Remains out indefinitely Konchar (thumb) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Konchar hasn't played since Dec. 7 due to a torn UCL in his left thumb that required surgery, and he is expected to be re-evaluated any day now. Still, he should be considered week-to-week until the Grizzlies offer an update on his progress.

To be evaluated in three weeks Konchar underwent successful left thumb surgery Thursday and will be re-evaluated in three weeks.

Impact The team initially reported that Konchar was out indefinitely following surgery, so this latest update brings some more clarity around his timetable for a return. He'll remain sidelined at least until the end of the calendar year and likely into January as he rehabs from a procedure that repaired a torn UCL in his left thumb.

Undergoing thumb surgery The Grizzlies announced Thursday that Konchar (thumb) is out indefinitely, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Konchar is set to undergo surgery to repair a torn UCL in his left thumb, which he sustained during Sunday's game against Portland. A timeline for a return will be determined once the surgery is completed. His absence should free up a few extra minutes for Jaylen Wells and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.

Season-high 13 points in defeat Konchar finished with 13 points (5-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and three assists across 18 minutes during Tuesday's 126-119 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Konchar scored a season-high 13 points, reaching double figures for the first time in 2025-26 altogether. The forward has averaged 3.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 12.7 minutes per contest over 20 games this season, so his fantasy appeal has been minimal thus far.

Limited output in win Konchar accumulated three points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals across 20 minutes during Thursday's 137-96 win over Sacramento.

Impact Konchar remains on the edge of the rotation in Memphis, and he's still miles off the fantasy radar. Through 14 appearances, he's averaging 2.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.9 steals in 12.3 minutes per contest.

Limited role continues Konchar had one rebound in three minutes during Tuesday's 133-120 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Konchar continues to play nothing more than a depth role, logging single-digit minutes for the six games, two of which he failed to see the floor at all. Despite injuries to other players, Konchar has seen no benefit, a worrying sign for what might be to come. There is no reason to have him rostered, even in deeper formats.

NOVEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Full stat line in win Konchar racked up nine points (4-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three steals, two assists and two blocks in 25 minutes in Saturday's 128-103 win over the Pacers.

Impact Konchar didn't reach double figures but contributed across the board Saturday, stuffing the stat sheet with a combined five steals and blocks. The wing totaled just 16 minutes over the Grizzlies' first two games before logging 25 in this contest. While there's little path to cracking the starting lineup with promising second-year Jaylen Wells and stalwart Jaren Jackson entrenched at forward, Konchar has flashed that he can provide valuable minutes when called upon.

Modest outing in preseason finale Konchar scored five points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and added two rebounds, an assist and a block across 15 minutes in Friday's 141-125 preseason victory over Miami.

Impact Konchar is buried in the Grizzlies' depth chart and isn't expected to have a major role to begin the regular season. He is in competition with Vince Williams, GG Jackson and Santi Aldama for minutes, but expect more clarity regarding the team's rotation in the coming days as Memphis prepares for its first regular season game against the Pelicans on Wednesday.

Impact Konchar led the Grizzlies' second unit in rebounds during a productive performance Saturday. The 29-year-old averaged 2.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists across 17.0 minutes per game during the club's first-round series. Konchar has two years remaining on his contract, and he finished the 2024-25 campaign with averages of 2.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 0.7 steals across 12.1 minutes per contest in 46 regular-season games.
