Memphis Grizzlies forward Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This is good news after Tillman has missed the last four games while recovering from a left knee injury. It's uncertain at the moment if he'll take over as the starter or if they will continue to roll with Bismack Biyombo. Regardless, Biyombo will likely still see significant minutes in the rotation. He's averaging 11.3 points, 11.8 rebounds and 1.8 blocks and should be rostered ...

Memphis Grizzlies center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He has missed each of the last four games while he recovers from a left knee issue. In his absence, Bismack Biyombo has been starting and playing extremely well. Biyombo has recorded double digits in rebounds in each of his first four starts with the team. Honestly, it wouldn't be surprising to see the team continue to start Biyombo once Tillman is healthy enough to ...

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) isn't expected to play in Sunday's game with the Clippers. The 24-year-old missed his previous three games because of a knee injury, so his next chance to suit up will be Tuesday versus the Lakers. In the meantime, Bismack Biyombo, amassing a 15-point, 15-rebound double-double in Friday's In-Season Tournament loss to the Jazz, will likely get another start. While Biyombo has played well in his short tenure with the Grizzlies, he's ...

Memphis Grizzlies center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) is considered doubtful for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This doesn't come as a surprise considering Tillman has missed each of the last three games due to a left knee issue. Bismack Biyombo has been starting in his place and playing extremely well. He's averaging 10.0 points, 12.7 boards and 1.0 blocks over the last three games. He'll be a must-have fantasy option until Tillman is able to get back on the court.

Memphis Grizzlies center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) will miss his third consecutive game with what the team is calling left knee injury recovery. This seems like there's still some soreness in his left knee and it's causing enough discomfort that he can't suit up and play on Friday against the Utah Jazz. The frontcourt is very thin after the Grizzlies have been hit by a major injury bug. Bismack Biyombo will likely see plenty of minutes at center while Santi Aldama could see some added time at...

The Memphis Grizzlies have ruled out center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. Memphis quickly downgraded Tillman to out on Tuesday after previously calling him day-to-day with left knee soreness, which made him a late scratch prior to Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. It's unclear if the 24-year-old disruptive defender suffered a setback during pregame warmups, but his next opportunity to suit up comes on Friday versus the Utah Jazz. With ...

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Xavier Tillman Sr. is considered the "leader in the clubhouse" to start following starter Steven Adams' (knee) season-ending knee surgery. Tillman is essentially the last big man standing for Wednesday's regular-season opener versus the New Orleans Pelicans, with Santi Aldama (ankle) and Brandon Clarke (Achilles) sidelined. Free-throw shooting could be a problem, but Tillman posted some fairly well-rounded numbers with the starting five last year. The ...

Memphis Grizzlies center Xavier Tillman Sr. will be back with the team for at least one more season. The organization has decided to exercise the team option on Tillman for the 2023-2024 campaign. Tillman averaged career-highs with 7.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists across 19.1 minutes per game last season. He mainly played off the bench, but had a bigger role in the rotation when Steven Adams went down with a knee injury. Normally, Tillman doesn't have a big role when Adams and Jaren ...

Memphis Grizzlies forward Xavier Tillman Sr. posted one of the best games of his career as he entered the starting five with Ja Morant (hand) remaining on the sidelines. The 24-year-old posted 22 points on 10-for-13 shooting, adding 13 rebounds and three assists. He played mistake-free basketball and boasted the highest plus/minus out of the entire starting five. His previous career best in the playoffs was 13 points and 7 rebounds which came against Minnesota in the first round of last ...
