Williams (head) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Pelicans. He'll close with no points (0-2 FG), one assist and one block across five minutes.

Williams' night ended prematurely after taking a hit to the side of his head. The guard had a minimal impact in Monday's contest, though it's unclear when he sustained the hit, and it likely played a role in him logging just five minutes. Williams' next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Hawks.

Carrington was ejected from Monday's game against Golden State after being assessed two technical fouls, Ben Strober of 106-7 The Fan Washington reports. He'll end the night with four points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and one assist in 12 minutes.

Carrington was ejected with 4:40 remaining in the third quarter following a verbal exchange with an opposing player. Sharife Cooper and Jamir Watkins could see more opportunities down the stretch with Carrington out of the picture.

Young (quadriceps) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Warriors. He'll close with 21 points (7-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five assists, two rebounds, one steal and one block across 21 minutes.

After a collision with Will Richard, Young hobbled off to the locker room at the 7:53 mark of the third quarter. The guard was able to walk off under his own power but will not return to Monday's contest due to a right quad contusion. His next chance to play will come Tuesday against the Pistons, though it's unlikely the 27-year-old suits up for the second half of the back-to-back.

Collins is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Spurs, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Collins came off the bench and played 20 minutes Saturday in his return from a seven-game absence due to a neck strain but will re-enter the starting five Monday with Kawhi Leonard (ankle) inactive. In 45 starts this season, Collins is averaging 13.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 28.3 minutes per contest.

Capela is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Lakers, Khobi Price of The California Post reports.

With Alperen Sengun (back) inactive, Capela will slide into the starting five at center. The veteran big man's lone start this season came Dec. 6 against the Mavericks, when he totaled eight points (4-7 FG, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds, two blocks and one assist across 30 minutes. Dorian Finney-Smith and Jeff Green figure to serve as small-ball backups to Capela at center Monday.

Sengun (back) is out for Monday's game against the Lakers, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

Sengun was added to the injury report as questionable after missing Friday's game with a back injury, and the team has since decided to hold him out of Monday's matchup. Clint Capela will draw the start at center in Sengun's place.

Spencer is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Bulls.

Spencer started Friday against the Pistons and poured in an efficient 19 points but will revert to a reserve role Monday as the Grizzlies are slated to start Walter Clayton, Cedric Coward, Jaylen Wells, Rayan Rupert and Olivier-Maxence Prosper. Spencer has come off the bench in 46 of his 63 appearances this season, averaging 11.5 points, 4.4 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 22.2 minutes per contest as a reserve.

Rupert is starting Monday's game against the Bulls.

Rupert was inactive for Friday's game against the Pistons, but he'll be right back in the mix Monday, making his third start of March. He totaled 13 points, seven rebounds, two assists and one steal in 38 minutes during his last start Thursday against Dallas.

Hendricks is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Bulls.

Hendricks has started two of the past three contests and logged 30 minutes in Friday's start, though he'll revert to a bench role Monday as the Grizzlies roll out a lineup of Walter Clayton, Cedric Coward, Jaylen Wells, Rayan Rupert and Olivier-Maxence Prosper. Hendricks has come off the bench in 38 of his 48 appearances this season, averaging 7.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 16.8 minutes per contest as a reserve.

Clayton is starting Monday's game against the Bulls.

Clayton will join the starting lineup after missing three straight games due to a right ankle sprain. He starred as a playmaker in his last start March 1 against Indiana, finishing with 14 assists in 34 minutes.
