Memphis Grizzlies — Portland Trail Blazers: анонс і статистика гравців (8 лют. 2027 р.)

Head coach Micah Nori said Morant met with a doctor in Los Angeles, who gave him a positive outlook on his recovery from the hamstring injury. While Nori declined to update Morant's timetable, he added Morant "may not be out for as long as we thought," Trail Blazers Insider Sean Highkin reports. Morant was initially given a four-week timetable after he suffered a Grade 2 left hamstring strain on Oct. 30. It sounds like he's making solid progress, though it would be surprising to see him beat that timetable given the tricky nature of hamstring injuries. Scoot Henderson will continue to start in his absence and there will be more minutes available for Jrue Holiday.

Sharpe suffered a torn meniscus in his knee and is expected to miss six months, per Shams Charania of ESPN. It's a tough blow to the Trail Blazers' depth on the wing ahead of training camp. Sharpe, who is now likely to be sidelined until after the All-Star break, had been ticketed for a reserve role behind Toumani Camara following an injury-plagued 2025-26 campaign, which saw average a career-high 20.8 points, 1.4 steals and 2.1 three-pointers per game over 50 regular-season appearances. The door is now open for Vit Krejci and Jeremy Sochan to compete for bench minutes during camp.

Krejci underwent surgery on his fractured left ankle Wednesday and will be re-evaluated in eight weeks, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports. Krejci suffered the ankle injury in last Wednesday's win over the Suns and is set to miss an extended period after undergoing surgery. With the 26-year-old and Ja Morant (hamstring) both on the shelf, Jrue Holiday and Sidy Cissoko should continue seeing increased minutes.

Youngblood (foot) is out for Friday's game against Sacramento. Youngblood is in line for a second straight absence due to a bone bruise in his right foot. His next opportunity to run the floor will arrive Monday in Minnesota.

Jerome (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nets. Jerome is dealing with right hip soreness and will miss his second game of the season. With the veteran guard joining Scotty Pippen (back) on the inactive list, Cam Spencer figures to see an expanded role. Jerome's next opportunity to play will come Monday at Washington.

Edey (ankle) is listed as out for Saturday's game against the Nets. It will be a second consecutive absence for Edey. His next opportunity to get back on the floor will come Monday in Washington. In the meantime, Isaiah Stewart is in line to remain in the starting lineup.

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.

Grant (head) is out for Saturday's game against the Nets. Grant will miss the second leg of Memphis' back-to-back set due to a head injury. His absence should open up more opportunities for GG Jackson, Taylor Hendricks and Olivier-Maxence Prosper.

According to Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo, Jackson suffered a "relatively serious" foot injury in Saturday's 129-110 win over Brooklyn, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports. Jackson logged only three minutes versus the Nets before exiting the contest and eventually being ruled out. While "the team will continue to evaluate" his status, it doesn't sound like he will be on the floor Monday in Washington. The 21-year-old has appeared in 12 regular-season games during the 2026-27 campaign, averaging 6.7 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 15.0 minutes per outing. Assuming Jackson misses time, Olivier-Maxence Prosper and Taylor Hendricks could see more minutes.

Post (concussion) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nets. Saturday will mark Post's third straight missed game as he remains in the league's concussion protocol. His next chance to play will come Monday at Washington.

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.
