The Grizzlies center was downgraded from day-to-day to out on Tuesday with a head injury. He will miss Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
What happened
Quinten Post is out, according to the official injury report posted Tuesday at 6:18 PM ET. He had been listed as day-to-day with the same head issue on Monday. The report's comment says Post did not return to Monday's 118-102 win over the Raptors. He finished the night with one rebound in two minutes. The report lists an expected return of Nov. 13. Before this, Post had been cleared from an ankle and leg issue on Nov. 4. That issue had moved him between out and day-to-day several times from Oct. 31 to Nov. 3.
What it means for the Grizzlies
Memphis hosts the Nuggets on Wednesday at 8:00 PM ET. The Grizzlies are 7-3, seventh in the standings, and have won one in a row. Post, a 26-year-old center, has averaged 5.0 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.4 assists in 13.0 minutes over eight games. Memphis is 6-2 with him and 1-1 without him. In games he missed, Cameron Boozer played 32.2 minutes and Ty Jerome 30.5, with Jerome scoring 26.7 points. Zach Edey averaged 20.8 minutes at the center spot. Cam Spencer, Javon Small and Jerami Grant also filled rotation minutes.
What to watch
The next injury report will show whether Post's status changes before Wednesday's tip. The report lists an expected return of Nov. 13, but the team has not announced a date for his first game back. The Nuggets game is the only one on the schedule so far. Memphis is also short elsewhere. Richie Saunders and Scotty Pippen Jr. are out, and Isaiah Stewart is day-to-day with a knee issue.
