The Memphis Grizzlies and Chicago Bulls have injuries to report
Updated Injury Report: Grizzlies vs. Bulls
Updated Injury Report: Grizzlies vs. Bulls /

The Memphis Grizzlies are in Chicago on Sunday afternoon to face the Bulls. This is one of just five remaining games for Memphis, four of which come on the road. With the Bucks and the Pelicans being the only remaining opponents with winning records that Memphis will face, the Grizzlies still have a real chance at the first seed. 

Currently sitting just two games behind the Denver Nuggets for the top spot in the Western Conference, Memphis could make a push for the first seed in the last week of the season. The Grizzlies will start that pursuit on Sunday afternoon against Chicago, and they do not have any surprises on the injury report for this one. 

Steven Adams, Brandon Clarke, and Ziaire Williams all remain out for Memphis, while John Konchar and Vince Williams Jr. are both questionable. For Chicago, they will be without Lonzo Ball and Justin Lewis, while Alex Caruso and Javonte Green are listed as probable. 

The Bulls look to be headed for a play-in finish, but they are currently hoping to climb from 10th to 8th, as that will give them two chances to make it out of the play-in tournament and into the playoffs. As previously mentioned, the Grizzlies are still playing for the first seed, as they have done well to create separation between themselves and the third seed Sacramento Kings. 

Positioned nicely as they enter the final week of the season, the Grizzlies have to feel good about how the regular season has gone, especially given all of the distractions they have dealt with.
