GAME LOG
Walter Clayton Jr. - Scores seven off bench Clayton finished with seven points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists and one rebound in 13 minutes during Monday's 132-123 preseason win over the Hawks.
Impact Clayton entered behind several of Memphis' other guards and committed two turnovers during his limited run. The second-year guard is battling for a roster spot and will need a strong preseason to separate himself in a crowded Memphis backcourt.

Jahmai Mashack - Sees limited run Mashack recorded two points (1-1 FG), one rebound and one assist in eight minutes during Monday's 132-123 preseason win over Atlanta.
Impact Mashack didn't enter until later in the contest and saw significantly fewer minutes than Memphis' primary backcourt options. The second-year guard faces an uphill battle for consistent playing time in a crowded rotation.
OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
Javon Small - Dishes four assists Small finished with eight points (2-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four assists and one rebound in 13 minutes during Monday's 132-123 preseason win over the Hawks.
Impact Small struggled with his shot but was one of five Memphis players to record at least four assists. The second-year guard is competing for minutes in a deep backcourt and will likely need to make the most of his preseason opportunities to secure a consistent role.
OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
GG Jackson - Notches 14 points in preseason Jackson recorded 14 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 16 minutes during Monday's 132-123 preseason win over Atlanta.
Impact Jackson provided instant offense and didn't commit a turnover during his limited action. He's not considered a favorite for a starting spot, but performances like Monday's could help him earn minutes in a crowded wing and forward rotation.
OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
Taylor Hendricks - Active defensively Hendricks produced seven points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three steals and one block in 19 minutes during Monday's 132-123 preseason win over the Hawks.
Impact Hendricks made an impact defensively despite coming off the bench, though he also committed five fouls. He's competing for minutes in a crowded Memphis frontcourt and should continue receiving opportunities throughout the preseason.
OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
Cam Spencer - Sees 14 minutes in win Spencer finished with eight points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 14 minutes during Monday's 132-123 preseason win over Atlanta.
Impact Spencer came off the bench and shared the floor with Scotty Pippen for a portion of the contest, continuing an experiment Memphis utilized during training camp. Spencer is among several players competing for starting and rotation opportunities and offers valuable shooting after hitting 44.8 percent of his threes during the 2025-26 regular season.
OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
Scotty Pippen Jr. - Productive off bench Pippen recorded 10 points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists and one steal in 16 minutes during Monday's 132-123 preseason win over the Hawks.
Impact Pippen came off the bench behind Ty Jerome, who started at point guard, but played well alongside Cam Spencer in the second unit. Pippen is considered Jerome's primary competition for the starting point guard job and should remain firmly in the rotation even if he begins the season as a reserve.
OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
Jerami Grant - Scores 10 off bench Grant finished with 10 points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 14 minutes during Monday's 132-123 preseason win over Atlanta.
Impact Grant came off the bench behind Jaylen Wells but was efficient during his limited run. The two appear to be the primary candidates for Memphis' starting small forward job, though Grant should have a significant role regardless of whether he starts.

Ty Jerome - Dishes out five assists Jerome registered 12 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five assists and one block across 15 minutes in Monday's 132-123 preseason win over the Hawks.
Impact Jerome started at point guard and did a good job running Memphis' offense, leading the team with five assists while reaching double figures on only eight shots. He committed three turnovers but otherwise made good use of his limited playing time before sitting out the second half. Jerome should have an opportunity to handle significant playmaking responsibilities in Memphis' backcourt, and it wouldn't be surprising if he's the Grizzlies' starting point guard once the 2026-27 regular season begins.
OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
Jaylen Wells - Drains four threes Monday Wells supplied 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt) and one steal across 17 minutes in Monday's 132-123 preseason win over the Hawks.
Impact All 12 of Wells' points came from beyond the arc, as he connected on four of six attempts from deep during his abbreviated outing. He didn't record a rebound or assist, but his perimeter shooting allowed him to make a significant offensive impact before his night ended. Wells started all 69 of his regular-season appearances in the 2025-26 campaign, and he'll look to maintain a prominent role on a Memphis roster featuring increased competition for minutes on the wing.

Cedric Coward - Stuffs stat sheet in preseason victory Coward recorded nine points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 18 minutes in Monday's 132-123 preseason win over the Hawks.
Impact Coward drew the start and contributed across the board despite attempting only six shots. The wing's four assists were particularly encouraging, and he ranked tied for second among Memphis players in both rebounds and assists. Coward has generated plenty of fantasy interest heading into the campaign, and his ability to contribute without requiring significant offensive volume gives him multiple avenues toward fantasy relevance. He's in the mix to open the 2026-27 regular season in a starting role, and a solid showing in preseason will boost his case to crack the first unit.

Cameron Boozer - Scores 11 points with four assists Boozer tallied 11 points (5-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals over 18 minutes in Monday's 132-123 preseason win over the Hawks.
Impact Boozer had his minutes monitored in Memphis' first exhibition game, but he led his team in shot attempts and did a nice job playmaking out of the post. Boozer will be a fixture in Memphis' offense and should give AJ Dybantsa and Darryn Peterson some serious competition for the Rookie of the Year award.
OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
Micah Peavy - Doesn't play Monday Peavy (ankle) did not see the floor in Monday's 132-123 preseason win over the Hawks.
Impact Peavy turned his ankle in late September and is still on the mend. The severity of the injury is unclear, though his next chance to suit up in the preseason will come Wednesday against Orlando.
OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
Karim Lopez - Makes preseason debut Lopez (hamstring) tallied two points (1-2 FG), one rebound, two steals and one block in eight minutes during Monday's 132-123 preseason win over Atlanta.
Impact Lopez has managed to recover from a hamstring injury that plagued him during Summer League and came off the bench in the Grizzlies' preseason opener. The 19-year-old rookie is looking to carve out a role in the rotation in the frontcourt and will battle throughout the preseason with the likes of GG Jackson, Jaylen Wells and Cam Spencer for playing time.
OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
Isaiah Stewart - Exits preseason win early Stewart exited Monday's 132-123 preseason win over the Hawks in the first quarter and did not return due to a left ankle injury, finishing with one rebound in two minutes.
Impact Stewart landed on an opposing player's foot and took a hard fall before limping back to the locker room. He was eventually deemed doubtful to return and never checked back in. The big man's next opportunity to play in the preseason will come Wednesday versus Orlando.

Isaiah Stewart - Doubtful to return Monday Stewart is doubtful to return to Monday's preseason game against the Hawks due to a left ankle injury.
Impact Stewart landed on an opposing player's foot in the opening quarter and limped to the locker room. If he doesn't return, he'll finish with a rebound across two minutes of action.

Isaiah Stewart - Exits to locker room Monday Stewart (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the first quarter of Monday's preseason game against the Hawks, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Impact Stewart appeared to come down on an opposing player's foot and took a hard fall before limping to the locker room. If he's unable to check back in, Olivier-Maxence Prosper and Taylor Hendricks could see increased playing time the rest of the way.
