Jock Landale News, Rumors, Updates - Atlanta Hawks

Another solid preseason outing Landale tallied 12 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 17 minutes during the Grizzlies' 141-125 preseason win over the Heat on Friday.

Impact Landale's six rebounds were tied with Olivier-Maxence Prosper for second most on the Grizzlies behind PJ Hall (seven). Landale has scored 12 points in back-to-back games and has started at center for each of the Grizzlies' four preseason contests. The fifth-year Saint Mary's product appears to have the upper hand on Santi Aldama for the starting job at center for at least the start of the 2025-26 regular season.

Notches 12 points in loss Landale produced 12 points (4-6 FG, 4-5 FT), three rebounds and one block in 22 minutes of Wednesday's 145-116 preseason loss to the Hornets.

Impact Landale drew the start at center again alongside Jaren Jackson. Santi Aldama is likely to play more minutes than Landale, but the latter may start on Opening Night if the Grizzlies want Aldama to be the primary weapon for the second unit. Landale has averaged 10.0 points, 5.7 rebounds and 0.7 blocks through three exhibitions and could be on the deep-league fantasy radar while Zach Edey (ankle) is out.

Full-court sprints and inhalers: Grizzlies put their trust in Tuomas Iisalo to bring about a new era

Starting Saturday Landale (rest) will be in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason game against the Hawks.

Impact Landale will be in the first five after sitting out Wednesday's game against the Celtics for rest purposes. He came one point and three rebounds shy of a double-double in his last preseason outing Monday against the Pistons.

Suiting up vs. Atlanta Landale (rest) will play in Saturday's preseason game against the Hawks, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Impact Landale didn't play against the Celtics on Wednesday due to rest, but the big man will be available for this contest Saturday. Landale should see steady minutes in the rotation as frontcourt depth for the Grizzlies, but he isn't expected to be a starter even with Zach Edey (ankle) set to be sidelined for Opening Night.

Impact Landale was surprisingly absent from the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest, and it looks as though he'll get a rest day. Lawson Lovering will draw the start at center instead. Landale will likely be back in action Saturday against Atlanta.

Not starting Wednesday Landale is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's exhibition against the Celtics.

Impact Lawson Lovering will draw the start in Landale's place, so it'll be interesting to see how many minutes Landale receives in this meaningless game. Landale could have sporadic value throughout the season when the Grizzlies rest their main guys, but when everyone is healthy, it's tough to see him being useful in standard settings.

Flirts with double-double in start Landale finished with nine points (3-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 19 minutes during Monday's 128-12 preseason loss to the Pistons.

Impact Landale started for the first game of the preseason, an expected move following injuries to both Jaren Jackson (toe) and Zach Edey (ankle). It was an encouraging performance by Landale, who was making his debut for Memphis following an offseason move from the Rockets. The Grizzlies will be without both Edey and Jackson to begin the season proper, meaning Landale should play a sizeable role, at least for the first week or two. Beyond that, he will likely serve as a depth piece, assuming the frontcourt remains relatively healthy.

Starting preseason opener Landale is in the starting five for Monday's preseason game against the Pistons.

Impact Landale will start over Vince Williams in the Grizzlies' preseason opener Monday, marking his debut with the team. The big man appeared in 42 regular-season games for the Rockets last season, averaging 4.8 points and 3.3 rebounds across 11.9 minutes per contest.

Signed by Memphis The Grizzlies signed Landale (knee) on Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Landale played in 42 games for Houston last season, averaging 4.8 points and 3.3 rebounds per game, shooting a career-high 53.3 percent from the field.
