Konchar recorded eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 112-97 loss to the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

The Grizzlies are very shorthanded these days, and Konchar was able to take advantage of his minutes Wednesday. He's trending up in deeper formats, posting averages of 2.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.7 steals, 1.3 blocks and 0.7 three-pointers in 21.7 minutes over his last three games.

Konchar is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Konchar made his first start of the season Wednesday but will slide back to a reserve role Friday with Jock Landale (personal) returning to the starting five. Over his past four appearances, Konchar is averaging 2.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.5 assists in 15.3 minutes per contest.

Konchar will start Wednesday versus the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

With Santi Aldama (knee) unavailable, Konchar will draw his first start of the season and will be joined in the first unit by Ja Morant, Cedric Coward, Jaylen Wells and Jaren Jackson. Konchar can rack up boards and defensive stats when given the minutes, so he's on the radar as a potential streamer in deep leagues.

Konchar (thumb) registered zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one steal across five minutes in Sunday's 103-98 win over the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Konchar was available for the Grizzlies for the first time since Dec. 7 after completing his recovery from surgery to address a torn UCL in his left thumb. He was held out for the entirety of the first half before he entered the rotation for a brief stretch in the third quarter. Though Konchar is a strong defender who's capable of guarding multiple positions, he'll likely be at risk of falling out of the rotation once the Grizzlies get one or more of their five other injured players (Ja Morant, Zach Edey, Brandon Clarke, Scotty Pippen and Ty Jerome) back in action.

Konchar (thumb) is available for Sunday's game against the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Konchar will shed his questionable tag and return from a 14-game absence due to a torn UCL in his left thumb that required surgery. In 22 regular-season appearances thus far, the 29-year-old forward has averaged 3.0 points and 2.7 rebounds while shooting 51.0 percent from the field in 13.0 minutes per tilt.

Konchar (thumb) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Konchar has missed the last 14 games for Memphis, and the questionable tag suggests he might have a shot at returning Sunday. Konchar hasn't played since Dec. 7 due to a torn UCL in his left thumb, and if he's cleared to return, he's likely to see minutes off the bench as a spot-up shooter.

Konchar (thumb) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Konchar will miss his 14th consecutive game Friday. His next chance to play will come Sunday against the Nets.

Konchar (thumb) is doubtful to play Friday versus the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Konchar hasn't played since Dec. 7 as he's been recovering from thumb surgery, and while he'll likely remain on the inactive list for Friday's game, his being listed as "doubtful" can be considered a sign of progress. Check back for official word on Konchar's status closer to Friday's tip.

Konchar (thumb) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Konchar hasn't played since Dec. 7 due to a torn UCL in his left thumb that required surgery, and he is expected to be re-evaluated any day now. Still, he should be considered week-to-week until the Grizzlies offer an update on his progress.

Konchar underwent successful left thumb surgery Thursday and will be re-evaluated in three weeks.

EDGE Analysis

The team initially reported that Konchar was out indefinitely following surgery, so this latest update brings some more clarity around his timetable for a return. He'll remain sidelined at least until the end of the calendar year and likely into January as he rehabs from a procedure that repaired a torn UCL in his left thumb.
