Isaiah Stewart is listed as questionable for Monday's game at Utah because of left ankle injury management. The Grizzlies, 3-0 and on a three-game win streak, could be without a rotation big man in Salt Lake City.
What happened
Stewart appeared on the injury report Monday at 3:32 PM ET as Day-To-Day with a left ankle issue. The report's comment reads: "Stewart is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Jazz due to left ankle injury management." No previous status is attached to this entry. The ankle has been a recurring item for him this month. He was Out on Oct. 9, moved back to Day-To-Day on Oct. 20, went Out again and returned to Day-To-Day on Oct. 21, and was cleared on Friday, Oct. 23. The report lists Oct. 26 as his expected return date.
What it means for the Grizzlies
Memphis plays at the Jazz on Monday at 9:00 PM ET, carrying a 3-0 record, the No. 4 seed and a three-game win streak. Stewart has played two games and averages 8.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 19.4 minutes. The Grizzlies are 2-0 with him and 1-0 without him. In the game he missed, Zach Edey played 21.8 minutes and Quinten Post played 18.8. Jerami Grant played 24.3 minutes.

What to watch
Watch for the next injury report update ahead of Monday's 9:00 PM ET tip in Utah. Questionable means his availability is not settled until then. The report gives Oct. 26 as his expected return, which is the game date, and no longer timeline has been announced. Given how often his status has changed this month, any further move to Out would be the key development. Lopez's knee status is the other Memphis name to track on the same report.
