Anderson (shoulder) is out for Thursday's game against Oklahoma City.
EDGE Analysis
It was reported earlier in the day that Anderson would be available in the case of an emergency, but it appears he's since been ruled out altogether. Look for the former first-round pick to undergo further testing on his shoulder before another update on his status for the future is released.

Anderson (shoulder) will be available to play in case of "emergencies" for Thursday's game against the Thunder, David Cobb of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson still needs to undergo more tests for his nagging shoulder injury, but he's seemingly healthy enough to play if the Grizzlies make trades, which could end up severely limiting the number of available players. More information could emerge as the situation develops.

Anderson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has been sidelined for the last three games while he nurses right shoulder soreness, and there has been no indication as to whether he is close to returning or not. The Grizzlies have used a number of different lineups in Anderson's absence, with Julian Washburn starting at small forward last game and Bruno Caboclo continuing to see extended minutes on the wing.

Anderson (shoulder) will not play Tuesday against Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson is still battling soreness in his right shoulder, and Tuesday will mark his third consecutive absence. With Garrett Temple doubtful and Omri Casspi out, expect the Grizzlies to turn to Bruno Caboclo and perhaps Julian Washburn for increased minutes at forward.

Anderson will be inactive for Friday's game against the Hornets due to right shoulder soreness.
EDGE Analysis
It's unfortunate news for Anderson who also missed eight straight games recently due to an ankle injury. It's unknown at the moment when exactly Anderson started to experience shoulder soreness and how severe it may be. With the UCLA product needing at least one game to recover, Justin Holiday will presumably start in place of Anderson on Friday.

Anderson had nine points (4-8 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block in 30 minutes during Monday's 95-92 loss to the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson returned to the lineup following an eight-game absence with a sprained ankle and immediately earned a substantial load of playing time. Moreover, he contributed in every category except three-point shooting. With that being said, there were bumps in the road, as he finished with more turnovers (four) than assists while committing five fouls along the way.

Anderson will be in the starting lineup Monday against the Nuggets, Chris Herrington of The Daily Memphian reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson is set to make his return after missing the previous eight games with a sprained ankle, and he'll find himself back in the starting five right away. The Grizzlies will shift rookie Jevon Carter back to the bench, while Justin Holiday remains in the lineup at one wing spot.

Anderson (ankle) will start Monday against the Nuggets, David Cobb of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has been cleared to rejoin the starting five after missing the past eight games with a Grade 2 ankle sprain. It's unclear if the forward will face any sort of minutes restriction in his first game back. Prior to suffering the injury, Anderson was averaging 7.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and a combined 2.2 steals/blocks per game (41 games).

Anderson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
This is the first time since Anderson suffered a Grade 2 ankle sprain two weeks ago that he has shown up on the injury report as anything but out, so it looks like the swingman could be close to making a return. He was originally given a timetable of 2-to-4 weeks, and Sunday marks two weeks exactly. Look for another update on Slow Mo to come sometime early Monday.
