Powell (calf) is available for Sunday's game against the Raptors.

Powell found himself on the injury report ahead of Sunday's contest due to a calf issue, but he will be able to play through it. Powell started Friday's game due to Daniel Gafford (ankle) and Marvin Bagley (neck) being sidelined, but he saw just 15 minutes. Now, both Gafford and Bagley are returning to the lineup, which will likely reduce Powell's role.

Aldama (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nets.

Aldama continues to be sidelined by a right knee injury that has prevented him from playing since Feb. 4 against the Kings. His next chance to suit up is Tuesday against the Sixers, but the fifth-year pro can be considered doubtful for that contest given the lack of a medical update from Memphis.

Demin (foot) won't play Monday versus Memphis.

This will be Demin's fifth consecutive game on the inactive list, and he continues to be ruled out a day in advance of tipoff. The rookie first-rounder can be considered highly questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.

Flagg (foot) is available for Sunday's game against the Raptors.

Flagg has been given the green light to play in a third consecutive game while he continues to manage a left foot injury. That injury forced him to miss eight consecutive games from mid-February to early March, and he'll operate under a minutes restriction during Sunday's road tilt, per Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com. In Friday's blowout loss to the Celtics, Flagg finished with 16 points, eight rebounds, six assists and one steal over 30 minutes.

Gibson (reconditioning) is out for Monday's game in Brooklyn.

The veteran center has yet to make his Memphis debut, as he's still working on his conditioning. Gibson's next chance to play will come Tuesday in Philadelphia.

Coward is doubtful for Monday's game against the Nets due to right knee injury management.

Coward has appeared in two of the team's last three games, but he appears set to miss Monday's contest as he continues to nurse a knee injury. If he is officially ruled out, more minutes will be available for Walter Clayton, Jahmai Mashack and Cam Spencer.

Jerome (calf) is doubtful to play Monday versus the Nets.

Monday's game will be the first of a back-to-back set, and it looks like Jerome will receive a maintenance day. Scotty Pippen (toe) is also expected to sit out Monday's game, so Walter Clayton, Javon Small and Cam Spencer should see a bump in minutes.

Hendricks is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Nets due to right thumb soreness.

Hendricks may have picked up the injury during the Grizzlies' 123-120 loss to the Clippers on Saturday, when he finished with 18 points, four rebounds, two assists, two steals, two blocks and three three-pointers over 26 minutes. There are several Memphis players listed on the injury report, so Olivier-Maxence Prosper, Rayan Rupert and GG Jackson are all in line for more minutes in Monday's road tilt.

Edgecombe (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

Edgecombe could miss a third straight game due to a back injury. If he is unable to play, Trendon Watford, Quentin Grimes and Jabari Walker could see expanded roles, especially with Tyrese Maxey (finger) already ruled out.

Maxey suffered a right finger sprain in Saturday's loss to Atlanta and will miss at least two games, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

The star point guard exited Saturday's contest with just 16 seconds remaining after colliding with Adem Bona, and the former won't play in Philadelphia's upcoming back-to-back set Monday and Tuesday against the Cavaliers and Grizzlies, respectively. With Maxey sidelined, Cameron Payne and Quentin Grimes are candidates for increased playing time, while Tyrese Martin could enter the rotation. Maxey's next opportunity to play will come Thursday in Detroit.
