Memphis Grizzlies vs. Dallas Mavericks - News - December 01, 2023 | FOX Sports

Jaylen Nowell - Enters starting lineup Nowell will move into the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Suns, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

Impact Derrick Rose (ankle) is sitting out Saturday, but the Grizzlies will roll with Nowell instead of Jacob Gilyard. However, it's more likely that Desmond Bane handles most of the playmaking for the Grizzlies. Nowell made a strong impression on Friday versus the Mavericks, scoring 19 points with four rebounds, one assist, one steal and two three-pointers.

Josh Green - Ruled out Saturday Green (elbow) will not play in Saturday's game versus the Thunder, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Impact Green likely picked up the injury during Friday's game against the Grizzlies, but he should be considered day-to-day considering since he was carrying a questionable tag before this update. Derrick Jones could see a healthy workload Saturday with the Mavericks very shorthanded.

Tim Hardaway Jr. - Will not play Saturday Hardaway (back) will not play in Saturday's game versus the Thunder, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Impact The Mavericks are going to be quite thin on the second leg of this back-to-back set, as Hardaway will join Kyrie Irving (foot), Josh Green (elbow), Dante Exum (personal) and Maxi Kleber (toe) on the sidelines. We could potentially see a good amount of Jaden Hardy on Saturday after he impressed in 21 minutes versus the Grizzlies on Friday.

Kyrie Irving - Ruled out to face OKC Irving (foot) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Thunder, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Impact Irving has been ruled out due to right foot soreness, and Dallas will be considerably depleted in the backcourt for this game since Tim Hardaway (back) and Dante Exum (personal) are also out. This means Jaden Hardy and Seth Curry could be in line to see extended minutes in the backcourt.

Ziaire Williams - Will not play Williams (illness) will not play in Saturday's game against the Suns, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

Impact Williams was previously carrying a doubtful tag, so it's not a surprise to see this update. The Grizzlies are very thin these days, so they'll likely use a committee approach to soak up the available minutes. John Konchar, David Roddy and Santi Aldama are some of the candidates to see increased minutes.

Derrick Rose - Ruled out Saturday Rose (ankle) will not play in Saturday's game against the Suns, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

Impact Saturday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and Rose played 20 minutes Friday versus the Mavericks. With Rose getting the night off, Jacob Gilyard will likely replace him in the first unit.
