Yuta Watanabe News
Memphis Grizzlies forward Yuta Watanabe (personal) will remain out of the lineup on Saturday against Orlando. He's been absent for personal reasons for quite a while and will miss a 14th consecutive game. Watanabe's absence hasn't had a big impact on Memphis, as the Japanese forward has averaged fewer than 14 minutes per game in 2023-24. His next chance to return comes on Monday in a matchup against the Pistons.
Memphis Grizzlies forward Yuta Watanabe (wrist) will remain out on Friday versus Atlanta, missing a fourth consecutive game. He continues to nurse a sprained right wrist. Wataname's absence has opened up extra minutes for Jake LaRavia and Lamar Stevens off the bench. The former has had a couple of outstanding games lately and will carry quite a bit of momentum into Friday's encounter with one of the league's worst defenses. Steven's numbers have stayed average, but he could get a lift on Friday with the absence of GG Jackson II (knee), who's listed as questionable for the game.
Memphis Grizzlies forward Yuta Watanabe (wrist) has been ruled out for Monday's clash with Brooklyn. The 29-year-old won't be able to have a reunion with his former team due to a right wrist sprain. After starting the campaign in Phoenix, Watanabe landed with his original team, the Grizzlies, last month. He's played a slightly larger role in Memphis, but hasn't done anything to garner the attention of fantasy managers. In 16.4 minutes across five games, Watanabe has recorded 2.6 points and 1.8 rebounds. With him out of the lineup, Lamar Stevens and Matt Hurt will likely be the main beneficiaries, and the two should also profit from Jaren Jackson Jr.'s (quadriceps) absence.
Phoenix Suns forward Yuta Watanabe (quadriceps) will miss another game on Tuesday against Portland. He was unavailable for Sunday's clash with Utah due to a left quadriceps contusion, and the ailment is still bothering him. Before getting hurt, Watanabe had been ever-present for the Suns this season, averaging 18.6 minutes off the bench. He's put up 5.3 points and 2.7 rebounds. Keita Bates-Diop can pick up extra work with Watanabe missing, while Nassir Little also saw a boost in playing time on Sunday. There could be plenty of garbage time available for the Suns bench on Tuesday, as the home team is seen as a 13-point favorite for the contest.
