Morant has missed the Grizzlies’ last three games with a right calf contusion, and Friday’s game will be the fourth. Cam Spencer has played well this season, and he should be streamed until Morant returns and can play starters’ minutes.

This will be a third straight absence for Morant. Cam Spencer has been starting in his place, but with Vince Williams Jr. (knee) back, Spencer could return to the bench or at least lose out on some minutes.

Morant sat out Tuesday against San Antonio, but he’s got a chance to return for the second leg of Memphis’ back-to-back set. Vince Williams Jr. (knee) is also questionable, which means Cam Spencer could handle a robust role if both are sidelined.

Morant was downgraded from questionable to doubtful earlier Tuesday, so the second downgrade is unsurprising. Cam Spencer started Sunday’s loss to the Lakers but struggled. With Vince Williams Jr. (knee) available, Spencer could be headed back to the bench, but he would remain in the rotation.

Morant was listed as questionable on Monday, but his status has been downgraded, and he’s not expected to take the court against San Antonio. Williams Jr. will be back after an eight-game absence, and he should split time at PG with Cam Spencer.

Morant missed Sunday’s game against the Lakers but could return to take on San Antonio. Cam Spencer started in his stead, and while he dished out nine assists, he struggled with his shot. Spencer would likely be in for another start if Morant remains out.

Due to a right calf contusion, Morant will miss Sunday’s rematch after logging 31 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Lakers. Cam Spencer will likely move into the starting lineup to run the point, with Javon Small playing backup minutes off the bench. Spencer is worth streaming in 12-team leagues; he should already be rostered in 14-team leagues.

Morant, who played 31 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Lakers, is dealing with a right calf contusion. If he’s unable to play in Sunday’s rematch, the Grizzlies will turn to Cam Spencer to run the point. Also, two-way player Javon Small would likely be active if Morant sits.

While he didn’t offer great value as a scorer, Morant’s 11 assists were the most he’s had in a game since November 7 (13 vs. Dallas). Since returning from injury on December 26, the Grizzlies’ point guard has offered fifth-round per-game value in eight-cat formats. Morant certainly has the potential to be more productive, but many fantasy managers likely remain concerned due to the injury risk. The Grizzlies face the Lakers again on Sunday to end Week 11.

Morant took over late in this game to help force overtime by scoring 18 points in the fourth quarter. He added six more in overtime, but it wasn’t enough for Memphis to get the win. Still, this was Morant’s best game of the season as he set a new season high for scoring. Morant’s main issue has been health, but if he can remain on the floor and stay this hot, fantasy managers should get a nice stretch from him.

While the stat line did not include any rebounds, steals or blocked shots, what Morant did provide to fantasy managers was encouraging. The Grizzlies’ point guard was efficient as a scorer and playmaker, shooting 50 percent from the field and finishing with an assist-to-turnover ratio of over 2-to-1. Morant is still on a minutes restriction, and it’s unknown when that will change. However, he’s still capable of offering value despite not hitting 30 minutes.

Morant played 25 minutes in his return from an ankle injury on Friday. With efficient scoring and strong facilitating throughout, the veteran guard ended up tallying his fifth double-double of the season. Although the numbers weren’t jaw-dropping, it was good for fantasy managers to see Morant productive and on the court again in a season full of injuries. Once his minutes increase, he should see a boost in his offensive production.

Morant and Coward are back after missing time due to injury, with the former sitting out the last four. However, while they are starting, Morant and Coward are on minutes restrictions. Cam Spencer and GG Jackson will come off the bench, but rotation minutes should not be an issue for either player, especially Spencer.

Morant is back after missing Memphis’ last four games. He will be on a minutes restriction, so those who have been rostering Cam Spencer should not drop him just yet. Spencer has played well enough to merit rostering, especially with Vince Williams Jr. (knee) sidelined.

Morant has missed the Grizzlies’ last four games with a sprained left ankle. Since Vince Williams Jr. has also been out, Cam Spencer has filled in as the starting point guard. Not only is he worth rostering if Morant remains out, but Spencer is a player to hold onto in some 12-team formats regardless of what happens with the Grizzlies’ usual starter.

Cedric Coward (heel) is questionable, so Cam Spencer should be in line for big minutes. Spencer has been quite productive as of late, and he should be rostered in all 12-team leagues.

Monday’s game makes it three on the sidelines for Morant since spraining his left ankle during a December 15 win over the Clippers. With Vince Williams Jr. also out, Cam Spencer will likely move into the starting lineup. While this is a challenging matchup, Spencer is worth streaming in deep leagues.

Saturday’s game will be the second that Morant has missed since spraining his left ankle during Monday’s win over the Clippers. With Vince Williams Jr. also out, Cam Spencer should move into the starting lineup. Given how well he’s played over the last month, Spencer will be worth rostering on Saturday.

Morant did not participate in Wednesday’s pregame shootaround, so his absence is unsurprising. Vince Williams Jr. will move back into the starting lineup, and he’s worth streaming for those who can take a hit in the percentages.

Morant, who sprained his left ankle late in Monday’s win over the Clippers, was seen moving with the aid of crutches at Wednesday’s pregame shootaround. The downgrade in status suggests he won’t be available, which will move Vince Williams Jr. back into the starting lineup. While his percentages have been poor, Williams would be worth streaming, as the Grizzlies won’t have Cam Spencer (personal), either.

Memphis hasn’t ruled him out yet, but how often does a player show up on crutches to shootaround and play later that day? Vince Williams Jr. had been starting when Morant was last sidelined, and he was an elite source of assists in that role. He would be worth streaming, especially on a day with only two games played.

Morant has played in two straight games after missing time with a calf injury, but now finds himself on the injury report for Wednesday’s game against the Timberwolves. The 26-year-old point guard is questionable with a left ankle sprain. The good news is the injury isn’t expected to be a long-term issue for Morant. Cam Spencer would likely move into the starting lineup with Vince Williams seeing additional minutes off the bench if Morant is out.

Friday’s game was the first for Morant since November 15, so his playing time was restricted. However, that did not prevent the point guard from showing off his elite athleticism at various points, including an impressive chasedown block of a Keyonte George layup attempt during the first half. Morant finished with his fourth double-double of the season, which helps compensate for the low field-goal percentage. Memphis is done for Week 8 and will open Week 9 on Monday against the Clippers.

Morant is officially available after missing ten games with a strained calf. His return affects Vince Williams Jr. and Cam Spencer the most, with the former heading back to the bench. Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo did not reveal a minutes restriction when he announced that Morant was available. Still, fantasy managers should anticipate the point guard not taking on his usual workload on Friday.

Morant is on track to return from a 10-game absence, but it’s unclear if he’ll face any restrictions after such a long time on the sideline. His return should mean fewer minutes for Vince Williams Jr. and Cam Spencer, but both players should be held until Morant’s health and usage are clarified.

Morant was a full participant in Thursday’s practice and did not experience any issues. If he can play on Friday, Vince Williams Jr. would head to the bench. Morant’s return would also affect Cam Spencer, who has been more efficient than Williams recently.

Morant has missed 10 games with a calf injury after playing only six minutes on November 15th against the Cavaliers. It now seems like we have a good chance of seeing him back on the court on Friday. In his stead, Vince Williams Jr. has taken over the starting point guard role and had performed well before slowing of late. Cam Spencer has also begun to earn more minutes at Williams’ expense over the last week, but both players should see their minutes and usage take a hit when Morant returns.

Initially doubtful for Sunday’s game, Morant is officially inactive. Vince Williams Jr. will continue to replace him in the starting lineup, with Cam Spencer playing additional minutes off the bench. While Williams is a solid option for managers needing assists, his low percentages have opened the door for Spencer to emerge as a solid deep-league option.

While the doubtful tag suggests that Morant won’t play on Sunday, the upgrade is a step in the right direction. Vince Williams Jr. will continue to start as long as Ja is unavailable, with Cam Spencer picking up additional minutes off the bench.
