Memphis Grizzlies vs Detroit Pistons: preview and player stats

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.

Post (concussion) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets. Post suffered a concussion during Monday's 118-102 win over the Raptors, and now he will have to clear a series of steps before he's allowed to return to the court. Taylor Hendricks will help pick up the slack while Post is sidelined.

Saunders signed a two-way contract with the Grizzlies on Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Saunders is still on the mend from a torn right ACL that he suffered during his final year at BYU. However, he has been cleared for on-court activities and will be allowed to practice with the Grizzlies now that he's officially signed with the team.

Injury/Illness - Right Hamstring Strain (2026-11-12, DET@WAS). Prior reporting (2026-11-08): Duren (hamstring) has begun on-court activity and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports. Duren is progressing in his rehab after suffering a right hamstring strain Oct. 23, though he'll remain on the inactive list for at least the next two weeks while ramping up toward a return to game action. Paul Reed should continue to play a sizable role in Duren's stead.

Injury/Illness - Right Hip Contusion (2026-11-12, DET@WAS). Prior reporting (2026-11-09): Joe (hip) is out for Monday against the Wizards. Joe is missing a seventh consecutive contest with a bruised hip. His next chance to play comes Thursday in a road rematch with Washington.

G League - Two-Way (2026-11-12, DET@WAS).

G League - On Assignment (2026-11-12, DET@WAS).

G League - Two-Way (2026-11-12, DET@WAS). Prior reporting (2026-11-11): Onyenso agreed to a two-way contract with the Pistons on Thursday. The No. 53 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, Onyenso appears poised to see run in the G League after putting pen to paper on a two-way deal. He'll likely face an uphill battle to carve out a role in the rotation, so Detroit will presumably allow him to continue his development with Motor City.
