Myke

Henry

He did not play in Las Vegas, but the Grizzlies did give him run late in the year last season after they suffered so many injuries to the forward spots.

We haven’t heard about Green practicing in any capacity, so this is no surprise. He’s missed three straight games and we’ll consider him questionable to return vs. the Suns on Monday. Jarell Martin (knee, ankle) isn’t a lock to play on Friday, so guys like Myke Henry and Ivan Rabb could be forced into solid minutes.

Rabb started due to the absence of Jarell Martin (knee) and JaMychal Green (ankle), but even that didn’t last long with Myke Henry replacing him to start the third quarter. He couldn’t get out of his own way with foul trouble tonight, but either way he’s not a fantasy option with Martin and Green day-to-day.

The Grizzlies were patching together the frontcourt rotation tonight -- Ivan Rabb started but struggled with fouls, and both he and Henry could fall out of the rotation when Jarell Martin (knee) and JaMychal Green (ankle) return to action. Also in the mix are Brandan Wright (12 minutes) and Deyonta Davis (21 minutes), and this is a situation to avoid entirely outside of deep leagues.

Chandler Parsons (right knee soreness) is also listed as questionable, although it stands to reason he’ll instead rest through the All-Star break. If Green can’t suit up there will be more minutes for Jarell Martin, as well as Ivan Rabb and Myke Henry.

The 25-year-old rookie signed a two-way contract back on Jan. 13 and impressed in his second game with the Grizzlies -- he finished scoreless in 14 minutes in his debut. He had nine points alone in the fourth quarter and helped the Grizzlies come back from a 15-point deficit. Henry is getting an opportunity while JaMychal Green (ankle) is out, but unless he does this again, Jarell Martin will continue to be the better short-term asset.

Henry is averaging 15.7 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists for OKC’s G-League affiliate this season. No fantasy impact to note here, as it is highly unlikely Henry earns a spot in the Memphis rotation.
