Anderson (heel) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's preseason tilt with the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has been working through a sore left heel recently, which has costed him the last couple preseason games. Still, his absence has likely been precautionary and Anderson could make his return to the court Wednesday. If Anderson does in fact get cleared, he could have a chance at jumping into the starting five.

Anderson (heel) is doubtful for Saturday's contest against the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was kept out of Friday's game against the Hawks, and he'll probably sit out once again on the second half of a back-to-back set. Ahead of Friday's contest, Michael Wallace of Grizzlies.com noted that Anderson would be playing if it were a regular-season game, so the injury is relatively minor.

Anderson (heel) has been ruled out for Friday's preseason matchup against the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff previously said Anderson was dealing with an Achilles injury, but it appears the team is now officially listing it as left heel soreness. As a precautionary measure, Anderson will be held out of Friday's exhibition and there's a chance he also sits out Saturday's tilt with the Pacers considering the Grizzlies are heading into a back-to-back set. All that said, the injury is expected to be minor and according to Michael Wallace of Grizzlies.com, Anderson would be playing if it were a regular-season game.

Anderson is dealing with "an Achilles thing" and his status for Friday's preseason matchup with the Hawks is uncertain, Chris Herrington of the Daily Memphian reports.
EDGE Analysis
The exact severity of the injury is unclear, but the fact that Anderson isn't being ruled out a day in advance is encouraging it's only minor. Look for him to test the Achilles out during Friday's morning shootaround, with another update likely being provided following that session. It's worth it to note the Grizzlies are heading into a back-to-back set Friday and Saturday, so there's a chance they attempt to be cautious with Anderson and hold him out of one, or both, of those contests.

Anderson finished with 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, two assists, and two steals in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 131-115 loss to the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson showcased his well-rounded game while coming off the bench in his Grizzlies debut. Apart from perimeter shooting and elite speed, there's not much Anderson lacks. For a team that has been lacking versatile wings for years, Anderson's ability to check more boxes than not could result in him earning a sizable role.

Anderson will not have his four-year, $37 million offer sheet matched by the Spurs and become a member of the Grizzlies, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's a somewhat surprising move for the Spurs given how Anderson has been a key contributor for them over the past four years and that the salary is relatively cheap, but nevertheless, Anderson will now officially become a member of the Grizzlies. With that, Anderson is in a great position to be Memphis' starting small forward to open up the season, which will likely send second-year player Dillon Brooks to a role off the bench. Anderson's diverse skill set should also help the team fill a void left by the departure of Tyreke Evans, who served as a primary ball-handler on occasion last season. Expect Anderson's usage to be much higher overall as he joins a less talented Grizzlies team that is in need of plenty of help on the wing.

Anderson agreed to a four-year, $37.2 million offer sheet with Memphis on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Spurs will have 48 hours to match the offer. Anderson saw an increase in minutes during the 2017 season, producing 7.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game on an average of 26.7 minutes.

Anderson received a $4.7 million qualifying offer from the Spurs, making him a restricted free agent, Paul Garcia of Project Spurs reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Kawhi Leonard (quad) missing all but nine games this past season, Anderson was thrust into an extended role for the first time in his four-year career. He averaged 26.7 minutes per contest, nearly double the 14.2 he finished with a year prior, and added 7.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.6 steals across 74 games. While he certainly wasn't the Spurs' go-to threat offensively, he did provide the all-around production and energy that coach Gregg Popovich likes and the two sides are expected to ultimately come to an agreement on some sort of extension. Even if Anderson does sign an offer sheet from another team, the Spurs will be able to match the offer if they feel it's reasonable.

Anderson contributed six points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 17 minutes during San Antonio's 110-97 loss to the Warriors in Game 3 of their Western Conference first-round playoff series.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson came off the bench for the second consecutive game and produced his best stat line of the series. The fourth-year forward had scored a single point over 21 minutes in the first two contests against the Warriors, so Thursday's production represented a breakout effort in comparison. Given his relatively limited minutes and modest numbers thus far, Anderson's DFS prospects aren't very bright heading into Sunday's Game 4.
