The Grizzlies are slated to sign Rupert to a 10-day contract, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Rupert was waived by the Trail Blazers on Friday, but the 2023 second-rounder will get another chance with the Grizzlies for at least the next 10 days. Before being let go by Portland, Rupert was averaging 2.9 points, 1.8 rebounds and 0.7 assists over 12.0 minutes per game. He gives Memphis depth in the backcourt but faces stiff competition for playing time off the bench.

Plumlee (reconditioning) won't play Monday in Detroit.

Plumlee has yet to play for the Spurs after inking a 10-day deal with the club on Feb. 17, but his next chance to suit up will come Wednesday in Toronto. Plumlee is not expected to have a significant role with the Spurs.

Waters (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pistons.

Waters could return to the lineup Monday after missing the last seven games due to a left knee injury. Even if he is cleared to play, he doesn't figure to see a significant role.

George (toe) is available for Sunday's game against the Hornets.

George missed the second game of a back-to-back set Friday due to a toe injury, but he will return to the lineup Sunday. Over his last five appearances, George holds averages of 10.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 21.2 minutes per contest.

Champagnie (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hornets.

With Champagnie unavailable, Alondes Williams and Jamir Watkins could see an uptick in minutes. For now, Champagnie should be considered questionable for Tuesday's game in Atlanta.

Vukcevic (hand) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hornets.

Vukcevic injured his right hand during the Wizards' 131-118 loss to the Pacers on Friday, and the issue is severe enough for him to miss Sunday's contest. Alex Sarr (hamstring) is also sidelined, so Anthony Gill figures to serve as the Wizards' starting center. Vukcevic's next chance to play is Tuesday against the Hawks.

Jones will come off the bench for Sunday's game in Indiana, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Max Christie (ankle) is back and starting after a one-game layoff, so Jones will return to the second unit. Jones' upside is muted in the reserve role, so he can only be viewed as a low-end, assist specialist in deep leagues.

Sheppard is not in the Pacers' starting lineup against the Mavericks on Sunday, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Sheppard has started in each of the Pacers' last three games and averaged 10.7 points, 3.0 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 2.0 threes and 1.3 steals over 22.0 minutes per game over that span. He will revert to a bench role for Sunday's contest due to the returns of Andrew Nembhard and Pascal Siakam.

Martin (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

Martin was able to play through a left ankle sprain against the Timberwolves on Friday and has been cleared to play in Sunday's contest. The veteran forward has averaged 7.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists over 22.2 minutes per game over his last five outings (three starts).

Gafford (ankle) is available for Sunday's game in Indiana.

Gafford was able to get through his pregame routine without issue, so he'll continue to power through the ankle issue. With Gafford active, Dwight Powell could have a tough time getting into the rotation.
