Questionable for Wednesday Small (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against San Antonio.

Impact Small is in jeopardy of missing a second consecutive contest due to lower-back soreness. If the rookie second-rounder isn't cleared to return to action, Cam Spencer, DeJon Jarreau and Walter Clayton would be candidates to see increased playing time.

Won't play vs. Hawks Small (back) is out for Monday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Small was added to the injury report earlier Monday due to lower back soreness, and the team has determined that he won't be able to suit up. Cedric Coward (personal), Jahmai Mashack (ankle) and Cam Spencer (back) are also out, which should leave plenty of chances for Rayan Rupert, DeJon Jarreau and Walter Clayton in the backcourt.

Questionable for Monday Small is questionable for Monday's game against the Hawks with lower back soreness.

Impact Small was a very late addition to the injury report. He's been averaging 15.9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.1 assists over his last seven games, so his potential absence would open up a lot of minutes in the backcourt.

Scores 13 points in loss Small posted 13 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 26 minutes during Friday's 117-112 loss to Boston.

Impact The rookie second-rounder started Friday due to the absence of Cedric Coward (personal) and certainly took advantage of his playing time to deliver another productive showing. Regardless of whether he's starting or coming off the bench, it's worth noting that Small has scored in double digits in five of his last six games -- as well as in six of nine since the beginning of March. Throughout the current month, the rookie out of WVU is averaging 12.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.1 assists while averaging 24.7 minutes per game in nine appearances (four starts).

Starting Friday Small will start Friday's game against the Celtics.

Impact The rookie second-rounder will step into the starting five due to the absence of Cedric Coward (personal). As a starter this season (five games), Small has averaged 14.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.4 steals in 29.4 minutes per contest.

Inactive Monday Small (G League) is inactive for Monday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Small has appeared in six straight games and scored in double figures in four of his past five appearances, averaging 15.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.0 three-pointers during that span. However, as a two-way player, he's eligible for only 50 NBA appearances this season, and the Grizzlies are electing not to burn one Monday. His next chance to suit up for the NBA club will come Wednesday in Denver.

Drops career-high 23 points Small posted 23 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Friday's 126-110 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Small continues to deliver, despite shifting between the bench and the starting unit. With Memphis openly resting players, Small's playing time has been tough to project. However, he has scored double digits in four of the past five games, averaging 15.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.0 three-pointers, good enough for top 60 value during that time. While there is certainly an element of risk, Small is someone to consider adding across most formats.

Coming off bench Friday Small is not in the Grizzlies' starting lineup against the Pistons on Friday.

Impact Small started in Thursday's 120-112 loss to the Mavericks and finished with 19 points, nine assists, two rebounds, one block and three three-pointers over 28 minutes. He'll revert to a bench role for Friday's contest due to the return of Ty Jerome (calf).

Nearly double-doubles Small racked up 19 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Thursday's 120-112 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Small continues to bounce in and out of the starting lineup while the Grizzlies deal with numerous injuries. Scotty Pippen (toe) has been ruled out for the season, while Ty Jerome continues to miss at least one half of back-to-back sets, and it's unclear when or if Ja Morant (elbow) will suit up this season. Not to mention, Walter Clayton (ankle), Cam Spencer (back) and Cedric Coward (knee) have also been regulars on the injury report the past few weeks. The nine dimes Thursday tied Small's season high, and as a starter this season (five games), he's averaged 14.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.4 steals in 29.4 minutes per game.

Pops for 19 points Small finished Monday's 126-115 loss to the Nets with 19 points (7-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals across 32 minutes.

Impact Small overcame a slow start to the game, ending with 19 points in 32 minutes. Memphis continues to rest players on a regular basis, allowing Small to play a sizeable role. In 11 appearances over the past month, he has managed to put up top 50 value in nine-category leagues, averaging 12.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.8 three-pointers. Assuming you can deal with the inconsistent playing time, Small makes for a viable addition to most rosters.

Small figures to see a heavy dose of minutes Monday for a banged-up Grizzlies squad.
