Remaining out Friday Rupert (two-way) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Due his status as a two-way player, Rupert has a limited number of games in which he can be active at the NBA level, so the Grizzlies will hold him out for a second straight game and for the fifth time in six games in order to preserve his eligibility moving forward. After Friday, Rupert will be eligible to play in five of the Grizzlies' remaining nine contests.

Inactive for Wednesday Rupert will be inactive for Wednesday's game versus the Spurs.

Impact Tyler Burton and DeJon Jarreau will help pick up the slack with Rupert unavailable for Wednesday's game. Since this is not an injury-related absence, Rupert should return to the active roster for Friday's game against the Rockets.

Joining starting five Rupert will start Monday's game against the Hawks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Rupert has been inactive for his team's last three matchups as Memphis aims to conserve the number of games he has left as a two-way player, but he'll be back in the fold Monday evening. He started his last appearance for the Grizzlies on March 16 against Chicago but was held to three points, four rebounds, one assist and two steals in 27 minutes.

Inactive Saturday Rupert (two-way) is inactive for Saturday's game against Charlotte.

Impact Rupert is eligible to play in six of Memphis' remaining 13 contests after Friday while signed to a two-way pact. His next chance to suit up will come Saturday in Charlotte.

MARCH 21 • ROTOWIRE

Transferred to G League The Grizzlies transferred Rupert to the G League's Memphis Hustle on Wednesday.

Impact Rupert started the parent club's last game but won't play against the Nuggets on Wednesday as the Grizzlies manage his availability. The two-way player's next opportunity to suit up for the Grizzlies will come Friday against Boston.

MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE

Return yields very little Rupert posted three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and two steals across 27 minutes during Monday's 132-107 loss to Chicago.

Impact Rupert was back in action after missing the previous game, but was unable to offer much outside of his defensive contributions. Prior to Monday, Rupert had scored double digits in three straight games, while providing serviceable rebound numbers from the guard position. It's hard to view him as a must-roster player, but he should at least be on the radar for streaming purposes when available.

MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE

Running with first unit Rupert is starting Monday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Rupert was inactive for Friday's game against the Pistons, but he'll be right back in the mix Monday, making his third start of March. He totaled 13 points, seven rebounds, two assists and one steal in 38 minutes during his last start Thursday against Dallas.

MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive Friday Rupert (two-way) won't play in Friday's game against Detroit.

Impact Rupert had appeared in nine of Memphis' 11 games since the All-Star break and averaged 11.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.6 three-pointers, 1.4 steals and 1.0 assists in 29.0 minutes, though he won't suit up Friday as the Grizzlies manage his availability. The two-way player's next chance to suit up will come Monday against Chicago, but he's eligible to suit up for just seven of the Grizzlies' remaining 16 contests after Friday.

MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Thursday Rupert will start Thursday versus Dallas.

Impact Joining Rupert in the starting lineup for Thursday's game will be Javon Small, Jaylen Wells, GG Jackson and Olivier-Maxence Prosper. In Rupert's previous start this season, he finished with five points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), five rebounds, two steals and one turnover in 32 minutes.

MARCH 12 • ROTOWIRE

Adds 20 points in loss Rupert tallied 20 points (5-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one seal and two blocks in 36 minutes during Monday's 126-115 loss to the Nets.

Impact Rupert once again shouldered a sizable workload Monday with the Grizzlies forced to contend with several key injuries. The 21-year-old led Memphis in scoring despite coming off the bench, marking his best offensive production through 55 appearances this season. Rupert also tied his season high with four made treys, which is a number he hit one other time this year Feb. 6 while playing with Portland. He could continue to see opportunities to develop until his club can shake the injury bug.

Sitting out Saturday Rupert (two-way) will be inactive for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Rupert -- who recently re-signed with the Grizzlies on a two-way contract after originally joining the team on a 10-day deal -- had appeared in each of the last six games while averaging 9.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.7 steals, 1.2 three-pointers and 1.0 assists in 27.5 minutes per game. Due to the nature of his contract, Rupert will be able to suit up in just 10 of the Grizzlies' remaining 21 games. With all of Ty Jerome (calf), Scotty Pippen (toe), Taylor Hendricks (illness) and Cedric Coward (knee) back in action for Saturday's contest after sitting out the previous game, the Grizzlies will opt to hold Rupert out in order to preserve some of his availability.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Wednesday Rupert will start Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact After signing a two-way pact with Memphis on Wednesday following the conclusion of his 10-day contract, Rupert will enter the starting lineup with the team extremely shorthanded. Over five games with Memphis, the 21-year-old has averaged 10.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.2 assists in 26.6 minutes per contest.

Back with Memphis on two-way deal Rupert agreed to a two-way contract with the Grizzlies on Wednesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact Rupert's 10-day contract with the Grizzlies expired earlier Wednesday, but Memphis wasted no time bringing the swingman back as one of its two-way players after upgrading Olivier-Maxence Prosper to a standard contract. Over his five appearances with the Grizzlies during his 10-day deal, Rupert averaged 10.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.2 assists in 26.8 minutes per game. While Rupert will likely be included in the rotation in Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, he'll be available to play in just 11 of the Grizzlies' remaining 22 contests due to the stipulations of his two-way deal.

MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to open market Rupert became a free agent Wednesday after his 10-day contract with the Grizzlies expired.

Impact After signing his 10-day deal Feb. 22, Rupert had been a regular part of the rotation for each of the Grizzlies' ensuing five games, averaging 10.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.6 steals, 1.2 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 26.6 minutes per contest. The Grizzlies could look to re-sign the third-year wing to a second 10-day deal ahead of Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, or potentially bring Rupert back on a two-way deal in order to upgrade Olivier-Maxence Prosper from his two-way pact to a standard contract.

Impact The 16 points were a season high for Rupert, who also chipped in a full stat line.

Before being let go by Portland, Rupert was averaging 2.9 points, 1.8 rebounds and 0.7 assists over 12.0 minutes per game. He gives Memphis depth in the backcourt but faces stiff competition for playing time off the bench.
