Rayan Rupert News, Rumors, Updates - Memphis Grizzlies

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.

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.

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. With Ja Morant (elbow) out indefinitely, Rupert is slowly becoming a player for deep-league fantasy managers to consider. Over his past four contests, Rupert has averaged 9.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.3 assists in 27.2 minutes per game.

Gets opportunity with Memphis The Grizzlies signed Rupert to a 10-day contract Sunday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Rupert was waived by the Trail Blazers on Friday, but the 2023 second-rounder will get another chance with the Grizzlies for at least the next 10 days. 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.

Records five steals in loss Rupert amassed 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and five steals over 19 minutes during Tuesday's 115-111 loss to the Wizards.

Impact Rupert recorded a career-high five steals in the loss. This performance certainly has the look an outlier, so fantasy managers probably shouldn't chase this line -- he's been limited to minutes in the teens for five straight games.

Impact The 21-year-old Frenchman is a key development player for the Trail Blazers, and he's been a fixture on the bench for most of the season despite short stints in the G League. His 13 -point showing marked his second-best showing of the season and his third consecutive double-digit finish. Although his performances have been encouraging, his usefulness may be coming to an end with Jrue Holiday close to 100 percent.

Scores in double digits Rupert recorded 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt), five rebounds and one steal in 16 minutes during Sunday's 122-95 loss to Oklahoma City.

Impact The Trail Blazers struggled on offense throughout the game, but Rupert had a solid performance after scoring in double digits for the first time this season. He enjoyed an uptick in minutes due to the blowout nature of this game, but fantasy managers need to be cautious with what he might bring to the table. He's buried on the depth chart and at the end of the bench, so he's not expected to play regularly going forward. After all, this was his first outing of the season in which he played 10 or more minutes.

The guard appeared in 52 regular-season games for the Trail Blazers during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 3.0 points and 1.3 rebounds on 40.8 percent shooting in 8.8 minutes per game. His best performance came in the season finale against the Lakers on April 13, when he recorded a double-double.
