Javon Small News, Rumors, Updates - Memphis Grizzlies

Logs career-high 22 points Small ended with 22 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one block across 28 minutes during Saturday's 122-115 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Ja Morant's (elbow) extended absence has sent ripples through Memphis' rotation, and it's resulted in meaningful minutes for Small off the bench. A turf toe injury stymied Small's league debut earlier in the season, but the team's decision to keep the rookie with the patent club will begin to show dividends as they navigate a campaign that's destined for a rebuild.

Strong line off bench Small amassed 14 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 117-98 loss to Phoenix.

Impact Ja Morant (calf) missed his third game in a row Wednesday, but he's presumed to be day-to-day. Small finished a couple points shy of his season-best mark of 16 points, and he showed good instincts as a playmaker as well. He's worth monitoring in Memphis with the team dealing with so many injuries.

Hands out five assists off bench Small registered seven points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal over 16 minutes during Sunday's 120-114 loss to the Lakers.

Impact The absence of Ja Morant (calf) allowed Small to log his most minutes since October. Small recently returned from an extended absence with a turf toe injury, and it's possible he'll be bounced from the backcourt rotation entirely once Morant makes his way back into the fray.

Will play Tuesday Small (toe) is available for Tuesday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Small hasn't played since early November due to a left turf toe injury but will return to the lineup Tuesday. With Cedric Coward (heel), Ja Morant (ankle) and several other Memphis players sidelined, Small could see meaningful burn during his return.

Upgraded to questionable Small (toe) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Jazz.

Impact The Grizzlies expected Small to miss at least three more weeks as of Dec. 11, but he appears to be well ahead of schedule in his recovery from a left turf toe injury. He hasn't played since Nov. 5 and would likely face significant limits to his playing time if upgraded to available Tuesday.

To miss at least three more weeks Small (toe) is expected to miss at least three more weeks, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Small is recovering well from a turf toe injury, though he could be out for as long as five more weeks. His absence doesn't seem to affect the Memphis rotation a great deal, but Cam Spencer should hang onto a decent role even when Ja Morant (calf) is cleared to return.

Re-evaluated in three weeks Small (toe) will be re-evaluated in three weeks, the Grizzlies announced Saturday.

Impact Small has been sidelined since being diagnosed with turf toe back on Nov. 8. Based on this timetable, Small's earliest return date would be Dec. 7 against the Trail Blazers. Small is on a two-way contract and has appeared in eight regular-season games thus far for 12.5 minutes per contest.

Still sidelined Small (toe) won't play in Saturday's game against Cleveland.

Impact Small is battling turf toe on his left foot, and the issue will keep him sidelined for a fourth consecutive game. It's unclear when he'll be able to return to the hardwood, but his absence should have minimal impact on the Grizzlies' rotation. His next chance to play will come Tuesday against San Antonio.
