Grizzlies' Walter Clayton: Unlikely to play Friday

Clayton is expected to miss a third straight game due to a right ankle sprain. In Clayton's presumed absence, Cam Spencer and Javon Small should see solid minutes off the bench behind Ty Jerome and Cedric Coward on Friday.

Grizzlies' Walter Clayton: Out for Thursday
Clayton (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Mavericks.
Clayton was listed as doubtful for Thursday's game, so it's not surprising to see him hit the sidelines for the first game of this back-to-back set. Cedric Coward (knee), Ty Jerome (calf), Scotty Pippen (toe) and Cam Spencer (back) will join Clayton on the inactive list for Thursday's game, so Javon Small and Jahmai Mashack should get all the run they can handle. For now, Clayton should be considered questionable for Friday's game in Detroit.

Grizzlies' Walter Clayton: Doubtful for Thursday
Clayton (ankle) is doubtful for Thursday's game versus the Mavericks.
Clayton is on track to miss his second straight game Thursday, but maybe he'll be able to get back out there for Friday's game in Detroit. Ty Jerome (calf) and Cedric Coward (knee) are also doubtful to play and Scotty Pippen (toe) has already been ruled out, so Cam Spencer figures to see major minutes Thursday evening.

Grizzlies' Walter Clayton: Not playing Tuesday
Clayton (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
Clayton is dealing with a right ankle sprain that he likely picked up during Monday's loss to the Nets, when he played 29 minutes and finished with 13 points, four assists, one steal and one three-pointer. In his absence, more minutes will be available for Cam Spencer, Javon Small and Jahmai Mashack. Clayton's next chance to play is Thursday against Dallas.

Grizzlies' Walter Clayton: Listed as questionable
Clayton (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
Clayton is battling a sprained right ankle during the second part of Memphis' back-to-back set after posting 13 points, four assists and one steal in 29 minutes off the bench during Monday's loss in Brooklyn. The likes of Jahmai Mashack, Cam Spencer and Javon Small could all see an uptick in ball-handling duties if Clayton is unable to play Tuesday.

Grizzlies' Walter Clayton: Not starting Monday
Updating a previous report, Clayton will not start Monday's game against the Nets.
The Grizzlies have only eight players available Monday, though Clayton will remain in a bench role. However, the rookie first-rounder should still see significant playing time. Over four March appearances (one start), he has averaged 7.5 points, 9.3 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 25.8 minutes per contest.

Grizzlies' Walter Clayton: Starting Monday
Clayton will start Monday's game against the Nets, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
With the Grizzlies being shorthanded in the front end of this back-to-back set, Clayton will step into the starting five. As a starter this season (two games), the rookie first-rounder has averaged 8.0 points, 10.0 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 29.5 minutes per contest.

Grizzlies' Walter Clayton: Back in bench role
Clayton will come off the bench Tuesday against the Timberwolves.
Clayton drew a spot start Sunday and fared well by dishing out 14 assists, but he'll return to the bench Tuesday due to Ty Jerome being cleared to play. Clayton has scored in double figures in just two of his last 14 appearances as a reserve.

Grizzlies' Walter Clayton: Moving to starting role
Clayton is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Pacers, per Tony East of Forbes.com.
Clayton will slide into the starting five for Sunday's matchup, replacing fellow rookie Javon Small, who had started the Grizzlies' last two contests. This move comes as head coach Tuomas Iisalo continues to shuffle his backcourt, with Ty Jerome (thigh) officially ruled out and several other rotation pieces sidelined.

Grizzlies' Walter Clayton: Hands out season-high 14 dimes
Clayton notched seven points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, 14 assists, one block and four steals in 34 minutes during Sunday's 125-106 win over the Pacers.
Making his second career start, Clayton set a season high in both dimes and swipes. The Grizzlies are likely to continue shuffling their starting lineup around until Ja Morant (elbow) is cleared to return, and Clayton is beginning to flash his potential as a playmaker. Across his first seven outings for Memphis, the rookie first-rounder has averaged 8.4 points, 6.4 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 25.6 minutes per game.

Grizzlies' Walter Clayton: Shifting to bench Monday
Clayton isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Sacramento.
Clayton drew a rare start Saturday against the Heat, but he'll retreat to a bench role Monday as the Grizzlies have elected to tinker with the starting five. The Florida product is averaging 6.0 points, 2.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.0 steals over his last five matchups.

Grizzlies' Walter Clayton: Nine points, six dimes in return
Clayton (calf) provided nine points (4-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt), six assists and four rebounds across 25 minutes in Saturday's 136-120 loss to the Heat.
Back in action after missing the Grizzlies' previous three games due to a right calf contusion, Clayton stepped into the starting five in place of GG Jackson, who headed to the bench after a six-game run on the top unit. Clayton won't be guaranteed to stick in the starting five moving forward, and he could be headed to the bench as soon as Monday against the Kings, if one of Cedric Coward (knee) or Santi Aldama (knee) is able to return. Since being acquired from the Jazz at the trade deadline, Clayton has appeared in three games for Memphis and is averaging 9.3 points, 5.7 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 25.0 minutes per contest.

Grizzlies' Walter Clayton: Moving to starting role
Clayton is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Heat.
Clayton is returning from a three-game absence following a right calf contusion, and he'll move to the starting lineup right away.

Clayton (calf) is available for Saturday's game against Miami.
Clayton will shed his questionable tag and return to action following a three-game absence due to a right calf contusion. In two outings since being traded from Utah to Memphis, the rookie first-rounder has averaged 9.5 points, 5.5 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 25.0 minutes per game.

Grizzlies' Walter Clayton: Could return Saturday
Clayton (calf) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Heat.
Clayton has missed the Grizzlies' last three games due to a right calf contusion, but the rookie first-rounder has a chance to return for Saturday's road contest. He has averaged 18.3 minutes per game off the bench this season, but even if he's available to play Saturday, he could operate in a reduced role due to the returns of Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen.

Grizzlies' Walter Clayton: Not playing Friday
Clayton (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Jazz.
The rookie first-rounder will miss a third consecutive game while nursing a right calf contusion, and his next chance to play is in the second leg of the Grizzlies' back-to-back set against the Heat on Saturday. The Grizzlies are dealing with multiple injuries, so Javon Small and Jahmai Mashack should see significant roles Friday due to the absences of Clayton, Ty Jerome (calf), Scotty Pippen (toe) and Cedric Coward (knee).

Grizzlies' Walter Clayton: Downgraded to out
Clayton (calf) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
Clayton will miss a second consecutive contest due to a bruised right calf. With Cedric Coward (knee) also sidelined, Cam Spencer and Scotty Pippen could see an uptick in playing time. Clayton's next chance to play will come after the All-Star break, when the Grizzlies face the Jazz on Feb. 20.
