Memphis Grizzlies forward Vince Williams Jr. (ankle) has only managed to play in three games this season as the injuries continue to pile up on him. Williams suffered a Grade 3 right ankle sprain during Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. As a result, Williams will be shut down for four weeks and will be re-evaluated after that. The Grizzlies are likely going to use a committee approach to fill the void left by Williams. Jake LaRavia, John Konchar, and Luke Kennard should all see increased roles going forward. Out of the trio, LaRavia is the best fantasy option out of the bunch. He's worth a look as a streaming option with the Grizzlies shorthanded right now.
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (ankle) won't play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. Williams sprained his right ankle during Tuesday's contest with the Denver Nuggets and could not return. Marcus Smart (illness) and John Konchar (illness) could also be out, as they are listed as doubtful. Jake LaRavia and Luke Kennard will see more minutes than usual if Smart and Konchar cannot suit up.
Vince Williams Jr. "A Couple Of Weeks Away" From Playing
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (shin) has been ruled out for the start of the season. According to Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins, Williams Jr. is "a couple of weeks away" from being ready to play. The 24-year-old is recovering from a shin stress reaction. Once he's healthy again, Williams Jr. will be leading the second unit. He did most of his damage as a starter last year, so Williams Jr.'s fantasy stock will be lower in 2024-25 unless Memphis starts losing its key guys to injuries again. Jake LaRavia and John Konchar should handle Williams Jr.'s minutes until he's ready to return. Neither player is a good fantasy option.
Vince Williams Jr. Remains Sidelined For Sunday Versus Denver
Memphis Grizzlies guard Vince Williams Jr. (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale with the Nuggets. Williams Jr. will miss his 17th consecutive game with tendonitis in his left patellar tendon. Scotty Pippen Jr. and Jordan Goodwin could be solid DFS options and will see many extra minutes with most of the Grizzlies roster sitting out Sunday.
Memphis Grizzlies guard Vince Williams Jr. (knee) has been ruled out again on Friday and will remain on the sidelines with tendonitis in his left patellar tendon. This will be his 13th consecutive game missed after becoming a surprising rotational mainstay this season. Williams is likely part of the team's future, so they're not going to risk him injuring his knee any further. In the meantime, Scotty Pippen Jr., Jordan Goodwin, and Lamar Stevens have all been solid streaming options. Each one of them can garner some DFS interest as well given the better matchup.
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) will be absent for an 11th consecutive game on Monday against the Pistons. He's continuing to nurse a left knee injury. The 23-year-old out of VCU will get his next opportunity to return on Wednesday versus Milwaukee. Memphis also won't have Desmond Bane (back) on Monday, and John Konchar (foot) will likely miss another game, meaning we should see a lot of Scotty Pippen Jr., Jordan Goodwin, GG Jackson II, and Jake LaRavia again. The young Grizzlies have played well in recent weeks, although they tend to be inconsistent.
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) will remain sidelined for a 10th consecutive game on Saturday versus Orlando. The 23-year-old is still dealing with a left knee issue and will have the next opportunity to return on Monday against Detroit. GG Jackson II and Jake LaRavia should continue to feature heavily for the Grizzlies without Williams Jr, although Saturday's matchup is an uncomfortable one for Memphis against a slow-paced team that has a very good defense.
Vince Williams Jr. Misses Another Game On Wednesday
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) will be out for a ninth consecutive game on Wednesday versus the Lakers. He remains on the shelf with a left patellar problem, with the team downgrading him from doubtful to out. Williams Jr.'s absence has secured significant roles in the rotation for GG Jackson II and Jake LaRavia. The young Grizzlies should relish the opportunity to pit their talents against LeBron James (ankle), who is expected to return to the Lakers lineup on Wednesday.
Memphis Grizzlies forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) is officially out on Monday versus the Nuggets. He's still dealing with tendonitis in his left patellar tendon. The 24-year-old has played 52 contests this season, averaging 10.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists. The Grizzlies lineup has been hampered with injuries this season. However, Desmond Bane (back), Scottie Pippen Jr. (shin) and Jake LaRavia (illness) will provide some relief to a depleted roster as they are available for Monday's tilt.
Memphis Grizzlies forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) is expected to miss his seventh consecutive game on Friday while still suffering from tendonitis in his left patellar tendon. The Grizzlies roster is still suffering from tons of injuries at the moment with Luke Kennard (personal) and Lamar Stevens (adductor) already ruled out while Desmond Bane (back) is considered doubtful like Williams. John Konchar (heel) and Scottie Pippen Jr. (shin) are questionable at the moment, so streaming options could become slim. Right now, GG Jackson II, Jake LaRavia, and Trey Jemison are looking like the most likely streaming options that will be available.
