Prosper has appeared in four games this season, all with Memphis: 4 points against Charlotte, 2 against Chicago, 9 against Orlando and 1 against Atlanta. His minutes have ranged from 10.9 to 16.3, well below his 18.6-minute average from last season. The Grizzlies won three of those four games. He has grabbed no more than one rebound in any of them. He is not on the injury report, so the lighter workload looks like a role decision, not a health issue.
