Vince Williams Jr. - Scores 13 points with five assists Williams closed Friday's 117-116 loss to the Thunder with 13 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one block in 23 minutes.

Impact Williams looked fine in his return from a one-game absence, so he should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Nets. The 25-year-old guard is averaging 7.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game this season.

Cedric Coward - Scores 13 points with nine boards Coward supplied 13 points (3-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), nine rebounds and four assists across 25 minutes during Friday's 117-116 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Coward did a nice job on the glass and getting easy buckets at the stripe, but he also committed some careless turnovers and finished with a season-high five giveaways. The turnovers were a team-wide issue, with Memphis committing 17 on the evening compared to Oklahoma City's six, and the Thunder outscored the Grizzlies 25-5 in points off turnovers.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - Doesn't return Friday Caldwell-Pope (jaw) exited Friday's 117-116 loss to the Thunder in the second quarter and did not return.

Impact Caldwell-Pope was deemed doubtful to return after exiting in the second frame. He finished with two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 10 minutes. The veteran guard's status will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's game against the Nets. If he's unable to suit up, Vince Williams and GG Jackson are candidates to see increased playing time off the bench.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - Doubtful to return Friday Caldwell-Pope is doubtful to return to Friday's game against the Thunder due to a jaw injury.

Impact Caldwell-Pope logged 10 minutes before exiting the contest with 4:09 remaining in the second quarter, recording two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal. In the likely event he isn't cleared to return, Vince Williams and GG Jackson are candidates to pick up the slack the rest of the way.

GG Jackson - Retreating to bench Friday Jackson won't start against the Thunder on Friday.

Impact With Cedric Coward returning from a two-game absence due to a sprained ankle, Jackson will slide to the second unit. The 21-year-old forward has logged 21 or more minutes in four of his last five outings off the bench, during which he has averaged 8.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 steals in 20.6 minutes per tilt.

Cedric Coward - Cleared to play vs. OKC Coward (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Coward has been given the green light to play Friday after missing the Grizzlies' last two games due to a sprained left ankle, and his return should result in GG Jackson reverting to a bench role. Coward entered Memphis' starting lineup permanently Nov. 15 against the Cavaliers, and in his 21 outings since he has averaged 13.4 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.3 threes over 26.7 minutes per game.

Vince Williams Jr. - Cleared to play vs. Thunder Williams (knee) will play in Friday's game against the Thunder, Jonah Dylan of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Impact A left knee injury has plagued Williams, keeping him out for nine of Memphis' last 10 contests, but he's got the green light for Friday. With Ja Morant (calf) out, Williams figures to see a relatively sizable workload. Williams has averaged 6.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.5 three-pointers in 19.4 minutes per contest across his last six games (two starts).
