Marcus Smart

Memphis is missing a few players including Smart and John Knochar. The Grizzlies bench is deep, though, with minutes opening up for Luke Kennard and Jake LaRavia. Kennard can help with 3-point field goals and LaRavia will provide some blocks and steals.

Marcus Smart and Konchar are both out with an illness. Memphis has a deep bench, though. Luke Kennard, a 3-point specialist, and Jake LaRavia, a defensive specialist, should see increased minutes Wednesday.

Spencer is healthy enough to be available to make his NBA debut on Wednesday, and it may happen due to Memphis' backcourt injuries. Ja Morant, Marcus Smart, Vince Williams Jr., and John Konchar are all out due to injury. There's no need to consider rostering Spencer, a second-round pick out of UConn.

Smart (illness) won't play in Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Memphis' burgeoning injury report opens up minutes for Luke Kennard and Jake LaRavia. Kennard is useful as a three-point streamer, and LaRavia (1.4 steals, 1.8 blocks over his last five games) can be deployed as a defensive specialist.
