Estadísticas de jugadores y previa: Memphis Grizzlies contra Toronto Raptors (23 dic 2026)

Head coach Darko Rajakovic said Wednesday that Leonard (knee) is doing individual on-court work and is progressing well, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports. The Raptors are expected to provide another update on Leonard's status in about one week, though it's encouraging to see how he's progressed thus far. Collin Murray-Boyles and Ja'Kobe Walter are candidates for increased playing time for as long as Leonard is sidelined.

Barnes (groin) is out for Thursday's game against Philadelphia. The star forward is missing a fourth straight game with a groin strain. Ja'Kobe Walter should continue to take on additional playmaking responsibilites in Barnes' stead, while Collin Murray-Boyles should keep starting at power forward.

Jackson-Davis is out for Thursday's game against the 76ers due to an illness. Jackson-Davis is missing both ends of Toronto's back-to-back set with the ailment. Jamison Battle should handle a larger role in the frontcourt Thursday.

Bittle (foot) is listed as out for Monday's game against Memphis. Bittle has been battling a foot injury for a couple of months. It's unknown when the rookie will be cleared to suit up for the Raptors, so he should be considered week-to-week for now.

Injury/Illness - Left Ankle Injury Management (2026-11-13, MEM@NOP). Prior reporting (2026-11-12): Edey won't play in Friday's game against the Pelicans due to left ankle injury management. Edey will get the night off after appearing in eight straight games for the Grizzlies. Isaiah Stewart and Taylor Hendricks are next in line for minutes at center considering both Edey and Quinten Post (concussion) are listed out for Friday.

Prior reporting (2026-11-10): Pippen (back) remains out for Wednesday's game against Denver, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports. With Pippen set to miss another game, Memphis will continue to operate without one of its backcourt reserves. He has now been sidelined for six straight contests due to the back issue and can be considered week-to-week until Memphis offers an update on his recovery. Cam Spencer remains worth streaming in most fantasy leagues.

Injury/Illness - Concussion Protocol (2026-11-13, MEM@NOP). Prior reporting (2026-11-12): Post (concussion) has been ruled out for Friday's game against New Orleans. Post will miss a second straight game while in the league's concussion protocol, and his next opportunity to play will come Saturday against Brooklyn. With Zach Edey (left ankle injury management) sitting out the front end of this back-to-back set, Isaiah Stewart will likely get the starting nod, while Taylor Hendricks figures to see increased burn off the bench.
