Devin Cannady is out after dislocating his right ankle. Terrence Ross is a doubtful starter because of back spasms. Meanwhile, Otto Porter Jr. will also be unavailable for selection due to pain in his left foot.
Memphis Grizzlies

The only other injury concern for the Memphis Grizzlies is Jaren Jackson Jr., who is recovering after sustaining a knock on his left knee.
