Micah Peavy is day-to-day with an ankle injury, the Memphis Grizzlies said Monday. The 25-year-old guard-forward's availability for the Oct. 5 game at the Atlanta Hawks is now in question.
What happened
The Grizzlies listed Micah Peavy as day-to-day Monday at 12:49 p.m. ET with an ankle and leg injury. He had no previous status on the injury report. General manager Zach Kleiman said Monday that Peavy recently turned his ankle and it will be "some time" before the team gets a full look at him, according to Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal. The report lists an expected return date of Oct. 5.
What it means for the Grizzlies
Peavy's next game is scheduled for Oct. 5 at the Atlanta Hawks. Last season he played 61 games for Memphis, averaging 15.0 minutes, 4.3 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.0 assist. The Grizzlies have not played a regular-season game yet this year, sitting at 0-0 with the 2026-27 season not started, so there is no record to compare with and without him. In games without him, the minutes he would otherwise take have gone to players such as Toby Okani (36.2 minutes, 10.0 points), Lucas Williamson (32.0 minutes, 10.4 points) and Rayan Rupert (30.9 minutes, 12.2 points).
What to watch
The Grizzlies are expected to issue another update on Peavy's ankle as the Oct. 5 game at the Hawks approaches. His expected return is listed as Oct. 5, the same date as that game. Kleiman's comment that it will be "some time" before the team gets a full look at him suggests the timeline could still move before then.
