P.J. Hairston: Gets waived Saturday
Hairston was waived Saturday by the Rockets, Eddie Sefko of The Dallas Morning News reports.
The former first-round pick was forced to settle for a partially-guaranteed deal from the Rockets in training camp after shooting a woeful 34.3 percent from the floor through his first two seasons, but did little to rebuild his stock in the preseason. Assuming he goes unclaimed off waivers, Hairston figures to look for an opportunity in the D-League.

Rockets' P.J. Hairston: Signs training camp deal with Rockets
Hairston signed a training camp contract Thursday with the Rockets, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports.
Hairston split the 2015-16 campaign between the Grizzlies and Hornets, but saw the majority of his action in Charlotte, where he started 43 of the 48 games and averaged 6.0 points and 2.7 rebounds over 19.5 minutes per outing. The Rockets are lacking in depth on the wing, which could enhance Hairston's case for making the roster, but he's unlikely to see meaningful playing time after a pair of uninspiring seasons to begin his career. Over 111 NBA games, Hairston has shot 34.3 percent from the field and 29.5 percent from three-point range.

Grizzlies' P.J. Hairston: Scores six points Tuesday
Hairston had six points (2-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt) and three rebounds in 24 minutes during the Grizzlies' 110-84 loss to the Clippers on Tuesday.
Hairston returned to the lineup last Friday versus the Mavericks after a groin injury forced him to miss the previous 11 games. Hairston averaged 23 minutes per game in March, and his 24 minutes on Tuesday seems to indicate he is fully recovered. Still, he is an efficient scorer without much of a track record for being useful in fantasy, and the Grizzlies close the season versus the defending champion Warriors on Wednesday.

Grizzlies' P.J. Hairston: Returns to practice Thursday
Hairston (groin) returned to practice Thursday and will be available to play Friday against the Mavericks, Ronald Tillery of the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Hairston is officially off the Grizzlies' injury report after a strained left groin held him out for 11 straight games. Although his minutes may be somewhat limited immediately upon his return, Hairston could eventually cut into the minutes of Lance Stephenson, Vince Carter, and Xavier Munford.

Grizzlies' P.J. Hairston: Nearing return, remains out Tuesday
Hairston (groin) is nearing a return, but will be held out Tuesday against the Bulls, Ronald Tillery of the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
It will be the 11th consecutive absence for Hairston, who is still working back from a strained left groin. Coach Dave Joerger said Monday that the team is expecting to have Hairston back before the end of the regular season, and they're handling his status on a game-to-game basis. As such, Hairston should be considered questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks.

Grizzlies' P.J. Hairston: Expects to return this season
Coach Dave Joerger said Monday that Hairston (groin) is expected to play again this season, Ronald Tillery of The Commercial Appeal reports.
Hairston recently started participating in individual drills but hasn't competed on the court since March 14 while dealing with a left groin strain. The Grizzlies are in line to make the playoffs, so it's possible that Hairston could still miss the remainder of the regular season while making a comeback sometime in the playoffs.

Grizzlies' P.J. Hairston: No return timetable
Hairston (groin) remains without a return timetable.
Hairston has been out since straining his groin on Mar. 14, and while he's started to increase his activity to participating in individual drills, he remains without a timetable to get back to full-contact work. Expect to see Hairston back sometime near the end of the regular season.

Grizzlies' P.J. Hairston: Out at least two weeks
Hairston (groin) is expected to miss two weeks, Ronald Tillery of the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
It's yet another hit for the Grizzlies, who now have an astounding total of nine players on their injury list heading into Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves. The league office has already granted the team three roster exemptions due to the slew of injuries, with Xavier Munford the latest D-League import to provide depth to the team's backcourt. Hairston's projected timetable puts him on track to return in early April, and with only a few games left on the Grizzlies' schedule at that point in the season, it doesn't really make sense to hold Hairston in any format.

Grizzlies' P.J. Hairston: Questionable for Wednesday
Hairston (groin) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Timberwolves' play-by-play announcer Alan Horton reports.
Hairston left Monday's game against the Rockets with a strained left groin and is now being listed as questionable heading into Wednesday's matchup with the Timberwolves. The Grizzlies are dealing with a slew of injuries, including the likes of Vince Carter (calf) and Lance Stephenson (wrist), who are also listed as questionable, which leaves them short on bodies at shooting guard and small forward. If any or all of Hairston, Carter and Stephenson are forced to sit out, it would likely mean additional minutes for Tony Allen and Matt Barnes.

Grizzlies' P.J. Hairston: Will not return Monday
Hairston will not return to Monday's matchup with the Rockets, Ross Wooden of Memphis Grizzlies Communications and Publications reports.
The injuries just keep piling up for the Grizzlies. Hairston exited the game after 18 minutes of action. He posted six points, two rebounds, and two assists in that time frame. The severity of the injury is currently unknown, so consider him day-to-day going forward. The Grizzlies next play Wednesday against the Timberwolves, so expect an update on his status prior to then.

Grizzlies' P.J. Hairston: Moves to bench Wednesday, plays 25 minutes
Hairston returned to the bench and provided three points (1-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt), three rebounds, and a steal over 25 minutes in Wednesday's 116-96 loss to the Celtics.
The Grizzlies had both Matt Barnes (hamstring) and Tony Allen (knee) healthy for the same game for the first time since Feb. 19, so both of those players claimed the two starting spots on the wing, forcing Hairston to head to the bench. Hairston still saw fairly comparable minutes to what he received while starting, but don't be surprised if he begins getting phased out in the games to come. Since a 14-point effort Feb. 29 against the Nuggets, Hairston has produced 21 points over his last five games while shooting 7-for-35 (20%) from the field and 1-for-16 (6.2%) from three-point range over that span.
