Quickley (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

Quickley is dealing with right foot plantar fasciitis, which could cost him a second straight contest. With Brandon Ingram (heel) also questionable for Wednesday, the Raptors could need Jamal Shead and Ja'Kobe Walter to handle additional playmaking duties in the backcourt.

Ingram (heel) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

Ingram was a late scratch ahead of Monday's win over Utah and could miss a second straight game due to right heel inflammation. Ja'Kobe Walter would likely draw another start if Ingram is ruled out, though Jamal Shead and Gradey Dick would also be candidates to see increased playing time.

Fox won't play Wednesday against the Grizzlies due to lower-back tightness.

This will be a rare absence for Fox, who has missed only one game since Nov. 7. Dylan Harper, Jordan McLaughlin and Keldon Johnson will likely see more run in the backcourt in Fox's stead.

Small (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against San Antonio.

Small is in jeopardy of missing a second consecutive contest due to lower-back soreness. If the rookie second-rounder isn't cleared to return to action, Cam Spencer, DeJon Jarreau and Walter Clayton would be candidates to see increased playing time.

Mashack is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Spurs due to a left ankle sprain.

Mashack appears to be set for a fifth consecutive absence Wednesday. With Javon Small (back) in danger of sitting out, the injury-riddled Grizzlies should turn to Walter Clayton, Cam Spencer and DeJon Jarreau to shoulder the load in the backcourt versus San Antonio.

Spencer (back) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

Spencer was held out of Monday's loss to Atlanta due to back soreness, though he's set to return to action Wednesday. Over his last five appearances (one start), the second-year guard has averaged 10.0 points, 4.2 assists, 1.8 three-pointers, 1.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals across 23.0 minutes per tilt.

Wells is out for Wednesday's game against San Antonio due to right big toe soreness.

Wells departed Monday's game against the Hawks with a foot injury, but the soreness is apparently isolated to his big toe. Regardless, Wells won't be able to suit up Wednesday as a result of the injury. He's one of nine players listed as out or doubtful for Wednesday's contest, leaving plenty minutes to go around for whomever Memphis clears to play against the Spurs.

Coward (personal) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

Following a three-game absence for personal reasons, the rookie first-rounder will rejoin the Grizzlies for Wednesday's action. Coward has averaged 13.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 three-pointers in 23.2 minutes per contest over his last six games.

Jerome is out for Wednesday's game against the Spurs due to a left ankle sprain.

Jerome will continue his recent trend of sitting out every other game or so as the team aims to keep him healthy, though this time he's being listed with a left ankle injury. Walter Clayton is a candidate to start at point guard in Jerome's place Wednesday.

Knueppel (back) is available for Tuesday's game against the Kings.

As expected, Knueppel will shake off his probable tag due to lower-back soreness and suit up against the injury-plagued Kings. The rookie first-rounder is coming off a lackluster shooting performance in Saturday's win over the Grizzlies and will look to bounce back Tuesday. Over 10 March appearances, he has averaged 18.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 3.2 triples in 29.9 minutes per contest.
