Isaiah

Stewart

Sidelined by a right knee injury, Stewart played 10 minutes in the first half of Wednesday’s game. His absence likely means a few more minutes for Quinten Post, who’s back in the rotation after missing two games with an ankle injury.

Post has missed the Grizzlies’ last two games, leaving Isaiah Stewart as the lone backup to starting center Zach Edey. Expect the same on Wednesday if Post can’t play.

With Zach Edey in foul trouble and Quinten Post sidelined with an ankle injury, Stewart ended up playing just under 28 minutes in this game. Beef Stew has averaged 18.7 points per game over their last three while hitting two shots from beyond the arc in each. He has been an incredible addition for Memphis this season and has been a big part of their early-season success. However, the fantasy production will be inconsistent, even if he has been hot as of late.

Post will miss a second straight game while recovering from a sprained right ankle. Isaiah Stewart will serve as Zach Edey’s primary backup, and he scored 24 points in Saturday’s win over the Kings.

Post didn’t play in Saturday’s win over the Kings, leaving the backup center role solely to Isaiah Stewart. Beef Stew was outstanding, shooting 8-of-9 from the field and scoring 24 points. The good news is that Post participated in Sunday’s practice.

Over six seasons with the Pistons, Stewart had nine games with 20 points or more. He recorded his first 20-point game as a Grizzly on Saturday, missing just one shot and knocking down two three-pointers. Beef Stew didn’t record any defensive stats against the Kings, but the offensive freedom he’s been granted in Memphis is something to watch moving forward. If he can produce consistently, that could make Stewart more appealing to some fantasy managers.

Post is out after spraining his right ankle during Thursday’s win over the Trail Blazers. This leaves Isaiah Stewart to serve as Zach Edey’s primary backup.

Post sprained his right ankle during Thursday’s win over the Trail Blazers and did not return. If he can’t play on Saturday, Isaiah Stewart would be Zach Edey’s primary backup.

Quinten Post (ankle) exited this game early, which allowed Stewart to be the primary backup center. He did most of his scoring after Post’s exit, with 15 of his 18 points coming in the second half. Stewart has been solid as a reserve for Memphis this year, though this was his season high for scoring. Unless he’s filling in for Zach Edey as a starter, Stewart shouldn’t be rostered outside of deep leagues. This level of scoring won’t come consistently.

Post is not expected to return to this game, which will leave Isaiah Stewart as the primary backup center behind Zach Edey. Post had been playing well with 10 points and four rebounds in seven first-half minutes.
