Grizzlies' Taylor Hendricks: Logs 30 minutes in spot start
Rotowire
Hendricks totaled seven points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, two blocks and two steals over 30 minutes during Friday's 126-110 loss to Detroit.
Hendricks moved into the starting lineup for the second time in the past three games, although he was unable to repeat his heroics from the night before. However, while his offensive production was lacking in this one, he has now recorded 12 combined steals-plus-blocks in his past four games. During that time, he has been a borderline top-50 player, averaging 12.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.3 steals, 1.8 blocks and 1.8 three-pointers.

Grizzlies' Taylor Hendricks: Won't start vs. Mavs
Rotowire
Hendricks isn't in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Dallas.
Hendricks started Tuesday's game against Philly, but he'll revert to the bench Thursday with the Grizzlies choosing to see what GG Jackson can do in a starting role. Hendricks logged 26 minutes off the bench Saturday and should see plenty of playing time against Dallas given the fact that he's one of seven active Memphis players for Thursday's tilt.

Grizzlies' Taylor Hendricks: Ruled out Monday
Rotowire
Hendricks (thumb) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nets.
As expected, Hendricks will miss the front end of this back-to-back set due to right thumb soreness. His next opportunity to play will come Tuesday in Philadelphia. With the Grizzlies set to be extremely shorthanded in the frontcourt, GG Jackson, Rayan Rupert and Olivier-Maxence Prosper should all see significant minutes.

Grizzlies' Taylor Hendricks: Dealing with thumb issue
Rotowire
Hendricks is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Nets due to right thumb soreness.
Hendricks may have picked up the injury during the Grizzlies' 123-120 loss to the Clippers on Saturday, when he finished with 18 points, four rebounds, two assists, two steals, two blocks and three three-pointers over 26 minutes. There are several Memphis players listed on the injury report, so Olivier-Maxence Prosper, Rayan Rupert and GG Jackson are all in line for more minutes in Monday's road tilt.

Grizzlies' Taylor Hendricks: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Hendricks (illness) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's game versus the Clippers.
Hendricks sat out Wednesday's loss to the Trail Blazers due to an illness, but he'll be back in action Saturday, which will likely result in fewer minutes for GG Jackson. Hendricks has been inconsistent in Memphis, but he could be worth a dart throw in deep leagues if you need some points and rebounds.

Rotowire
Hendricks (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus the Trail Blazers.
Hendricks is feeling under the weather and won't be able to give it a go Wednesday, so guys like Olivier-Maxence Prosper and GG Jackson should get all the run they can handle. For now, Hendricks should be considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

Rotowire
Hendricks amassed 19 points (7-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt), five rebounds and one steal across 24 minutes during Sunday's 125-106 win over the Pacers.
Hendricks found himself bouncing around between the G League and the NBA during his time with the Jazz, but he's carving out a steady role since landing with Memphis. Over his first 10 contests with the Grizzlies (two starts), the third-year forward has averaged 10.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.1 steals in 23.6 minutes per game.

Grizzlies' Taylor Hendricks: Traded to Memphis
Rotowire
The Grizzlies acquired Hendricks from the Jazz on Tuesday in exchange for Jaren Jackson, John Konchar (neck), Jock Landale and Vince Williams, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. The Jazz also sent Walter Clayton, Kyle Anderson (illness) and Georges Niang (foot) to Memphis with three first-round picks attached.
Hendricks is a young forward with upside that the Grizzlies will now look forward to developing as they embark on a full rebuild. Hendricks was used sparingly by the Jazz as a reserve stuck behind Lauri Markkanen. Across 33 games, he averaged 4.9 points and 3.0 rebounds in 14.9 minutes per contest. With Memphis' limited frontcourt depth, Hendricks is immediately on the fantasy radar in deeper formats. He can be considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Rotowire
Hendricks finished with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 15 minutes during Friday's 109-99 loss to the Nets.
Hendricks moved back into the rotation, taking to the court for just the second time in the past six games.

Jazz's Taylor Hendricks: Pops for season-high 21
Rotowire
Hendricks finished with 21 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, one assist and three steals in 27 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 137-128 loss to the Grizzlies.
The third-year forward saw his biggest workload of the season with both Lauri Markkanen (groin) and Jusuf Nurkic (rest) missing from the Utah frontcourt, and Hendricks turned the opportunity into a new season scoring high. After losing his spot in the rotation in early November, Hendricks is fighting to regain it. Over his last six appearances, he's averaging 11.2 points, 3.3 boards, 1.8 threes, 0.7 assists and 0.7 steals in just 19.5 minutes while shooting 68.8 percent from the floor and 61.1 percent (11-for-18) from beyond the arc.

Hendricks continues to play a minimal role, having exceeded 20 minutes only twice in the past 22 games. Seen as a decent late-round flier coming into the season, Hendricks quickly found himself on the waiver wire in just about every redraft format. Through 17 appearances, he has averaged just 5.4 points and 3.4 rebounds in 14.9 minutes per contest.

The third-year forward established a new season scoring high while tying his career high in made three-pointers, as he played 20-plus minutes for only the second time in 2025-26. Hendricks has had trouble staying healthy ever since being the ninth overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, but the Jazz still have an incentive to see if he can carve out a consistent role in the rotation.
