The Memphis Grizzlies will be hosting the visiting Los Angeles Clippers today, in what will be the first meeting of the regular season. While the Clippers have been putting up a formidable challenge without Kawhi Leonard, Memphis will be a completely different caliber of opponent. Especially, with the health deficit that the Clippers are facing against Memphis.

The Grizzlies have four players listed on the injury report: GG Jackson, Marcus Smart, Jay Huff, and Vince Williams Jr.

Marcus Smart is out with an injured right index finger.

GG Jackson is still out as he repairs his right fifth metatarsal.

The Clippers have five players listed on their injury report: Kawhi Leonard, Kobe Brown, Trentyn Flowers, Terance Mann, and P.J. Tucker.
