Grizzlies' Jahmai Mashack: Logs big minutes in return
Mashack (concussion) ended Wednesday's 136-119 loss to Denver with nine points (4-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven assists and three rebounds across 33 minutes.
Mashack missed the Grizzlies' previous two games while in concussion protocol, but after gaining clearance for Wednesday's contest, he moved into the starting five and saw heavy minutes while Memphis listed 13 players out. Over his last seven appearances, Mashack is averaging 7.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.6 three-pointers in 27.3 minutes per contest.

Bucks' Gary Trent: Limited run in return
Trent (hip) finished with seven points (3-12 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and one assist in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 137-111 loss to Detroit.
Cleared to play following a three-game absence due to a left hip pointer, Trent came off the bench after he had started in each of his previous four appearances. Though Trent took on a 31.8 percent usage rate in his return, his poor shooting from downtown resulted in a disappointing fantasy line.
