Grizzlies' Marcus Smart: Doubtful for Sunday
Marcus Smart (illness) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.Smart returned Wednesday from a six-game absence due to a left ankle injury and has played in each of the Memphis Grizzlies' last two games. However, he is now feeling under the weather and it seems unlikely he'll play Sunday. With Smart doubtful and Ja Morant (hip) already ruled out, Scotty Pippen and Jaylen Wells will start in the backcourt and Luke Kennard will see an uptick in minutes off the bench.

Grizzlies' Marcus Smart: Strong production in return
Marcus Smart (ankle) tallied 15 points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six assists, two rebounds, one steal and one block across 23 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 128-123 loss to the Lakers.Memphis was still without six players due to injury Wednesday, but Smart's return from a six-game absence due to an ankle sprain provided a lift. Though he was deployed off the bench Wednesday, Smart delivered his best all-around performance of the season and could reclaim his spot on the top unit and see his minutes pick up as he becomes further removed from the ankle injury. Smart may be worthy of at least a cursory pickup in 12-team leagues or deeper where he might have been dropped following his recent absence.

Grizzlies' Marcus Smart: Set to play Wednesday
Marcus Smart (ankle) remains listed as questionable but is on track to play in Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Shams Charania reported on ESPN's "NBA Today" program.Expect the Memphis Grizzlies to officially clear Smart to play ahead of the 10 p.m. ET tipoff after the veteran guard had missed the last six games with a right ankle sprain. Before suffering the injury, Smart had started in each of the Grizzlies' first five games and averaged 5.6 points, 2.8 assists, 2.2 rebounds, 1.2 steals, 0.6 three-pointers and 0.6 blocks in 19.6 minutes. Given that he's making his return from an injury, Smart could be limited to around 20-to-25 minutes Wednesday, though head coach Taylor Jenkins hasn't specified that the 30-year-old will be subject to a restriction. Once he's further removed from the ankle sprain, Smart could make a push for a regular 30-minute role while the Grizzlies are without two of their other backcourt starters in Ja Morant (hip) and Desmond Bane (oblique).
