Quinten Post moved from out to day-to-day on Thursday's injury report with a head injury. The Grizzlies visit the Pelicans on Friday, and the report lists Nov. 13 as his expected return.
What happened
Quinten Post was upgraded from out to day-to-day on the injury report Thursday at 10:04 a.m. ET. The listing is for a head injury. The report's comment says Post (concussion) was ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets. He had gone out on Tuesday, Nov. 10, after being listed day-to-day on Monday, Nov. 9, with the same head designation. The report gives an expected return of Nov. 13. Earlier this month he was listed with a right ankle and leg issue and was cleared from day-to-day on Nov. 4.
What it means for the Grizzlies
Memphis plays at New Orleans on Friday at 8:00 p.m. ET. The Grizzlies are 7-4, ninth in the standings, and lost their last game. Post has played 8 games, averaging 13.0 minutes, 5.0 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.4 assists. Memphis is 6-2 with him and 1-2 without him. In those games without him, the minutes went to Cameron Boozer (32.3), Ty Jerome (30.7), Cedric Coward (28.3), Jaylen Wells (27.3), Zach Edey (20.7), Javon Small (19.9) and Cam Spencer (19.4). Richie Saunders and Scotty Pippen Jr. are both listed out.
What to watch
The next injury report will show whether Post's status changes before Friday's game at New Orleans. The report lists Nov. 13 as his expected return, but he remains day-to-day, so his availability is not confirmed. Memphis has not announced anything beyond the report. Watch for Post's name on the Pelicans game-day listing, and for any change to the status of Saunders and Pippen.
