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.

Dosunmu is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets due to right calf soreness.

Dosunmu is already filling in for the injured Anthony Edwards (knee), so his absence would vacate a spot in the starting lineup for the Timberwolves. Bones Hyland and Kyle Anderson stand out as the most likely candidates for an expanded role if Dosunmu is unable to suit up Wednesday.

Connaughton (illness) is out for Tuesday's game against the Kings.

Connaughton was added to the injury report earlier in the day due to illness, and he's since been downgraded to out. He isn't typically part of Charlotte's rotation, so his absence shouldn't have an impact on Tuesday's clash.

Nance is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Magic due to an illness.

Nance has been added to the injury report hours before tipoff, which generally isn't a promising sign. He's appeared in only two games in March and isn't typically part of the rotation, so his availability should have little impact either way.

Green (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

Green is in danger of missing his first game of the season due to a left ankle sprain. If the veteran forward is ruled out, there would be more minutes available for guys like Kevin Huerter, Caris LeVert and Ronald Holland, especially if Marcus Sasser (hip) is downgraded from doubtful to out.
