In a game that saw a strong showing by Jaren Jackson Jr., who was able to tally 30 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 steals on 83/100/70 shooting splits. Unfortunately for the Grizzlies, both Marcus Smart and Desmond Bane went out of the game due to injuries and have been ruled out of today's game against the Bucks.

With little time to rest and recover, the Grizzlies are back in action tonight against the Milwaukee Bucks who also have their fair share of players on the injury report - notably Khris Middleton and Giannis Antetokounmpo. While Middleton remains out of action, Antetokounmpo has been upgraded to available for tonight's matchup.
