Sidelined 2-to-3 weeks Bane suffered a Grade 2 sprain of his right big toe Nov. 11 versus Minnesota and will be sidelined for 2-to-3 weeks.

Impact Bane's absence will leave a major void in Memphis' scoring department -- he's averaging 24.7 points per contest on the season. He's also been a key floor spacer for the Grizzlies, shooting a career-best 45.1 percent from long range through the first 12 games. John Konchar joined the starting five in Bane's absence Sunday and may remain in that role, but Konchar is far from the real-life or fantasy performer Bane can be.

Making season debut Tuesday Jackson (foot) intends to make his season debut Tuesday versus the Pelicans, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.

Impact If all goes well leading up to tipoff, Jackson will make his season debut in the nationally-televised contest against the Pelicans. It'll be the forward's first matchup since undergoing offseason foot surgery in late June. With the return of Jackson looming, Santi Aldama will presumably return to his normal role off the bench.

NOVEMBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not on injury report Morant (ankle) isn't on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Morant was unavailable Sunday against the Wizards due to an ankle injury but will be back on the court following a one-game absence. Over his last four appearances, he's averaged 28.3 points, 8.0 rebounds and 7.0 assists in 35.5 minutes per game.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Tuesday Jackson (foot) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Jackson hasn't yet played this year while recovering from offseason foot surgery, but he didn't have an injury designation better than doubtful on any injury reports prior to Tuesday's matchup. He certainly seems to be trending in the right direction but will likely be eased into action once he's cleared to make his season debut.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful Tuesday Bane (toe) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Bane was sidelined Sunday against Washington, and it seems unlikely that he'll be able to return to the court against New Orleans. Assuming he's out, John Konchar should continue to see increased playing time for Memphis.

The Secret Is Out on How Good the Grizzlies Can Be The young Memphis Grizzlies aren’t underdogs anymore, and that’s causing some growing pains. But they are confident — and having fun.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • NYTIMES.COM

Locks in from three Aldama amassed 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 102-92 loss to Washington.

Impact Aldama scored nine of his 15 points from beyond the arc and knocked down three triples for just the second time in 14 games this season. He's finished in double figures in back-to-back contests but certainly isn't a lock to do so on a consistent basis. It is good to see Aldama put in work on the glass, collecting seven or more rebounds in four of his last five matchups.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Notches fourth double-double Adams logged 12 points (6-8 FG), 10 rebounds, six assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 102-92 loss to the Wizards.

Impact Adams turned in an efficient day on the offensive end and also crashed the glass, finishing with 10 or more rebounds for the ninth time in 13 contests so far this season. He's also recorded a steal in each of his last three games and a block in two of his last three.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Can't find shooting touch Brooks had 19 points (7-22 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 28 minutes during Sunday's 102-92 loss to the Wizards.

Impact Brooks needed 22 attempts to reach 19 points, as he set a new season high in shots. He's shooting 37.3 percent (31-for-83) from the field over his last five contests, and he hasn't added much value elsewhere for fantasy managers with three steals, two blocks and 11 assists over that stretch.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Decent scoring off bench Roddy closed with 11 points (5-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and one block over 28 minutes during Sunday's 102-92 loss to the Wizards.

Impact Roddy scored in double figures for the first time since Nov. 4 against Charlotte. He also saw a large uptick in minutes, but this is likely due to the absence of both Ja Morant (ankle) and Desmond Bane (toe). Roddy will likely struggle to see consistent minutes once his teammates return to health, as he totaled just 20 minutes in his previous three contests prior to Sunday's matchup.
