Leonard won't start Monday's game against the Spurs.

Guerschon Yabusele (ankle) will return to the starting five following a one-game absence, resulting in Miller retreating to the second unit. Over his last four appearances off the bench, the 22-year-old forward has averaged 14.3 points and 6.8 rebounds in 22.3 minutes per tilt.

Jarreau (elbow) is available for Monday's game against Phoenix.

Jarreau exited Saturday's 125-124 win over the Bulls because of an elbow injury and was in danger of missing Monday's game, but he will ultimately suit up. With a lengthy injury report for the Grizzlies on Monday, Jarreau should see plenty of minutes regardless of his role.

Gibson (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Suns.

Gibson will miss a second consecutive contest due to right foot soreness. Taylor Hendricks will likely see a bump in minutes due to Olivier-Maxence Prosper (wrist) and Gibson being sidelined. The veteran center's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Knicks.

Prosper (wrist) is out for Monday's game against Phoenix.

Prosper has been officially downgraded to out due to a right wrist injury. Taylor Hendricks and Tyler Burton should be in for plenty of minutes with the Grizzlies battling a plethora of injuries in the frontcourt.

Rupert (two-way) won't play in Monday's game against the Suns.

In an effort to preserve Rupert's eligibility at the NBA level, the Grizzlies will opt to hold him out Monday. The two-way player's next chance to play will come Wednesday against New York. After Monday, he'll be eligible to play in four of Memphis' final seven games.

Clayton (ankle) is available for Monday's game against Phoenix.

Clayton has made routine appearances on the injury report of late, although he will suit up for his ninth consecutive contest. With a plethora of players ruled out for Memphis, Clayton might draw his first start since March 21. However, he should still get plenty of action even if he doesn't enter the starting lineup.

Pritchard won't start Monday's game against the Hawks, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

With Derrick White (knee) back in the lineup, Pritchard will retreat to the second unit. The 28-year-old guard has averaged 19.6 points, 3.6 assists and 3.2 rebounds across 31.6 minutes per game over his last five outings off the bench.

Small (back) won't play Monday against Phoenix.

Small was tabbed as doubtful on the team's initial injury report for Monday's clash, so this update comes as no surprise. His next chance to suit up will arrive Wednesday against the Knicks.

Hauser isn't starting Monday's game against Atlanta, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

The Celtics are electing to give Jordan Walsh an opportunity to start Monday, and Hauser will make the corresponding move to the bench. He's averaging 10.4 points and 3.8 rebounds in his last five appearances as a reserve, dating back to a stretch from Dec. 22 to Jan. 1.

Scheierman will start in Monday's game against Atlanta, according to Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston.

Scheierman came off the bench in Sunday's 114-99 win over the Charlotte Hornets. However, he will return to the starting lineup for the rematch with the Hawks. In 18 starts this season, the 25-year-old has averaged 8.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.1 blocks and 0.8 steals across 27.9 minutes per game.
