Taylor Hendricks News, Rumors, Updates - Memphis Grizzlies

Won't play Sunday Hendricks (thumb) will not play Sunday against the Rockets.

Impact The thumb injury will end Hendricks' season, as Sunday marks the final game of 2025-26 for the Grizzlies. The third-year forward was dealt to the Grizzlies from the Jazz mid-season. In his 26 appearances with Memphis, he averaged 10.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.4 steals, 1.2 assists and 0.8 blocks in 24.1 minutes.

Won't play Friday Hendricks (thumb) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Hendricks will be held out of Memphis' penultimate regular-season game due to a right thumb sprain, and his next opportunity to suit up will come Sunday in Houston. With Olivier-Maxence Prosper (ankle) doubtful, Taj Gibson, Toby Okani and Dariq Whitehead are candidates for increased run in the injury-plagued Memphis frontcourt.

Scores 16 in efficient outing Hendricks ended with 16 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 136-119 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Even though Hendricks has missed three of the Grizzlies' last nine games due to minor injuries, he's been starting regularly when available, and he could be a decent option to stream if you need frontcourt depth late in the season. He's averaging 8.0 points and 5.0 rebounds on 22.7 miuntes per game in those six outings, however, so his fantasy upside is still limited despite his starting role.

Starting vs. Denver Hendricks will start Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact With Olivier-Maxence Prosper (ankle) unavailable, Hendricks will join the first unit in his return from a one-game absence due to a right thumb sprain. Over 10 starts since the All-Star break, the 22-year-old forward has averaged 7.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 24.7 minutes per tilt.

Impact Hendricks sat out Monday's loss to the Cavaliers -- the second leg of a back-to-back -- due to a right thumb sprain. However, he's set to return to action Wednesday and should play a sizable role with Olivier-Maxence Prosper (ankle) doubtful and GG Jackson (knee) out.

Ruled out Monday Hendricks (thumb) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Hendricks will miss the second leg of this back-to-back set due to a right thumb sprain. His next opportunity to play will come Wednesday against the Nuggets. Olivier-Maxence Prosper, Toby Okani and Rayan Rupert are candidates for increased playing time in Hendricks' stead.

APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Monday Hendricks (thumb) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact A right thumb sprain is likely to prevent Hendricks from playing Monday. Dariq Whitehead and Toby Okani should soak up more playing time in the frontcourt versus Cleveland.

Starting Friday Hendricks will start Friday versus the Raptors.

Impact Olivier-Maxence Prosper (back) is out, so Hendricks will get the start, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Javon Small, Cedric Coward, Rayan Rupert and GG Jackson. As a starter this season, Hendricks has averaged 5.9 points and 4.9 rebounds per game.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go for Friday Hendricks (finger) is off the injury report for Friday's game against Toronto.

Doubtful versus Knicks Hendricks (finger) is listed as doubtful ahead of Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Hendricks started in Monday's 131-105 loss to Phoenix. However, he likely won't suit up for Wednesday's meeting with the visiting Knicks. With Ty Jerome (ankle) out, Cam Spencer, Javon Small and Walter Clayton could find themselves absorbing the bulk of the minutes in the backcourt.

Drawing start Monday Hendricks is starting Monday's game against the Suns.

Impact Hendricks took a seat for Saturday's game against the Bulls due to a thumb injury, but he's been cleared to return and will run with the first unit. He's been ineffective as a scorer in his previous two starts, totaling seven points on 3-for-18 from the field over this brief stretch.

MARCH 30 • ROTOWIRE

Not listed on injury report Hendricks (thumb) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's meeting with the Suns.

Impact Hendricks skipped Saturday's win over the Bulls, with that one being the second game in a back-to-back set, but he'll be back in action Monday evening. As a member of the Grizzlies, Hendricks has recorded averages of 10.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.5 triples, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks per contest.

No-go Saturday Hendricks (thumb) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Hendricks will take a seat for Saturday's contest. His absence should mean more opportunities for Rayan Ruper and Tyler Burton off the bench, while Olivier Maxence-Prosper and GG Jackson handle the brunt of the minutes at the power forward and center positions

MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE

Tabbed questionable Saturday Hendricks is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Bulls due to right thumb soreness.

Impact Hendricks is at risk of missing Saturday's closing end of a back-to-back, as the 22-year-old forward played 30 minutes Friday night. If Hendricks doesn't suit up, Rayan Rupert and Tyler Burton would be in line for more minutes.

MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Wednesday Hendricks is in the Grizzlies' starting lineup against the Spurs on Wednesday.

Impact Hendricks has come off the bench in each of the Grizzlies' last two games, but he will start Wednesday alongside Javon Small, Cedric Coward, GG Jackson and Olivier-Maxence Prosper. Hendricks made his last start against the Celtics this past Friday, when he played 29 minutes and finished with 12 points, five rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks in a 117-112 loss.

MARCH 25 • ROTOWIRE

Productive off bench Saturday Hendricks amassed 14 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 25 minutes during Saturday's 124-101 loss to Charlotte.

Impact Hendricks moved back to the bench with the return of GG Jackson (knee) to the first unit, but he still found a way to be productive on both ends of the court. Hendricks has scored in double digits in five of his last six games regardless of his role, so he's a player worth keeping close tabs on most formats. If available in your league, he could be a decent addition from the waiver wire.

MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoins reserves Hendricks isn't part of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Hendricks drew a start last time out for the shorthanded Grizzlies, but he'll move back to a reserve role with GG Jackson back in action. In his last six games, Hendricks is averaging 12.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.2 steals and 1.7 blocks across 25.5 minutes.

MARCH 21 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Friday Hendricks will start Friday versus the Celtics.

Impact GG Jackson (knee) and Taj Gibson (foot) are out, so Hendricks should see heavy minutes against the Celtics. Javon Small, Ty Jerome, Jaylen Wells and Olivier-Maxence Prosper will round out the first unit for Friday's game.
