Memphis center Quinten Post was upgraded from out to day-to-day with a right ankle issue in the injury report posted early Tuesday. The Grizzlies face the Pacers on Wednesday, the same day the report lists as his expected return.
What happened
The injury report posted Tuesday at 1:08 AM ET lists Quinten Post as day-to-day with a right ankle and leg issue. He was out before that. His status has changed back and forth all week. He was day-to-day on Oct. 29, out on Oct. 31, day-to-day on Nov. 1 and out again on Nov. 2. The report's comment still reads that Post (ankle) had been downgraded to out for Monday's game against the Pelicans. The report gives an expected return of Nov. 4. It does not say how serious the injury is or what the next step is.
What it means for the Grizzlies
Memphis hosts the Pacers on Wednesday at 8:00 PM ET. The Grizzlies are 6-1, in second place, and coming off a loss. They are 5-0 with Post and 1-1 without him. He has played in 5 games this season and averages 15.1 minutes, 7.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 0.6 assists. When he sat, Cameron Boozer logged 32.1 minutes and Ty Jerome 31.0. Zach Edey played 20.0 minutes and Isaiah Stewart 19.7. Jerami Grant (24.4) and Javon Small (19.6) also saw rotation time. Post's own minutes were spread across that group.
What to watch
The next thing to watch is the injury report before Wednesday's game against the Pacers. Memphis has not announced whether Post will play, and the Nov. 4 return date is an expected date, not a confirmation. Another change in status is possible, given how often his listing has moved this week. Scotty Pippen Jr. is also day-to-day with a back and torso issue, so check his status as well.
Is Quinten Post playing vs the Pacers?
