INJURIES

Unlikely to play Friday Tillman (knee) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Warriors.
Impact Tillman was a late scratch for Thursday's matchup due to his knee injury, and he'll likely remain sidelined for the second half of the back-to-back set. If he remains out, Santi Aldama and Jaren Jackson are candidates to see increased run.
FEBRUARY 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Not expected to play Tillman is doubtful to play in Thursday's game against the Cavaliers.
Impact This injury was reported a few minutes after tipoff. Santi Aldama started in the frontcourt next to Jaren Jackson and is likely going to see a hefty workload Thursday evening.
FEBRUARY 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Back to bench Thursday Xavier Tillman has been relegated back to the bench for Thursday's game against Cleveland.
Impact Tillman has been replaced by Vince Williams, who missed Monday's game against the Kings due to a knee injury. He will likely return to his role as the big man among the second unit, backing up Jaren Jackson.
FEBRUARY 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Serviceable performance in start Tillman contributed 10 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and three steals across 37 minutes during Monday's 103-94 loss to Sacramento.
Impact Tillman moved back into the starting lineup, turning in his best performance in almost two weeks. Since returning from a one-game absence, Tillman had been coming off the bench. A plethora of injuries allowed him to up his playing time, eclipsing 30 minutes. While there is no certainly regarding his role, Tillman is worth grabbing, just in case he can stick in a larger role, at least for the foreseeable future.
JANUARY 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Enters starting five Tillman is starting Monday's game against the Kings.
Impact Tillman will draw his first start since Jan. 18 due to the absence of multiple key rotation players, including Vince Williams (knee), Luke Kennard (knee), John Konchar (ankle) and Marcus Smart (finger). Tillman gets the nod at center, while Jaren Jackson bumps over to power forward and Santi Aldama starts at small forward.
JANUARY 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Passive performance in win Tillman finished Friday's 107-106 win over the Magic with five points (2-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 13 minutes.
Impact Tillman continues to play limited minutes off the bench, ending with just five points in 13 minutes. Since returning from injury, Tillman has been unable to find any rhythm on the offensive end. His defensive production is offering a small amount of upside, albeit in slightly deeper formats.
JANUARY 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Active but not starting Monday Tillman will come off the bench for Monday's game against the Raptors.
Impact Tillman will come off the bench behind Jaren Jackson and Santi Aldama as the Grizzlies' starting frontcourt. Monday will mark his first game off the bench since Jan. 9 and just his second since Dec. 31.
JANUARY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Good to go Monday Tillman (knee) is cleared for Monday's game against Toronto.
Impact Tillman returns from a one-game absence due knee soreness. The 25-year-old will likely slot back in as Memphis' starting center alongside Jaren Jackson in the frontcourt, resulting in dips in roles for Santi Aldama, David Roddy and GG Jackson.
JANUARY 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Listed as questionable Tillman (knee) is questionable for Monday's matchup against the Raptors.
Impact Tillman joined Memphis' long injury report Saturday and was sidelined for a loss to the Bulls, but he'll have a chance to return Monday. He has started four straight appearances and is averaging 11.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.6 blocks in 32.2 minutes over his last five games.
JANUARY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Will not suit up Tillman (knee) will not play in Saturday's game against the Bulls.
Impact This is a tough blow for a Memphis team that has already been devastated by injuries. With Tillman sidelined, the Grizzlies could turn to guys like Santi Aldama and David Roddy to soak up some frontcourt minutes. Tillman's next chance to play will be Monday against Toronto.
JANUARY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Late addition to injury report Tillman is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Bulls due to left knee soreness.
Impact Tillman's late addition to the injury report is a bad sign for his availability Saturday. If Tillman is ruled out, Santi Aldama will likely receive increased playing time.
JANUARY 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Impresses defensively Saturday Tillman racked up 12 points (6-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists, one block and six steals in 36 minutes during Saturday's 106-94 loss to New York.
Impact Tillman made his presence felt on both ends of the court Saturday despite the loss, as he started for the third time over Memphis' last four games, but there's no question the most impressive aspect of his stat line was the six steals, a season-high mark for him and the seventh time he registers two or more steals in a game. Tillman could move back to the bench once the Grizzlies return to full strength, and if that's the case, then his fantasy upside will be minimal outside of very deep formats.
JANUARY 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Scores season-best 20 points Tillman accumulated 20 points (8-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-7 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 31 minutes during Friday's 128-119 loss to the Clippers.
Impact Tillman found himself in the starting lineup alongside Jaren Jackson to form a big frontcourt, but he wasn't able to do much to stop the Clippers. Tillman left his mark on offense, however, and his 20 points were a season-high mark by a wide margin. This was the sixth time he scored in double digits this season, and three of those outings have come when he's deployed as a starter.
JANUARY 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Starting against Clippers Tillman will start against the Clippers on Friday.
Impact Jaren Jackson (knee) is back from a one-game absence, and Tillman will start alongside him in the frontcourt. The Grizzlies waived Bismack Biyombo to sign Vince Williams to a standard contract, so Tillman could see more consistent workloads going forward if he plays well.
JANUARY 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Double-doubles Tuesday Tillman notched 14 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 120-103 victory over Dallas.
Impact Tillman was impressive off the bench and delivered arguably his best outing of the season Tuesday, notching his second double-double of the season and just his fifth outing with more than 10 points. The lack of players available in the frontcourt should translate in more minutes for Tillman going forward, but his upside will remain limited as long as he continues to play off the bench.

Plays three minutes in win Tillman supplied zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and three rebounds in three minutes during Sunday's 121-115 win over the Suns.
Impact Tillman wasn't announced as a starter for Sunday's matchup but wound up joining the starting unit while Bismack Biyombo came off the bench. Tillman saw minimal playing time despite the surprise start, and he's now played under 10 minutes in three of his last five appearances. During that time, he's averaged just 1.4 points and 3.0 rebounds in 9.2 minutes per game.
JANUARY 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Back to bench Tillman will move to the bench for Friday's game against the Lakers.
Impact Tillman replaced Bismack Biyombo on Wednesday versus Toronto, but he didn't make the most of his opportunity. In 23 minutes, Tillman was held to four points, five rebounds and two assists.
JANUARY 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Lands starting nod Tillman will start Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
Impact Tillman will make his seventh start of the campaign -- but just his second since Nov. 2 -- in place of Bismack Biyombo. In his six starts, Tillman averaged 7.7 points and 7.3 rebounds over 26.5 minutes.
JANUARY 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Blocks five shots in victory Tillman ended Tuesday's 116-115 overtime win over New Orleans with two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), eight rebounds, five blocks and one steal across 28 minutes.
Impact Tillman racked up a season-high five blocks in the victory, a surprising number for sure. Before Tuesday, Tillman had blocked a combined 13 shots across the first two months of the season. Taking this into account, managers should not be expecting this sort of defensive performance again any time soon. The Grizzlies are likely to be fluent with their center rotation, meaning Tillman is not someone who needs to be rostered outside of deeper formats.
DECEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Returns to bench Tillman isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Pelicans, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Impact Tillman will be replaced by Bismack Biyombo in the starting lineup Tuesday. Tillman is averaging 5.9 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.3 steals in 15.9 minutes across his previous seven appearances coming off the bench this season.
DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Starting at center Tillman is starting Monday's game against Oklahoma City.
Impact Tillman will get the nod at center after it was announced that Bismack Biyombo (back) would miss Monday's contest. This marks Tillman's first start since Nov. 1, when he was held scoreless across 14 minutes against the Jazz.
DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Delivers defensively in return Tillman (knee) scored four points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and added two rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks across 22 minutes in Friday's 108-94 win over Dallas.
Impact Tillman made his return to action after sitting out the Grizzlies' previous six games while recovering from a left knee injury. Though his season-long shooting struggles continued -- he's now converting at just a 41.4 percent clip from the field through eight appearances -- Tillman was able to offset the poor offensive output by shining on the defensive end. Bismack Biyombo remains the Grizzlies' starting center for now, but Tillman could eventually overtake him for the top spot on the depth chart once the knee injury is further in the rear-view mirror.
DECEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Set to play Friday Tillman (knee) is available for Friday's game versus the Mavericks.
Impact Tillman has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday after missing the previous six games with a left knee injury. Tillman is averaging 9.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.6 steals in 25.9 minutes across his first seven appearances this season.
DECEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable for Friday Tillman (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks.
Impact Tillman has missed six straight games due to a left knee injury but has a chance to suit up Friday. Even if the Michigan State product is cleared, he'll presumably handle a reserve role behind Bismack Biyombo, who's drawn 11 straight starts in the Grizzlies' depleted frontcourt.
