Good to go against Chicago Konchar (illness) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game versus the Bulls.
No-go Wednesday Konchar (illness) won't play in Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
Impact As expected, Konchar won't suit up for Wednesday's matchup with Philadelphia. The veteran wing will join Marcus Smart (illness) and Vince Williams (ankle) on the sideline, leaving plenty of work for Luke Kennard, Jaylen Wells and Santi Aldama. Konchar's next chance to play will come Saturday at Chicago.

Doubtful for Wednesday Konchar (illness) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
Impact Konchar has a minimal role with the Grizzlies, but his expected unavailability is unfortunate for the team with so many injuries on the wings. Luke Kennard and Jake LaRavia will likely have to log extended minutes Wednesday.

Fails to score Tuesday Konchar totaled zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and two steals across 11 minutes during Tuesday's 122-110 loss to the Nuggets.
Impact Konchar failed to score for the third straight game, continuing his underwhelming start to the season.

Brings defense, little else Friday Konchar (quadricep) played 20 minutes off the bench and finished with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two assists, two rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 20 minutes in Friday...
Impact The banged-up Grizzlies received some rare good news on the health front with the return of Konchar, who had missed the previous four games with a right quad contusion. With six other Memphis players sidelined due to injuries, Konchar ended up seeing a healthy minutes total in his return, but aside from providing some help in the defensive categories, his stat line was mostly empty. He'll likely continue to hold down a spot in the Grizzlies' wing rotation but could end up seeing his playing time get reduced once the likes of Ja Morant (hip), Marcus Smart (ankle), Desmond Bane (oblique) and Vince Williams (tibia) are cleared to suit up again.

Available vs. Washington Konchar (quadriceps) is available for Friday's game against the Wizards, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Impact Konchar has been dealing with a right quad contusion, but he'll snap a four-game absence and should see minutes off the bench in this one. That said, his fantasy appeal won't be very high due to his reduced role. Through three regular-season appearances this year, the 28-year-old has averaged 5.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks across 19.0 minutes per game while shooting 66.7 percent from the field.
