Full Injury Report: Grizzlies vs. Trail Blazers
Now in full tank-mode, the Portland Trail Blazers have one of the longest injury reports possible for Tuesday night's game vs. the Memphis Grizzlies. Ibou Badji, Jerami Grant, Keon Johnson, Damian Lillard, Nassir Little, Jusuf Nurkic, Anfernee Simons, and Justise Winslow have all been ruled out for Portland. John Butler Jr., Kevin Knox II, Cam Reddish, Matisse Thybulle, and Trendon Watford are all listed as questionable.
For the Grizzlies, their injury report is not nearly as extensive, as only Steven Adams, Brandon Clarke, and Ziaire Williams have been ruled out. Dillon Brooks is being listed as questionable for Memphis with right hip soreness.
As previously mentioned, the Trail Blazers are no longer interested in winning games at this point in the season; however, that mentality does not translate to the players actually on the floor. As shown in their last game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Trail Blazers have a group of competitive young players that will compete regardless of who sits out. Because of this, the Grizzlies must be ready for a battle.
Memphis is close to locking up the two-seed, but they will likely still need at least one more win to hold off the Sacramento Kings. This game against Portland is a great opportunity to put one in the win column, as the Grizzlies will be fully-loaded against a Blazers group missing all of their top talent.
