Reddish last played last Saturday in the team's loss to the Utah Jazz. He played in 11 minutes, scored zero points, and grabbed one board in his previous contest. 

In 33 games this season, Reddish has averaged 6.5 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 1.4 assists, along with 1.2 steals per game in 23 minutes. The 24-year-old isn't known for his offensive prowess but has excelled at times on the defensive side of the ball.

He may play today, and whether he starts or comes off the bench will be decided by head coach Darvin Ham. It's a must-win tonight, and hopefully, the purple and gold show up and show out.
