Scores 14 points in spot start Huff logged 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt), three rebounds and two blocks over 25 minutes during Monday's 120-118 victory over the Suns.

Impact Huff made his second start of the season Monday due to the absences of Zach Edey (ankle) and Jaren Jackson (ankle), and he made the most of the opportunity. His fantasy upside will be tied to the availability of Edey going forward, though, so fantasy managers who trusted in Huff as a streaming should be cautious when judging his upside going forward.

Starting Monday vs. Phoenix Huff is in the Grizzlies' starting lineup against the Suns on Monday.

Impact Huff has seen inconsistent playing time with the Grizzlies, but the big man will make his second start of the season Monday due to the absences of Zach Edey (ankle) and Jaren Jackson (ankle). Huff's first start was Nov. 13 against the Lakers, and he finished that game with six points, three rebounds, one block and one steal over 13 minutes.

Recalled to NBA The Grizzlies recalled Huff from the G League's Memphis Hustle on Tuesday.

Impact Huff logged 33 minutes in Tuesday's 118-108 G League loss to the South Bay Lakers, finishing with 21 points (7-18 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, two steals and four blocks. He was recalled right after the game and will continue to provide emergency depth at the NBA level, although he could be asked to step up in the absence of Jaren Jackson (ankle).

Back in rotation Monday Huff totaled no counting stats in one minute during Monday's 128-109 victory over San Antonio.

Impact Huff played a grand total of one minute, continuing his rapid fall from grace. After earlier in the season making a name for himself with some intriguing performances, Huff has barely been in the rotation of late, playing fewer than 10 minutes in six straight games. Even with Brandon Clarke (back) sidelined, the fact Huff was only used sparingly during garbage time does not bode well for his long-term role.

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 11 points in return Huff ended with 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt), one rebound and one block across 11 minutes during Wednesday's 129-115 win over the Spurs.

Impact Huff returned from a one-game absence, adding depth to the center rotation in Memphis. The team is currently running with Huff, Zach Edey and Brandon Clarke, limiting the opportunities for all three. Whatever they are doing seems to be working, meaning Huff is unlikely to move into a sizeable role, at least not with the team's current mindset.

Upgraded to available Huff (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Huff is good to go despite managing a knee injury, though it's not a certainty he'll take the court against San Antonio after sitting out Monday's loss to Houston as a coach's decision. The 26-year-old big man is averaging 7.6 points, 0.7 blocks and 1.6 threes while shooting 44.0 percent from three-point range over his last seven appearances.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Wednesday Huff (knee) is probable for Wednesday's matchup against the Spurs.

Impact Huff is dealing with left knee soreness, though he is expected to suit up Wednesday. The big man was held out of Monday's loss to the Rockets due to a coach's decision, and over his last five outings, he has averaged 5.6 points and 1.6 rebounds in 12.8 minutes per contest. Huff will likely continue to receive little playing time unless injuries arise at the center position.

Good to go Monday Huff (knee) is available for Monday's game against Houston.

Impact Huff will suit up after having been deemed probable for Monday's contest due to left knee soreness. The big man has seen inconsistent playing time of late, and over his last five outings, he has averaged 5.6 points and 1.6 rebounds in 12.8 minutes per contest.

JANUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Monday Huff is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Rockets due to left knee soreness.

Impact Huff's knee soreness seems to be a new ailment, but it likely won't be enough to keep him sidelined Monday. Huff has seen inconsistent minutes of late, and he seems to be trending toward a smaller role as the team gets healthy. He has averaged 5.6 points and 1.6 rebounds in 12.8 minutes over his last five appearances.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Boost in minutes Huff provided 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and two steals across 28 minutes during Monday's 119-104 victory over the Mavericks.

Impact Huff is averaging 15.3 minutes per game this season off the bench. However, during Monday's win against the Mavericks, he saw an increased role, taking starter Zach Edey's spot in the second half. Huff continues to be a force from deep, going 3-for-6 from beyond the arc, where he's shooting an impressive 42.7 percent this season.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 17 off bench Huff produced 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), one rebound and two assists across 17 minutes during Sunday's 130-106 loss to Oklahoma City.

Impact With Zach Edey (concussion), Santi Aldama (ankle) and Brandon Clarke (knee) all sidelined, Huff stepped up for the shorthanded Grizzlies in his largest workload since Dec. 8. Huff has made the most of his limited minutes all season and will be on the streaming radar unless the Grizzlies get some reinforcements back for Tuesday's game against the Suns.

DECEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in return Friday Huff had seven points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds in 13 minutes during Friday's 132-124 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact Huff returned from a four-game absence, playing a limited role off the bench. Despite somewhat of a coming out party earlier in the season, Huff has struggled to carve out a consistent role. With Zach Edey continuing to develop and Brandon Clarke playing well as a makeshift center, it is unclear whether Huff will find a path to meaningful minutes with the current roster construction in Memphis.

DECEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Playing Friday against NOLA Huff (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Huff is set to return Friday from a four-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. In the 10 games prior to his injury, he averaged 8.7 points and 3.3 rebounds over 16.1 minutes per contest. Huff will join Brandon Clarke in providing big man depth off the Grizzlies' bench behind rookie starter Zach Edey.

DECEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy Friday vs. Pelicans Huff (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against New Orleans.

Impact Huff is in jeopardy of missing his fifth consecutive outing due to a sprained left ankle. If the 27-year-old joins Santi Aldama (ankle), Vince Williams (ankle) and GG Jackson (foot) on the sideline, Jake LaRavia and Brandon Clarke should continue to receive a slight uptick in playing time off the bench

DECEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Huff (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Huff hasn't played since suffering an ankle injury during a Dec. 15 loss to the Lakers. His next chance to suit up will come Friday in New Orleans.

DECEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Monday Huff (ankle) is out for Monday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Huff will miss a third consecutive game due to a left ankle sprain. His next opportunity to suit up comes Thursday against the Raptors.

DECEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play against Atlanta Huff (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Huff will be sidelined for a second straight game due to a left ankle sprain, and his next opportunity to play will be against the Clippers on Monday. Huff's absence should mean more minutes for Brandon Clarke and Santi Aldama off the bench.

DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Thursday Huff is out for Thursday's game against the Warriors due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Huff will miss a game for the first time this season. However, his absence won't impact the Grizzlies' rotation significantly. The big man is averaging just 14.6 minutes per game in December, putting up 3.7 points and 0.7 rebounds per contest.

DECEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Huff (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Lakers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Impact Huff carried a questionable tag into Sunday's contest due to left knee soreness, but he will officially be active. Huff could see a decreased role going forward due to Zach Edey (ankle) being back in the lineup.

DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to play Sunday Huff is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers with left knee soreness.

Impact Huff could be in danger of missing a game for the first time this season. The big man has seen steady minutes off the bench for Memphis, but he isn't playing enough to be relevant in most fantasy formats. He's averaging 9.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 0.7 blocks per game over his last 10 appearances, all of them coming off the bench.

DECEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Pours in 17 points Huff supplied 17 points (6-14 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 24 minutes during Sunday's 140-112 win over Washington.

Impact Huff had the hot hand off the bench as he produced his 14th game of the season with double-digit points. His lack of peripheral stats makes him a tough sell outside of deeper formats, however, as he's averaging 9.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.6 blocks and 1.8 three-pointers through five December outings.

DECEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Fails to impress again Huff totaled eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one rebound and one steal in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 121-116 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Huff continues to play as the primary backup behind fill-in starter Brandon Clarke. While it has been a great opportunity for Huff, his production of late has been trending in the wrong direction. Over the past three games, he has averaged just 5.0 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.7 combined steals and blocks in 13.3 minutes per game. With Zach Edey a chance to return from an ankle injury in the near future, Huff's opportunity could be about to come to an unceremonious end.

DECEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited minutes in loss Huff supplied six points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one rebound across 13 minutes during Tuesday's 122-110 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Huff managed just 13 minutes despite the fact the Grizzlies were without Zach Edey due to an ankle injury. While Brandon Clarke continues to start at center, there had been some hope that Huff would step into a larger role. Up against a Nuggets team without their own starting center, this may have been an unfortunate matchup for Huff. He remains an elite per-minute producer and while this was not a great start, his role is worth monitoring moving forward.

NOVEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Moves back to bench Huff is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Warriors, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Impact Huff will return to the bench for this game with Brandon Clarke (toe) returning to the first unit. Huff is averaging 10.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game when coming off the bench in 11 appearances this season.
