Grizzlies at Kings: Money on the Floor, February 4, 2026
Morant sustained a UCL sprain in his left elbow in the Jan. 21 game against the Hawks, and while he's expected to make a full recovery, he'll be re-evaluated in approximately three weeks. This means Morant won't return to action until probably after the All-Star break, impacting his potential trade value ahead of the Feb. 5 deadline. With Morant on the sidelines, the Grizzlies should turn to Cam Spencer and Vince Williams, although Ty Jerome (calf) should also see minutes at the point once he's fully healthy and ready to play.
Out
B. Clarke
Based on this timetable, a return right after the All-Star break could potentially be on the table for Clarke. The forward has appeared in just two games this season, as he was dealing with a knee issue prior to his latest calf injury.
Niang continues to recover from offseason foot surgery, which prevented him from making his season debut with Utah. The forward remains without a clear timeline for a return, so it's difficult to envision how Niang's presence might affect the Memphis rotation until he finally takes the floor in 2025-26.
Hendricks was dealt from the Jazz to the Grizzlies on Tuesday, so he won't join his new team in time to suit up for Wednesday's game. However, there's a reasonable chance that he'll be ready for his team debut Friday in Portland.
After Edey initially sustained the injury Dec. 11, the Grizzlies relayed that the second-year center would be shut down for at least four weeks before being re-evaluated. Despite having spent the past month rehabbing the injury, Edey seemingly hasn't taken any major steps forward in his recovery and will now need another six weeks to let his ankle heal up. As a result of this latest update, Edey appears unlikely to be ready to return to game action until at least early March, making it tough to justify rostering him in most redraft formats. With Brandon Clarke (calf) also facing a long-term absence, Jock Landale should continue to hold down the fort as the Grizzlies' starting center.
Clayton was involved in the trade that sent Jaren Jackson to the Jazz on Tuesday, and the former will have to wait to make his Grizzlies debut. Clayton's next opportunity to suit up for Memphis will come Friday against the Trail Blazers. The rookie first-rounder averaged 6.8 points, 3.2 assists and 2.0 rebounds across 18.0 minutes per game in 45 regular-season appearances with Utah. He could be in line for an increased workload in Memphis, especially if the club ends up trading Ja Morant (elbow).
Pippen has yet to make his 2025-26 regular-season debut while recovering from left big toe surgery that he underwent in October. The good news for the fourth-year pro was that he was initially listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game, rather than being outright ruled out, indicating that he is getting closer to a return. Pippen's next chance to play is Friday against the Trail Blazers.
Anderson was traded by the Jazz on Tuesday to the Grizzlies for a return that centered around Jaren Jackson. Anderson spent four years of his NBA career in Memphis, and assuming he isn't shipped again ahead of Thursday's deadline, his next chance to play for the Grizzlies would be Friday against the Trail Blazers.
