but he's been limited to just 13 appearances at the NBA level. Monday's outing was his best by a wide margin, although it's worth noting he saw sizable minutes since the Grizzlies were missing several rotation players. Spencer isn't expected to play a sizable role in the rotation once the Grizzlies are at full strength, so his fantasy upside shouldn't increase dramatically based on one good game.

Remains out for Saturday Spencer (thumb) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Spencer has been sidelined since early January after undergoing surgery on a broken left thumb. The rookie can be considered week-to-week until the team provides another update on his recovery.

To be re-evaluated in three weeks The Grizzlies announced Friday that Spencer (thumb) will be re-evaluated in three weeks.

Impact After suffering a fractured left thumb in Thursday's practice with the G League's Memphis Hustle, Spencer will get surgery and is facing an extended absence, but he's expected to make a full recovery. Amid the rookie second-rounder's absence, fantasy managers can look for Luke Kennard and Scotty Pippen to serve as the Grizzlies' first guards off the bench going forward.

Won't play Thursday Spencer (thumb) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Houston.

Impact Spencer will miss Thursday's contest due to soreness in his left thumb, and his next chance to play will come Saturday against Minnesota. The rookie out of UConn has received inconsistent playing time for Memphis thus far, and his absence shouldn't cause too many waves in the rotation with Ja Morant (shoulder), Santi Aldama (ankle) and Desmond Bane (ankle) all returning Thursday.

Questionable for Thursday Spencer (thumb) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Spencer might be unable to take the floor Thursday against Houston due to soreness in his left thumb. The 24-year-old guard has played in only 10 games for the Grizzlies this season, averaging 4.0 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game, shooting 43.3 percent from the floor and 31.3 percent from beyond the arc.

Logs meaningful minutes in win Spencer accumulated two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 117-112 win over Phoenix.

Impact Spencer played at least 16 minutes for the second straight game, sliding up in the rotation as the Grizzlies continue to deal with multiple injuries. Prior to this two-game stretch, Spencer had suited up on just six occasions all season. As Memphis start to get healthy bodies back on the floor, Spencer will likely scale back his playing time, to the point where he may or may not be in the rotation.

Rare appearance in win Spencer notched zero points (0-1 FG) in two minutes during Saturday's 128-112 victory over the Hawks.

Impact Spencer suited up for just the fifth time this season, playing two minutes during garbage time. It's been an underwhelming start to his career, averaging 4.2 points and 1.4 assists in 11.2 minutes per game. The Grizzlies are blessed with a deep roster, preventing Spencer from stepping into a consistent role. Barring a miracle, Spencer is unlikely to feature as an every-night part of the rotation moving forward.
