John Konchar News, Rumors, Updates - Memphis Grizzlies

Questionable for Wednesday Konchar (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

Impact The Grizzlies have added Konchar to their injury report for Wednesday while he manages right shoulder soreness. If the swingman cannot suit up against Toronto, more playing time would be available to GG Jackson and Jake LaRavia from Memphis' bench.

Retreats back to bench vs. HOU Konchar will come off the bench in Thursday's game against the Rockets, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

Impact With Desmond Bane (ankle) returning to game action Thursday, Konchar will slide back to the bench. The 28-year-old has seen inconsistent playing time over his last 10 appearances (three starts), during which he has averaged 3.8 points and 6.3 rebounds across 17.8 minutes per contest.

Returning to starting lineup Konchar is starting Monday's game against the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Konchar will get a chance with the first unit as the Grizzlies continue to contend with the injury bug. Konchar, Luke Kennard and Jake LaRavia could all see more run than usual given Desmond Bane's (ankle) absence Monday.

Will play Monday Konchar (shoulder) is off the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Konchar missed Saturday's contest against the Warriors due to left shoulder soreness, but he will return to the lineup Monday. Konchar could be hoisted into a bigger role in his return due to the plethora of injuries the team is dealing with.

Not playing Saturday vs. Warriors Konchar (shoulder) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against Golden State, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

Impact Konchar is nursing a sore left shoulder, which will cause him to be sidelined for Saturday's game. His next opportunity to play will be Monday against the Mavericks. Scotty Pippen and Cam Spencer are in line for more playing time due to Konchar's absence.

Questionable for Saturday Konchar (shoulder) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors.

Impact After returning to the bench against the Kings on Friday, Konchar struggled in 15 minutes on the floor. He failed to score and finished with only four rebounds. Memphis is dealing with several injuries to key players, which could result in a rough outing for the Grizzlies on Saturday against Golden State.

JANUARY 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Shifts to second unit Konchar is coming off the bench in Friday's game against the Kings, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

Impact After starting Memphis' past two games, Konchar will cede his spot in the first unit to the returning Brandon Clarke (calf) on Friday. Konchar has averaged 2.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 12.0 minutes over 17 games off the bench this season, so his streaming value appears to have evaporated.

JANUARY 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Pulls down 12 rebounds Konchar amassed seven points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 117-112 victory over Phoenix.

Impact Konchar recorded double-digit rebounds for the second time this season after grabbing 15 boards Sunday against the Thunder. Konchar finds himself on the streaming radar with the Grizzlies dealing with several key injuries in the frontcourt. Over his past two outings, Konchar posted averages of 5.5 points, 13.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.5 blocks and 2.0 steals.

JANUARY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Pulls down 15 rebounds Konchar ended Sunday's 130-106 loss to the Thunder with four points (2-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt), 15 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals in 34 minutes.

Impact Konchar made his first start of the season Sunday and made a huge impact on the glass by grabbing 15 rebounds. He didn't do much as a scorer, but fantasy managers in category-based leagues should be happy with his all-around contributions. The Grizzlies are a bit thin in terms of frontcourt depth, so don't rule out the possibility of Konchar seeing an uptick in minutes in the upcoming games.

DECEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Oklahoma CIty Konchar will start Sunday's game against the Thunder, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

Impact Konchar has seen a relatively limited role of late, but he will enter the starting five for the first time this season due to numerous players being out of the lineup. In four games this season with 20-plus minutes logged Konchar has averaged 4.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 21.8 minutes per contest.

DECEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Muted role continues Konchar ended Friday's 132-124 victory over the Pelicans with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over six minutes.

Impact Konchar played just six minutes, logging fewer than 20 minutes for the fifth straight game. It's been an underwhelming season for Konchar, sliding in and out of the rotation, seemingly on a nightly basis. In 17 games played, he is averaging 2.8 points and 2.8 rebounds in 12.0 minutes per game.

DECEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go against Chicago Konchar (illness) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game versus the Bulls.

Impact Konchar will return to action Saturday after missing Memphis' previous contest due to an illness. With Memphis dealing with a multitude of injuries, Konchar could receive increased playing time against Chicago.

NOVEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

NOVEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

NOVEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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. Despite the fact the Grizzlies are once again dealing with multiple injuries, Konchar has failed to make the most of his opportunities. To this point, he is averaging just 2.4 points and 3.5 rebounds in 15.3 minutes per game.

NOVEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

NOVEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

NOVEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed questionable for Friday Konchar (quad) is questionable for Friday's matchup against Washington.

Impact Konchar is in jeopardy of missing his fifth consecutive game due to a right quad contusion. 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.
