John Konchar Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Grizzlies vs Timberwolves game on tomorrow with our National Basketball Association injury report.Dec 3, 2025
Season-high 13 points in defeat
Konchar finished with 13 points (5-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and three assists across 18 minutes during Tuesday's 126-119 loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Konchar scored a season-high 13 points, reaching double figures for the first time in 2025-26 altogether. The forward has averaged 3.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 12.7 minutes per contest over 20 games this season, so his fantasy appeal has been minimal thus far.
Nov 21, 2025
Limited output in win
Konchar accumulated three points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals across 20 minutes during Thursday's 137-96 win over Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Konchar remains on the edge of the rotation in Memphis, and he's still miles off the fantasy radar. Through 14 appearances, he's averaging 2.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.9 steals in 12.3 minutes per contest.
Nov 12, 2025
Limited role continues
Konchar had one rebound in three minutes during Tuesday's 133-120 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Konchar continues to play nothing more than a depth role, logging single-digit minutes for the six games, two of which he failed to see the floor at all. Despite injuries to other players, Konchar has seen no benefit, a worrying sign for what might be to come. There is no reason to have him rostered, even in deeper formats.
Oct 26, 2025
Full stat line in win
Konchar racked up nine points (4-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three steals, two assists and two blocks in 25 minutes in Saturday's 128-103 win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Konchar didn't reach double figures but contributed across the board Saturday, stuffing the stat sheet with a combined five steals and blocks. The wing totaled just 16 minutes over the Grizzlies' first two games before logging 25 in this contest. While there's little path to cracking the starting lineup with promising second-year Jaylen Wells and stalwart Jaren Jackson entrenched at forward, Konchar has flashed that he can provide valuable minutes when called upon.
Oct 18, 2025
Modest outing in preseason finale
Konchar scored five points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and added two rebounds, an assist and a block across 15 minutes in Friday's 141-125 preseason victory over Miami.
ANALYSIS
Konchar is buried in the Grizzlies' depth chart and isn't expected to have a major role to begin the regular season. He is in competition with Vince Williams, GG Jackson and Santi Aldama for minutes, but expect more clarity regarding the team's rotation in the coming days as Memphis prepares for its first regular season game against the Pelicans on Wednesday.
Apr 2, 2025
Removed from injury report
Konchar (illness) has been cleared to play Thursday against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
After missing two of the last three games due to an illness, Konchar will be available to play Thursday in Miami. The 28-year-old forward hasn't made much of an impact from a fantasy perspective, averaging 12.2 minutes per game for Memphis.
Apr 1, 2025
Ruled out against Golden State
Konchar (illness) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Konchar has been downgraded from questionable to out Tuesday due to an illness. His next chance to suit up is Thursday's matchup with Miami.
Apr 1, 2025
Iffy for Tuesday
Konchar (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Konchar has fallen out of favor in Memphis, playing a combined eight minutes in his last two appearances. His status won't have a big impact on fantasy hoops.
Mar 18, 2025
Strong line in limited run
Konchar accumulated eight points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 17 minutes during Monday's 132-122 loss to Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
The Grizzlies were shorthanded Monday, as Ja Morant (hamstring), Santi Aldama (calf) and Scotty Pippen (wrist) were all unable to go. Plus, GG Jackson was assigned to the G League on Monday. Konchar was limited to single-digit minutes in his previous three games, so fantasy managers can just keep an eye on him for now in case the Grizzlies continue to have bad luck with injuries.
Mar 7, 2025
Green light to play Friday
Konchar (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Konchar has been battling through right knee soreness that prevented him from playing against the Thunder on Wednesday, but he was able to go through pregame warmups and has done enough to be cleared to play Friday. Konchar has played seven of 14 games since the beginning of February and has averaged 1.4 points and 1.3 rebounds over 8.1 minutes per game.
Mar 6, 2025
Questionable for Friday
Konchar (knee) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
After missing Wednesday's loss to the Thunder, Konchar might miss a second straight game due to right knee soreness. Lamar Stevens and Vince Williams will likely shoulder the load in the frontcourt if the 28-year-old forward gets ruled out in Dallas.
Mar 5, 2025
Ruled out Wednesday
Konchar (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Konchar has missed four of the Grizzlies' last six games due to soreness in his right foot. Vince Williams and Lamar Stevens are candidates to see a boost in minutes against Oklahoma City.
Mar 5, 2025
Now doubtful
Konchar (knee) is unlikely to play in Wednesday's game against Oklahoma City, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar was initially termed questionable due to a sore right knee, but he's now trending toward missing Wednesday's matchup. With an unsteady spot in the back end of Memphis' rotation, Konchar's absence likely wouldn't open up many minutes. However, Vince Williams and Lamar Stevens would be the likeliest candidates to see expanded roles.
Mar 4, 2025
Iffy for Wednesday
Konchar is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to right knee soreness.
ANALYSIS
The right knee soreness is a new concern for Konchar, who hasn't missed a game due to injury since Jan. 4. The 28-year-old has played inconsistent minutes of late, appearing in only five of the club's last 10 outings due to a coach's decision.
Mar 1, 2025
Getting spot start Saturday
Konchar is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Spurs, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar hasn't played in the last four games for Memphis, but he'll get the start Saturday due to the absence of Desmond Bane (hip). This will be the fourth start of the season for Konchar, who's averaging 5.3 points, 13.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game in his previous three.
Feb 5, 2025
Available against Toronto
Konchar (shoulder) has been cleared to play Wednesday against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Konchar has missed two of the Grizzlies' last three games but will play on Wednesday in Toronto. The 26-year-old forward is averaging 2.8 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game, shooting 41.5 percent from the field this season.
Feb 4, 2025
Questionable for Wednesday
Konchar (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
The Grizzlies have added Konchar to their injury report for Wednesday while he manages right shoulder soreness. If the swingman cannot suit up against Toronto, more playing time would be available to GG Jackson and Jake LaRavia from Memphis' bench.
Jan 9, 2025
Retreats back to bench vs. HOU
Konchar will come off the bench in Thursday's game against the Rockets, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.
ANALYSIS
With Desmond Bane (ankle) returning to game action Thursday, Konchar will slide back to the bench. The 28-year-old has seen inconsistent playing time over his last 10 appearances (three starts), during which he has averaged 3.8 points and 6.3 rebounds across 17.8 minutes per contest.
Jan 6, 2025
Returning to starting lineup
Konchar is starting Monday's game against the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar will get a chance with the first unit as the Grizzlies continue to contend with the injury bug. Konchar, Luke Kennard and Jake LaRavia could all see more run than usual given Desmond Bane's (ankle) absence Monday.
Jan 5, 2025
Will play Monday
Konchar (shoulder) is off the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar missed Saturday's contest against the Warriors due to left shoulder soreness, but he will return to the lineup Monday. Konchar could be hoisted into a bigger role in his return due to the plethora of injuries the team is dealing with.
Jan 4, 2025
Not playing Saturday vs. Warriors
Konchar (shoulder) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against Golden State, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar is nursing a sore left shoulder, which will cause him to be sidelined for Saturday's game. His next opportunity to play will be Monday against the Mavericks. Scotty Pippen and Cam Spencer are in line for more playing time due to Konchar's absence.
Jan 4, 2025
Questionable for Saturday
Konchar (shoulder) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
After returning to the bench against the Kings on Friday, Konchar struggled in 15 minutes on the floor. He failed to score and finished with only four rebounds. Memphis is dealing with several injuries to key players, which could result in a rough outing for the Grizzlies on Saturday against Golden State.
Jan 3, 2025
Shifts to second unit
Konchar is coming off the bench in Friday's game against the Kings, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
After starting Memphis' past two games, Konchar will cede his spot in the first unit to the returning Brandon Clarke (calf) on Friday. Konchar has averaged 2.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 12.0 minutes over 17 games off the bench this season, so his streaming value appears to have evaporated.
Jan 1, 2025
Pulls down 12 rebounds
Konchar amassed seven points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 117-112 victory over Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Konchar recorded double-digit rebounds for the second time this season after grabbing 15 boards Sunday against the Thunder. Konchar finds himself on the streaming radar with the Grizzlies dealing with several key injuries in the frontcourt. Over his past two outings, Konchar posted averages of 5.5 points, 13.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.5 blocks and 2.0 steals.
Dec 30, 2024
Pulls down 15 rebounds
Konchar ended Sunday's 130-106 loss to the Thunder with four points (2-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt), 15 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals in 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Konchar made his first start of the season Sunday and made a huge impact on the glass by grabbing 15 rebounds. He didn't do much as a scorer, but fantasy managers in category-based leagues should be happy with his all-around contributions. The Grizzlies are a bit thin in terms of frontcourt depth, so don't rule out the possibility of Konchar seeing an uptick in minutes in the upcoming games.
Dec 29, 2024
Starting against Oklahoma CIty
Konchar will start Sunday's game against the Thunder, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar has seen a relatively limited role of late, but he will enter the starting five for the first time this season due to numerous players being out of the lineup. In four games this season with 20-plus minutes logged Konchar has averaged 4.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 21.8 minutes per contest.
Dec 27, 2024
Muted role continues
Konchar ended Friday's 132-124 victory over the Pelicans with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over six minutes.
ANALYSIS
Konchar played just six minutes, logging fewer than 20 minutes for the fifth straight game. It's been an underwhelming season for Konchar, sliding in and out of the rotation, seemingly on a nightly basis. In 17 games played, he is averaging 2.8 points and 2.8 rebounds in 12.0 minutes per game.
Nov 22, 2024
Good to go against Chicago
Konchar (illness) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game versus the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Konchar will return to action Saturday after missing Memphis' previous contest due to an illness. With Memphis dealing with a multitude of injuries, Konchar could receive increased playing time against Chicago.
Nov 20, 2024
No-go Wednesday
Konchar (illness) won't play in Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Konchar won't suit up for Wednesday's matchup with Philadelphia. The veteran wing will join Marcus Smart (illness) and Vince Williams (ankle) on the sideline, leaving plenty of work for Luke Kennard, Jaylen Wells and Santi Aldama. Konchar's next chance to play will come Saturday at Chicago.
Nov 20, 2024
Doubtful for Wednesday
Konchar (illness) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Konchar has a minimal role with the Grizzlies, but his expected unavailability is unfortunate for the team with so many injuries on the wings. Luke Kennard and Jake LaRavia will likely have to log extended minutes Wednesday.
Nov 20, 2024
Fails to score Tuesday
Konchar totaled zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and two steals across 11 minutes during Tuesday's 122-110 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Konchar failed to score for the third straight game, continuing his underwhelming start to the season. Despite the fact the Grizzlies are once again dealing with multiple injuries, Konchar has failed to make the most of his opportunities. To this point, he is averaging just 2.4 points and 3.5 rebounds in 15.3 minutes per game.
Nov 9, 2024
Brings defense, little else Friday
Konchar (quadricep) played 20 minutes off the bench and finished with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two assists, two rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 20 minutes in Friday's 128-104 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
The banged-up Grizzlies received some rare good news on the health front with the return of Konchar, who had missed the previous four games with a right quad contusion. With six other Memphis players sidelined due to injuries, Konchar ended up seeing a healthy minutes total in his return, but aside from providing some help in the defensive categories, his stat line was mostly empty. He'll likely continue to hold down a spot in the Grizzlies' wing rotation but could end up seeing his playing time get reduced once the likes of Ja Morant (hip), Marcus Smart (ankle), Desmond Bane (oblique) and Vince Williams (tibia) are cleared to suit up again.
Nov 8, 2024
Available vs. Washington
Konchar (quadriceps) is available for Friday's game against the Wizards, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar has been dealing with a right quad contusion, but he'll snap a four-game absence and should see minutes off the bench in this one. That said, his fantasy appeal won't be very high due to his reduced role. Through three regular-season appearances this year, the 28-year-old has averaged 5.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks across 19.0 minutes per game while shooting 66.7 percent from the field.
Nov 7, 2024
Deemed questionable for Friday
Konchar (quad) is questionable for Friday's matchup against Washington.
ANALYSIS
Konchar is in jeopardy of missing his fifth consecutive game due to a right quad contusion.

Nov 6, 2024
Downgraded to out

Nov 5, 2024
Unlikely to play Wednesday
Konchar (quadriceps) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game versus the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Konchar is expected to miss his fourth straight contest Wednesday while dealing with a right quadriceps contusion. Until Konchar is able to return to action, Scotty Pippen and Jaylen Wells will likely continue to receive increased playing time.
Nov 4, 2024
Not playing Monday
Konchar (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Monday will be the third straight game Konchar has been sidelined due to a right quadriceps contusion, and his next chance at playing will be Wednesday at home against the Lakers. Scotty Pippen and Jaylen Wells should continue to see increased roles and playing time while Konchar is sidelined.
Nov 3, 2024
Unlikely to play Monday
Konchar (quadriceps) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Konchar will likey miss a third straight game due to a right quadriceps contusion. With Marcus Smart (ankle), Desmond Bane (oblique), and Luke Kennard (foot) also out, Scotty Pippen and Jaylen Wells have handled increased roles recently.
Nov 2, 2024

ANALYSIS
Konchar is expected to miss his second straight contest Saturday due to a right quadriceps contusion. With Memphis dealing with numerous injuries in its backcourt, Scotty Pippen and Yuki Kawamura should receive increased playing time.
Oct 31, 2024
Officially out
Konchar (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Konchar didn't appear to be trending in the right direction ahead of tipoff, so this update was somewhat expected. His next chance to run the floor will arrive Saturday in Philly.
Oct 31, 2024
Trending toward sitting
Konchar (quadriceps) is unlikely to play Thursday night against the Bucks, Chris Herrington of The Daily Memphian reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar remains officially questionable on the team's injury report due to a right bruised quad, but head coach Taylor Jenkins stated 90 minutes before tipoff that the guard is unlikely to suit up. Look for Scotty Pippen and Yuki Kawamura to get more run than usual if Konchar is officially ruled out.
Oct 31, 2024
Iffy against Milwaukee
Konchar is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Bucks due to a right quadriceps contusion.
ANALYSIS
Konchar had previously been dealing with right foot soreness but now appears to be ailed by a quadriceps injury. With Marcus Smart (ankle), Desmond Bane (oblique), Luke Kennard (foot) and Vince Williams (lower leg) all out, Memphis could be left very thin in their backcourt.
Oct 30, 2024
Active Wednesday
Konchar (foot) will play Wednesday versus Brooklyn, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar's workload could be monitored in the front half of a back-to-back set for Memphis, but he will return to the rotation following a two-game absence due to right foot soreness. Ja Morant (thigh) has also been cleared to join him in the Grizzlies' backcourt.
Oct 29, 2024
Questionable for Wednesday

Konchar (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Bulls, Chris Herrington of The Daily Memphian reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar will miss a second straight game due to a foot injury he likely sustained during the Grizzlies' loss to the Rockets on Friday. His next chance at suiting up will be against the Nets on Wednesday. In Konchar's absence Monday, Scotty Pippen, Jake LaRavia and Brandon Clarke are all candidates to see increased minutes off the bench.
Oct 27, 2024
Iffy for Monday
Konchar (foot) is questionable for Monday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Konchar missed Saturday's game against the Magic due to a foot injury that now has his status for Monday up in the air. If he ultimately misses a second straight game, Scotty Pippen and Jake LaRavia will likely maintain an expanded role.
Oct 26, 2024
Won't feature Saturday
Konchar (foot) is out for Saturday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Konchar likely suffered his injury in Friday's game loss to Houston, and the foot soreness will prevent him from playing in the second half of this back-to-back set. The injury is not expected to be a long-term issue, though, and his next chance to play will come against the Bulls on Monday. Scotty Pippen, Jaylen Wells and Jake LaRavia are candidates to receive increased playing time with Konchar out.
Oct 26, 2024
Unlikely to play against Orlando

Oct 10, 2024
Gets chance with starters
Konchar is starting Thursday's preseason game against the Hornets, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar will step into the starting five due as the Grizzlies are already dealing with a handful of injuries to key players. He should be prepared to log plenty of minutes with Ja Morant (ankle), Jaren Jackson (hamstring), Vince Williams (lower leg) and Brandon Clarke (knee) all ruled out.
Oct 3, 2024
Expected to see increased run
Konchar (heel) is expected to receive increased playing time early in the season with Vince Williams (lower leg) and GG Jackson (foot) dealing with injuries, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar averaged 4.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 21.3 minutes across 55 appearances, including 23 starts, in 2023-24 due to Memphis dealing with a multitude of injuries. With Jackson already expected to miss at least three months after undergoing foot surgery, Konchar should be in store for more minutes than initially expected in Memphis' forward rotation.
Apr 13, 2024
Sitting out Sunday
Konchar (heel) will not play Sunday against Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Konchar ended up missing 10 games in a row to close out the season. He was a sporadic part of the rotation this campaign, finishing with averages of 4.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.9 blocks and 0.9 steals.

Won't play Tuesday
Konchar (heel) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against San Antonio.
ANALYSIS

Apr 6, 2024

Mar 22, 2024
Good to go
Konchar (heel) is available for Friday's matchup with the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Konchar originally drew a questionable tag, but he is feeling good enough to go after testing things out pregame. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual workload at shooting guard. The 28-year-old has averaged 6.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.0 triples across 31.8 minutes in his previous five games.

Mar 16, 2024
Joins second unit
Konchar will come off the bench for Saturday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
The Grizzlies will be getting Desmond Bane (ankle) back in the lineup Saturday, so this is an expected move. Memphis' rotations will likely continue to be volatile going forward, making Konchar hard to trust in most formats.
Mar 14, 2024
Nears double-double in loss
Konchar contributed 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt), nine rebounds, four assists and three steals over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 110-98 loss to the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Konchar led all players in Wednesday's contest in rebounds while tallying a team-high-tying trio of steals and ending as one of five Grizzlies with a double-digit point total over a performance that was one board short of a double-double. Konchar set a new season high in scoring, posting his third game of 10 or more points. He has now hauled in nine or more boards in seven games, including in two straight contests.
Mar 12, 2024
Will play Tuesday
Konchar (ankle) will play in Tuesday's game against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Konchar and Jordan Goodwin (Achilles) were both carrying questionable tags into Tuesday, but they each have the green light to play with no mention of restrictions. However, Lamar Stevens (groin) and Scotty Pippen (back) will both be sidelined Tuesday.
Mar 11, 2024
Iffy for Tuesday
Konchar (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Konchar was listed as doubtful ahead of Tunsday's loss to the Thunder before being downgraded to out, so it appears he's at least made some progress since then. If Konchar remains out, DeJon Jarreau could see increased playing time again.
Mar 10, 2024
Out Sunday
Konchar (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Konchar has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will join a long list of inactive Grizzlies. Given all the absences, recently-acquired DeJon Jarreau may crack the rotation versus Oklahoma City.
Mar 9, 2024
Doubtful to face OKC
Konchar is doubtful to play Sunday against the Thunder due to right ankle soreness.
ANALYSIS
Konchar has struggled with injuries from time to time, an issue that has caused him to miss 16 games already, and he seems in danger of adding another one to that list. If Konchar can't play Sunday, then the already-depleted Grizzlies would hand more minutes to Vince Williams, DeJon Jarreau and possibly Jake LaRavia.
Mar 5, 2024
Contributes across board
Konchar chipped in nine points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Monday's 106-102 win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Jordan Goodwin was inactive for the Grizzlies, and the rotations in Memphis continue to be unpredictable. Konchar has been in and out of the lineup with various injuries, but his ability to contribute across the board gives him plenty of streaming appeal when the minutes are there.
Mar 4, 2024
Starting vs. Brooklyn
Konchar will start Monday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Konchar was cleared to return in a bench role for Saturday's contest against Portland, and he'll now get a chance with the first unit for Monday's clash. His last start dates back to Feb. 14 against the Rockets when he finished with eight points, three rebounds, two assists, one steal and two blocks in 20 minutes.
Mar 2, 2024
Available to play Saturday
Konchar (thumb) is available to face the Trail Blazers on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Konchar was deemed as "expected to play" earlier on Saturday, so having him available is not really surprising. Considering how depleted the Grizzlies are due to injuries, expect Konchar to slot right back into the starting unit. He's been part of the first unit in 13 of his last 14 appearances.
Mar 2, 2024
Listed as questionable
The Grizzlies have listed Konchar (thumb) as questionable for Saturday's tilt with the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Konchar has been sidelined for Memphis' previous three games and is in danger of missing a fourth due to a left thumb sprain. He had been listed as doubtful going into the team's previous two contests, so his questionable tag Saturday indicates he is trending in the right direction. His final status is not likely to be determined until closer to tipoff. Jordan Goodwin and Ziaire Williams are candidates to continue seeing increased run should Konchar not get the green light.
Mar 1, 2024
Will not play Friday
Konchar (thumb) will not play in Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
No surprise here, as Konchar was considered doubtful prior to this update. With Luke Kennard (illness) also out, G.G. Jackson will likely see all the minutes he can handle.
Feb 29, 2024
Doubtful for Friday
Konchar (thumb) is doubtful to play Friday versus Portland.
ANALYSIS
Konchar is slated to sit out his third straight game due to his left thumb sprain, which should continue to result in more minutes for GG Jackson and Ziaire Williams. Konchar belongs on the waiver wire in most leagues.
Feb 28, 2024
Ruled out against Minnesota
Konchar (thumb) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Konchar will miss his second consecutive game Wednesday due to a left thumb sprain. His next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Portland.
Feb 27, 2024
Unlikely to play Wednesday
Konchar (thumb) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Konchar is expected to miss his second straight contest Wednesday due to a left thumb sprain. With Luke Kennard (illness) also out, Derrick Rose and Jordan Goodwin should receive extended playing time in the backcourt.
Feb 25, 2024
Ruled out for Monday
Konchar has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nets due to a left thumb sprain.
ANALYSIS
Konchar hurt his thumb during Friday's loss to the Clippers and will be forced to miss at least one game after being diagnosed with a sprain. Luke Kennard and Jordan Goodwin are candidates to see increased roles against Brooklyn.
Feb 24, 2024
Hurts thumb Friday
Konchar exited with 4:18 remaining in the fourth quarter of Friday's 101-95 loss to the Clippers due to left thumb soreness and didn't return. He finished with seven points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block across 21 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Konchar had missed the Grizzlies' final game before the All-Star break Feb. 15 against the Bucks due to a quadricep contusion, but it was a different injury that forced his early exit Friday. The fifth-year wing turned in a solid all-around line before departing the contest, paying dividends in particular for those who streamed him for steals.
Feb 22, 2024
Not listed on injury report
Konchar (quad) is not listed on the injury report for Friday's tilt against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Konchar will return from a one-game absence, and he could be viewed as a low-end option for some boards and blocks in deep leagues. Ziaire Williams could be headed for the second unit with Konchar back in action.
Feb 15, 2024
Officially ruled out
Konchar (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bucks, Jonah Dylan of the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar was doubtful for Thursday's matchup due to a quadriceps contusion, so his status isn't particularly surprising. He'll have over a week to rest during the All-Star break before the Grizzlies face the Clippers on Feb. 23.
Feb 15, 2024
Unlikely to play Thursday
Konchar is doubtful for Friday's game versus the Bucks due to a quadriceps contusion.
ANALYSIS
Konchar played 20 minutes Wednesday night against Houston but will likely miss the second leg of Memphis's back-to-back Thursday. Konchar has started in the Grizzlies' last five outings, so Jordan Goodwin and Ziaire Williams will likely be relied upon to play extended minutes in his potential absence.
Feb 11, 2024
Top rebounder in near double-double
Konchar ended with eight points (4-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and four steals in 35 minutes during Saturday's 115-106 loss to the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Konchar led all players in Saturday's contest in rebounds and steals while ending two points shy of a double-double in an impressive performance in the paint for Memphis. Konchar has hauled in 10 or more rebounds in four games this season while setting a new season high in steals in the defeat.
Feb 6, 2024
Will play Tuesday
Konchar (wrist) is active for Tuesday's game against New York.
ANALYSIS
Konchar has been cleared for action alongside Santi Aldama, Derrick Rose and Vince Williams, while Jaren Jackson (hip) and Xavier Tillman (knee) have been ruled out. Konchar brings a two-way stabilizing presence to the Grizzlies' ballhandling rotation.
Feb 5, 2024
Listed as questionable
Konchar (calf) is questionable for Tuesday's game against New York.
ANALYSIS
Konchar has missed two of the last four games due to a calf injury, and his status for Tuesday's contest is up in the air. If the 27-year-old is able to suit up, he should see ample playing time since the Grizzlies remain shorthanded.
Feb 4, 2024
Out Sunday
Konchar (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Konchar, along with the majority of Memphis' regulars, will be sidelined Sunday. His next chance to suit up will come Tuesday in New York. In Konchar's absence, GG Jackson, Jacob Gilyard and David Roddy are candidates for increased playing time.
Feb 3, 2024
Nursing bruised calf
Konchar is questionable for Sunday's game against the Celtics due to a right calf contusion.
ANALYSIS
This is a new injury for Konchar, who was previously dealing with a left ankle injury leading up to Thursday's contest. He'll likely need to make it through morning shootaround and pregame warmups to get the green light for Sunday night.
Feb 3, 2024
Records season-best rebound total
Konchar amassed three points (1-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 12 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Friday's 121-101 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Konchar missed Memphis' previous contest due to an ankle injury, but he was able to suit up Friday and returned to the starting lineup. The fifth-year guard had a poor shooting night, but he partly made up for that by crashing the boards, leading the team with a season-high 12 rebounds. Konchar has grabbed double-digit boards in three games this season, but he's averaged just 4.7 points in those performances, highlighting the primary reason why he's on the waiver wire in most fantasy leagues.
Feb 1, 2024
Will play Thursday
Konchar (ankle) is available to face the Cavaliers on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Konchar was always trending in the right direction following his one-game absence, as he was initially deemed questionable, then upgraded to probable, and ultimately, he's been listed as available. Given the injury crisis affecting Memphis, it wouldn't be surprising if Konchar ends up being in the starting lineup to face Cleveland -- such has been the case in each of Memphis' last six games before he missed the Monday matchup against the Kings.
Feb 1, 2024
Probable for Thursday
Konchar (ankle) is expected to be available for Thursday's game against the Cavs, Memphis beat reporter, Sharon Brown, reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar appears to be on track to return from a one-game absence Thursday evening, which may result in Scottie Pippen Jr. returning to the second unit. Check back closer to tip-off for official word on Konchar's status.
Jan 31, 2024
Questionable for Thursday
Konchar (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Konchar was unavailable Monday against the Kings due to a left ankle sprain, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to return following a few days to rest. If he sits out once again Thursday, Jacob Gilyard and Scotty Pippen could continue to see increased run for Memphis.
Jan 29, 2024
Won't play Monday
Konchar (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Konchar will miss his first game since Jan. 15 due to a left ankle sprain. He had been operating as the Grizzlies' makeshift point guard amid an injury riddled stretch, but those duties will shift to Jacob Gilyard and Scotty Pippen on Monday -- who represent the only healthy guards on the roster.
Jan 29, 2024
Unlikely to play Monday
Konchar is doubtful for Monday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Konchar was emerging as a key rotational piece for a depleted Memphis squad, averaging 6.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.0 blocks and 0.8 steals in 28.2 minutes over his last six appearances (all starts). However, it looks like he'll join a long list of inactive Grizzlies on Monday, so David Roddy, Jacob Gilyard, Scotty Pippen and GG Jackson are all candidates for increased roles versus Sacramento.
Jan 27, 2024
Intriguing performance Friday
Konchar registered seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound, two assists, two blocks and three steals across 26 minutes during Friday's 107-106 victory over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Konchar played at least 26 minutes for the fifth consecutive game, delivering across a range of categories. Despite only scoring double-digits once in the past five games, he has added 23 rebounds, 16 assists and 15 combined steals and blocks. He is by no means a must-roster player but in his current role, he can be considered if points are not essential for your team.
Jan 24, 2024
Notches first double-double of year
Konchar provided 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 105-96 win over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
In his fourth straight game as a starter, Konchar registered his first double-double of the season, with his last coming Nov. 18, 2023 against the Thunder. He's capable to contributing from time to time, and with Memphis missing Marcus Smart (finger), Desmond Bane (ankle) and Ja Morant (shoulder) for a significant amount of time, Konchar should see sustained playing time for the near future.
Jan 23, 2024
Five rejections in Monday's win
Konchar contributed six points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, four assists and five blocks across 28 minutes during Monday's 108-100 victory over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old guard made a surprising defensive impact as he started his third straight game. Konchar has been pressed into a significant role with Ja Morant (shoulder), Marcus Smart (finger) and Desmond Bane (ankle) all in street clothes, but his per-36 numbers during his career don't suggest that he can be a consistent contributor in blocks, and his lack of scoring limits his fantasy utility even when he does see big minutes.
Jan 18, 2024
Joins starting lineup
Konchar will join the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The Grizzlies will use their 23rd different lineup of the season. With Konchar joining the first unit, Ziaire Williams will be bumped to the bench. Konchar has two starts under his belt this campaign with averages of 3.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.0 steals.
Jan 10, 2024
Plays 25 minutes
Konchar finished Tuesday's 120-103 victory over the Mavericks with four points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block over 25 minutes.
ANALYSIS
With multiple key contributors out, Konchar played at least 25 minutes for just the sixth time this season. Even when Konchar's held a consistent role, he's struggled to maintain fantasy relevancy, so Ja Morant's season-ending shoulder injury shouldn't make Konchar a must-roster player in standard formats.
Dec 31, 2023
Available against Kings
Konchar (illness) will be available versus the Kings on Sunday, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar is back from a one-game absence, as he was a late scratch against the Clippers on Friday. With the Grizzlies getting both Luke Kennard and Derrick Rose back in action Sunday, Konchar's competition for minutes just got a lot tougher.
Dec 30, 2023
Questionable to play
Konchar (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Konchar was a late scratch for Friday's game versus the Clippers, and he remains day-to-day ahead of Sunday's contest. Luke Kennard (knee) and Derrick Rose (hamstring) are also questionable for Memphis, so suddenly there is about to be a lot more competition for playing time.
Dec 29, 2023
Late scratch Friday
Konchar is a late scratch for Friday's game against the Clippers due to an illness.
ANALYSIS
The Grizzlies will be close to full strength Friday, as Ja Morant is back from his illness. But with Konchar sidelined, we could see Vince Williams pick up more minutes. Konchar is averaging 17.3 minutes per game in December.
Dec 29, 2023
Logs 10 points in return
Konchar registered 10 points (4-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 25 minutes during Thursday's 142-105 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Konchar missed Tuesday's game against the Pelicans due to an illness, but he returned to action Thursday and played at least 25 minutes for the fifth time this year during the blowout loss. The 27-year-old made the most of his role, scoring in double figures for the first time during the 2023-24 campaign while also contributing on the boards. Although he flashed some promise Thursday, Konchar has been an unreliable fantasy option in recent weeks.
Dec 27, 2023
Cleared to face Nuggets
Konchar (illness) will play Thursday at Denver.
ANALYSIS
Konchar will return from a one-game absence due to illness for Thursday's tilt. With the Grizzlies already down Derrick Rose (hamstring) and Luke Kennard (knee) while Ja Morant (illness) is questionable, Konchar could be thrust into a significantly larger role Thursday.
Dec 26, 2023
Ruled out Tuesday
Konchar (illness) will not play in Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Konchar will be day-to-day going forward with his next chance to play coming on Thursday against Denver. He'll have a tougher time earning minutes going forward with Marcus Smart returning from his ankle injury Tuesday.
Dec 26, 2023
Questionable for Tuesday
Konchar (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Marcus Smart (ankle) is also questionable for the Grizzlies, and his return would make it more difficult for Konchar to see consistent minutes. Konchar has had a limited role in December so far, averaging 16.5 minutes per contest.
Dec 25, 2023
Not listed on injury report
Konchar (thumb) isn't listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Konchar left Saturday's win over Atlanta because of a thumb injury, but the issue won't prevent him from suiting up Tuesday. Over his last four appearances, Konchar has averaged 4.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 blocks in 18.3 minutes per game.
Dec 23, 2023
Will not return
Konchar will not return to Saturday's game against Atlanta due to a left thumb injury. He finished with five points, five rebounds, two assists and one three-pointer in 13 minutes.
ANALYSIS
There aren't many details in regard to the severity yet, but Konchar should be considered questionable for Tuesday against the Pelicans. Marcus Smart (ankle) is expected to return for that game, so Konchar's minutes could be sporadic going forward for that reason.
Dec 20, 2023
Fails to score in 22 minutes
Konchar finished Tuesday's 115-113 victory over the Pelicans with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and eight rebounds over 22 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Konchar grabbed eight boards during his 22 minutes of playing time. That's where the good news ends, as he failed to record anything outside of the rebound column. As the Grizzlies begin to get their key pieces back on the floor, Konchar is likely to see his role reduce. He has not been a fantasy-relevant asset to this point, meaning there is no reason to think anything will change moving forward.
Nov 23, 2023
Grabs team-high 11 boards
Konchar totaled zero points (0-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt), 11 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 111-91 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
After back-to-back starts, Konchar moved back to the bench in favor of Jacob Gilyard. However, Konchar actually played more minutes as a reserve Wednesday than he did in each of his previous two games as a starter. Konchar struggled mightily from the field versus Houston, but he was active elsewhere, notching season highs in rebounds and blocks.
Nov 22, 2023
Returns to benhc
Konchar isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of TheDreamShake.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar will be replaced by Jacob Gilyard in the starting lineup Wednesday. Konchar is averaging 3.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 18.0 minutes across her previous eight appearances coming off the bench this season.
Nov 18, 2023
Draws start sans Smart
Konchar will start Saturday's contest against San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Konchar joins the Grizzlies' starting lineup with Marcus Smart (ankle) out. Smart is set for a multi-week absence, creating an opportunity for Konchar to capitalize on a central role. Ziaire Williams and David Roddy are candidates to step up as well.
Nov 15, 2023
Solid showing in loss
Konchar posted six points (2-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt), six assists, three rebounds and a steal in Tuesday's 134-107 blowout loss against Los Angeles.
ANALYSIS
Tuesday night was Konchar's sixth game where he saw at least 18 minutes of play, and thus far in November, he has averaged 4.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.6 steals as well as a remarkable 50 percent from three (10 attempts). With Ja Morant still serving his suspension, and the respective statuses of Marcus Smart (ankle) and Derrick Rose (knee) in the air, it appears that the 27-year-old will see more playing time for at least the next few upcoming matches.
Nov 10, 2023
Good to go Friday
Konchar (hip) is available for Friday's game versus Utah, Chris Herrington of The Daily Memphian reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday after missing the previous two games with a strained right hip. With Ziaire Williams (hip) out, Konchar will likely receive extended playing time.
Nov 9, 2023
Questionable Friday
Konchar (hip) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Konchar has missed the past two games with a strained right hip. Memphis is sporting an extensive injury report, so Konchar's availability would be a significant boost. In his 20.0 minutes per game, he's averaging 3.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 blocks.
Nov 8, 2023
Officially ruled out
Konchar (hip) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Konchar will miss his second straight game Wednesday after being downgraded from doubtful to out with a right hip strain. His next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with the Jazz.
Nov 7, 2023
Doubtful for Wednesday
Konchar (hip) is officially doubtful for Wednesday's game against Miami.
ANALYSIS
Konchar is on track to miss his second consecutive game. If he's officially ruled out Wednesday, Friday against Dallas would be his next opportunity.
Nov 4, 2023
Out against Portland
Konchar is out for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers due to a right hip strain.
ANALYSIS
Konchar joins a lengthy list of absentees for a Grizzlies team that has struggled badly in the early stages of the season. His next chance to feature will come against the Heat next Wednesday.
Nov 2, 2023
Racks up seven boards
Konchar produced seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), seven rebounds and two assists over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 133-109 loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Konchar didn't appear in the Grizzlies' regular-season opener but has had relatively consistent playing time off the bench over the last four matchups. He generated modest production Wednesday and is now averaging 4.3 points and 6.5 rebounds in 22.3 minutes per game this season.
Oct 24, 2023
Active Wednesday
Konchar (personal) is active for Wednesday's opener against New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
Konchar was away from the Grizzlies for the majority of preseason while he attended to personal matters, but he is off the injury report for Wednesday's regular-season opener. He brings a much-needed presence at the forward position with Steven Adams (knee) and Santi Aldama (ankle) banged up.
Oct 20, 2023
Still out
Konchar (personal) will not play in Friday's preseason game against the Bucks, Damichael Cole of Memphis News reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar has been away from the Grizzlies since Oct. 17, putting his status for Opening Night on Oct. 25 in jeopardy. Once he returns to Memphis, Konchar will have a decent shot at earning a sizable role with the second unit.
Oct 17, 2023
Amid personal absence
Konchar has been away from Memphis for personal reasons, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar hasn't appeared in any preseason contests. Details are scarce on his situation and eventual return, which puts his availability for Friday's preseason finale against Milwaukee in doubt.
Apr 16, 2023
Will come off bench
Konchar will return to the second unit for Sunday's Game 1 matchup with the Lakers, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar received a spot start in Memphis' final regular-season game, as the Grizzlies rested most of their main guys, but Konchar will return to his usual reserve role Sunday. He'll likely be relegated to minutes in the teens, so he's not an enticing target in daily fantasy leagues.
Apr 9, 2023
Starting Sunday
Konchar will move into the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Thunder, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar should get some quality run Sunday with Memphis resting their main guys, making him an intriguing streamer option. Through 19 starts this season, Konchar has registered averages of 8.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.3 triples, 1.2 steals and just 0.8 turnovers per game on 45 percent shooting.
Apr 6, 2023
Efficient from field in loss
Konchar finished Wednesday's 138-131 overtime loss to the Pelicans with 10 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 22 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Konchar only logged 22 minutes off the bench, but he made the most of that playing time and finished with his first double-digit scoring outing since Jan. 1. That was an anomaly, though, and Konchar is expected to continue holding a minimal role off the bench going forward.
Apr 2, 2023
Good to go Sunday
Konchar (hip) will play in Sunday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Konchar has missed a pair of games due to soreness in his left hip but will be available for Sunday's tilt. He should be expected to return to his usual bench role of around 15 minutes.
Apr 1, 2023
Questionable Sunday
Konchar (hip) is questionable for Sunday's matchup at Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Konchar has missed the past two games with left hip soreness. He's a consistent part of Memphis' rotation but hasn't scored more than three points since March 9.
Mar 31, 2023
Ruled out Friday
Konchar (hip) will not play Friday against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Konchar will sit out for a second straight contest. Luke Kennard has had the hot hand for Memphis and will likely continue to play a big role for the Grizzlies with his three-point prowess.
Mar 31, 2023
Back on injury report
Konchar is questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Konchar missed Wednesday's game with a hip injury but was initially left off the injury report for Friday's matchup. However, he's back on the report again and is in danger of missing a second straight game. If he's sidelined, David Roddy and Luke Kennard would be candidates for a few extra minutes.
Mar 30, 2023
Cleared for Friday
Konchar (hip) will play during Friday's game versus the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
A handful of Grizzlies players rested during Wednesday's loss to the Clippers, but they'll return, along with Konchar, for Friday's rematch. Konchar has been a steady part of the rotation all season but isn't known for his scoring, last reaching double figures on New Year's Day. Since then, he's averaged 2.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 15.7 minutes.
Mar 29, 2023
Won't play Wednesday
Konchar (hip) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Konchar has been downgraded from questionable to out Wednesday with left hip soreness. His next chance to suit up is Friday's rematch with the Clippers.
Mar 29, 2023
Iffy against Clippers
Konchar is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Clippers due to left hip soreness.
ANALYSIS
Konchar is in danger of missing his first game since Feb. 1 on Wednesday. His potential absence could result in increased minutes for Luke Kennard and David Roddy.
Mar 21, 2023
Grabs seven boards in win
Konchar produced three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 18 minutes during Monday's 112-108 victory over Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Memphis outrebounded Dallas by 13 boards Monday, and Konchar did his part to contribute by grabbing seven rebounds in just 18 minutes. He didn't do much else, but this was still one of his better games in recent memory. Konchar hasn't posted double-digit scoring in a game since Jan. 1, and he's averaging just 1.2 points over 16.2 minutes across his past six contests.
Mar 10, 2023
Modest production Thursday
Konchar logged eight points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists in 22 minutes during Thursday's 131-110 victory over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Konchar continues to play meaningful minutes, logging at least 20 minutes for the third straight game. While he was able to impact the game from a reality standpoint, his tangible production continues to fade in comparison. A consistent role appears to be his, for now, making him a player to consider in deeper formats.
Feb 13, 2023
Loses minutes to Kennard
Konchar finished with three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) in five minutes in Sunday's 119-109 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Konchar kept his spot in the Grizzlies' rotation, but he saw a steep reduction in playing time from the 27 minutes he played two days earlier while head coach Taylor Jenkins deployed trade-deadline pickup Luke Kennard (22 minutes) as the team's top wing off the bench. The split in playing time between Kennard and Konchar may not be quite as extreme in the games to come, but Konchar's already modest role still looks as though will shrink in the wake of the trade deadline.
Feb 2, 2023
Set to play Thursday
Konchar (concussion) was left off the injury report for Thursday's game versus the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Konchar will make his return from a four-game injury after being cleared from concussion protocols. He is averaging 6.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 23.2 minutes across 43 contests this season.
Feb 1, 2023
Officially ruled out
Konchar (concussion) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Konchar has been downgraded from questionable to out Wednesday, despite clearing concussion protocols. However, this was just due to precautionary reasons, and he will likely have the opportunity to play in Thursday's contest against Cleveland.
Feb 1, 2023
Unlikely to play Wednesday
Konchar has cleared concussion protocols but is likely out for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers due to precautionary reasons, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar is expected to miss his fourth consecutive game Wednesday due to a concussion. However, now that he has cleared protocols, he will have a chance to play in Thursday's matchup with Cleveland. Konchar is averaging 0.4 points and 2.4 rebounds in 10.0 minutes across his last five appearances.
Jan 31, 2023
Questionable against Portland
Konchar (concussion) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Konchar is questionable to miss his fourth straight game as he remains in concussion protocols. If he's ruled out Wednesday, his next chance to suit up is Thursday's matchup with Cleveland.
Jan 28, 2023
Ruled out Sunday
Konchar (concussion) will not play in Sunday's game against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Konchar will miss a third straight tilt as he remains in concussion protocols. With Desmond Bane (knee) and Danny Green (knee) doubtful, the Grizzlies may have to turn to David Roddy, Ziaire Williams and Jake Laravia on the wing for Sunday's contest. Konchar will have another opportunity to return Wednesday against the Trail Blazers.
Jan 26, 2023
Still out Friday
Konchar (concussion) remains out for Friday's matchup against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Konchar will miss a second straight game. The Grizzlies could be extra thin on the wing, as Desmond Bane (knee) is questionable.
Jan 24, 2023
Out with concussion
Konchar has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Warriors while in the NBA's concussion protocol.
ANALYSIS
There was no word of a head injury following the Grizzlies' last matchup Monday against the Kings, so it's unclear as to when Konchar suffered the injury. He'll need to pass through the league's protocol prior to gaining clearance to return.
Jan 23, 2023
Goes unnoticed in loss
Konchar notched zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal over six minutes during Sunday's 112-110 loss to Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Konchar barely saw the floor in the loss, continuing a trend that has seen him play fewer than 16 minutes in six straight games. While he has had some nice moments this season, he is simply too hard to trust, especially when the team is relatively healthy, as they are now.
Jan 17, 2023
Seemingly available Wednesday
Konchar isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Konchar is set to play Wednesday after missing the last two games with a non-COVID illness. The 26-year-old guard's return will likely result in reduced minutes for Ziaire Williams and David Roddy.
Jan 16, 2023
Won't play Monday
Konchar (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Konchar was listed as questionable ahead of Monday's matchup but was considered unlikely to play against Phoenix due to his non-COVID illness. Ziaire Williams and David Roddy will likely see increased playing time once again Monday.
Jan 16, 2023
Expected to sit Monday
Konchar (illness) is unlikely to play in Monday's game against the Suns, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar is slated to miss a second consecutive contest due to a non-COVID illness. His absence should open up minutes on the wing for Ziaire Williams and David Roddy. Konchar's next chance to play will come Wednesday against the Cavaliers.
Jan 15, 2023
Questionable against Phoenix
Konchar (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Konchar continues to deal with a non-COVID illness, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available Monday after missing Saturday's game against the Pacers. Although Dillon Brooks (ankle) will be back in action against Phoenix, David Roddy and Ziaire Williams could see increased run if Konchar is unavailable.
Jan 13, 2023
Ruled out Saturday
Konchar will not suit up for Saturday's game against the Pacers due to a non-COVID illness.
ANALYSIS
Konchar will be sidelined for just the third time this season with an illness. Dillon Brooks (ankle) was also tabbed questionable for the contest, meaning David Roddy and Ziaire Williams could earn significantly more playing time Saturday. However, Konchar has averaged just 14.3 minutes in his last three contests. His next chance to take the floor will come Monday against Phoenix.
Jan 5, 2023
Back in starting five
Konchar will start Thursday's game versus the Magic, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar continues to receive the nod when Desmond Bane (toe) gets the night off, which is the case again Thursday for injury management purposes. Konchar is averaging 9.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.3 steals over 27.9 minutes across 21 games as a starter, so there's some additional upside to his fantasy outlook Thursday.
Jan 4, 2023
Drops out of starting unit
Konchar will not start Wednesday's game versus the Hornets, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar made a spot start with Desmond Bane on the sidelines but returns to the bench with Bane back in action Wednesday. He should still log a healthy role in this one, likely nearing or topping 20 minutes. Konchar enters the night averaging 5.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists over 22.2 minutes per game over his 13 bench appearances.
Jan 1, 2023
Starting Sunday
Konchar is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Kings, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar will jump to the starting unit in place of Desmond Bane, who had been ruled out due to injury management. Konchar is averaging 8.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 steals per game in 20 starts this season.
Dec 23, 2022
Back to bench
Konchar will operate off the bench during Friday's matchup against the Suns, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar will shift back to the bench with Desmond Bane back in action following a lengthy absence due to toe injury. However, Bane is expected to operate under a minutes restriction, so Konchar should still see a sizable role off the bench. In eight games as a reserve, Konchar has averaged 5.4 points and 5.3 rebounds in 23.6 minutes.
Dec 21, 2022
Opens donut store Tuesday
Konchar contributed zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 16 minutes during Tuesday's 105-91 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Konchar was invisible in the loss, failing to register a single point. After a strong run of performances, he has cooled significantly of late, almost to the point where he is now a non-factor in standard formats. He will of course be better than this but managers could certainly consider moving on from him in favor of a streaming spot.
Dec 12, 2022
Packs stat sheet
Konchar had nine points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Monday's 128-103 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Konchar managed to contribute across the board in this one, turning in his best rebounding and passing performance of December. He's scored in double figures just once in his last six contests, but his production elsewhere continues to buy him a look in deeper fantasy leagues.
Dec 10, 2022
Modest line in Friday's win
Konchar amassed eight points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 25 minutes during Friday's 114-103 win over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Konchar continues to start for the Grizzlies, although his production of late has started to decline. He has been a top-100 player over the past month but has seen that fall to outside the top 150 across the last three games. He remains a viable asset, thanks mostly to his ability to chip in across multiple categories. With that said, his upside is limited, meaning he could be dropped if a hot free agent comes along.
Dec 7, 2022
Gets starting nod
Konchar is in the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Steve McGehee of News 9 Oklahoma City reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar will replace David Roddy in the starting lineup Wednesday. Konchar missed Monday's game against the Heat with a toe injury.
Dec 6, 2022
Off injury report
Konchar (toe) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar and many regulars got the night off during Monday's surprise win over the Heat, but he'll be back in action Wednesday. In Konchar's past 10 games (all starts), he's averaged 10.6 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 steals in 31.5 minutes.
Dec 5, 2022
Won't go vs. Heat
Konchar (toe) won't play in Monday's game against Miami.
ANALYSIS
Konchar has officially been ruled out after being added to the injury report as doubtful earlier in the day. Ja Morant (ankle) and Desmond Bane (toe) are also out, leaving plenty of chances for Tyus Jones, Kennedy Chandler and David Roddy.
Dec 5, 2022
Doubtful Monday
Konchar is doubtful for Monday's game against the Heat due to right toe soreness.
ANALYSIS
Konchar was not previously on the injury report, making his doubtful designation incredibly concerning for his Monday status. He is joined by Jake LaRavia (foot), Ja Morant (ankle) and Ziare Williams (knee) as doubtful while Desmond Bane Itoe) and Jaren Jackson (injury management) are out. Expect Dillon Brooks, David Roddy and Tyus Jones to handle a large workload if Konchar sits.
Dec 4, 2022
Returns to double figures
Konchar contributed 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and four steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 122-112 win over Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Konchar shot efficiently in limited chances and extended his streak of at least one made triple to 10 games. He also scored in double digits for the fifth time in eight matchups. The 26-year-old is averaging 8.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists through 21 contests this season.
Dec 3, 2022
Stays lukewarm
Konchar closed Friday's 117-109 win over the 76ers with eight points (2-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one steal across 32 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Konchar continues seeing ample run with Desmond Bane (toe) out, but it's no longer translating to notable production. Konchar has failed to exceed 10 points in any of his last five contests, although he has pulled down six-plus rebounds in each appearance.
Nov 25, 2022
Active and starting
Konchar (calf) will play and start Friday's matchup against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Konchar is joined by Ja Morant, Dillon Brooks, Jaren Jackson and Steven Adams (illness) in the starting five. In 17 games Konchar has produced 8.4 points and 6.4 rebounds in 27.4 minutes per game.
Nov 24, 2022
Questionable Friday
Konchar is questionable for Friday's game against the Pelicans due to left calf soreness.
ANALYSIS
Konchar hasn't missed a game since Oct. 27, and he's started the past five games with Desmond Bane (toe) sidelined. If Konchar is out, more minutes could be in store for David Roddy, Jake LaRavia and other wings.
Nov 21, 2022
Delivers excellent game sans Morant
Konchar finished with 16 points (4-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Sunday's 127-115 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Though Tyus Jones was the direct replacement in the starting five for the injured Ja Morant (ankle), the All-Star guard's absence allowed Konchar to take on more playmaking opportunities than usual. Konchar's fantasy value had already been the rise after he moved into the starting five last week in the wake of Desmond Bane (toe) suffering an injury that's expected to keep him out 2-to-3 weeks, and the loss of Morant should only further improve Konchar's outlook. The fourth-year player is now averaging 12.8 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.3 three-pointers and 1.0 steals in 34.0 minutes per contest while starting each of the past four games.
Nov 19, 2022
Leads team from deep
Konchar racked up 19 points (7-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block across 29 minutes during Friday's 121-110 win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Konchar finished Friday's contest with a double-double in scoring and rebounding, also leading the team with a team-high four threes. Konchar has made four or more threes in three games this season, having reached double-figures in five contests this year.
Nov 13, 2022
Joins starting lineup
Konchar will start Sunday's matchup against Washington in the absence of Desmond Bane (toe), Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar will draw his fifth start of the season with Bane sidelined. In his previous four starts, the fourth-year wing has averaged 9.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 27.3 minutes, including a season-high 17-point performance in a win over the Rockets on Oct. 21.
Nov 8, 2022
Delivers rare scoring boost
Konchar finished Monday's game against the Celtics with 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-7 3PT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block in 26 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Konchar did all of his damage from beyond the arc in this one. He tied his season-high in made triples with four, a mark he also hit in the season opener Oct. 19 against the Knicks. It's also worth noting that Konchar saw a slight uptick in playing time, logging 26 minutes for the first time since Oct. 31 when he started against Utah.
Nov 2, 2022
Moves to bench
Konchar will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against Portland, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.
ANALYSIS
With Desmond Bane (ankle) rejoining the starting five after a one-game absence, Konchar will shift back to a reserve role Wednesday. In six appearances, Konchar has averaged 7.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 27.3 minutes per contest.
Oct 31, 2022
Enters starting five
Konchar will start Monday's game against the Jazz, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar will take the place of Desmond Bane (ankle), who has been ruled out for Monday's matchup. Konchar also filled in for Bane to begin the 2022-23 campaign, averaging 11.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.7 steals over three starts.
Oct 30, 2022
Fails to score in 28 minutes
Konchar ended Saturday's 124-123 loss to the Jazz with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one steal over 28 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Remember when Konchar was a realistic target in 12-team leagues? Well, that time appears to have come and gone after he dropped a donut in the loss. While he does have a regular spot in the rotation, managers would be better served fixing their attention on someone with more upside.
Oct 29, 2022
Available Saturday
Konchar (shoulder) is available for Saturday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Konchar, despite the shoulder soreness, could see more minutes and usage Saturday with Ja Morant (illness) and Jake LaRavia (illness) out. In four appearances, Konchar has averaged 10.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 27.5 minutes.
Oct 28, 2022
Questionable Saturday
Konchar (shoulder) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Konchar sat out Thursday's game against Sacramento due to a shoulder injury, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available Saturday. If he's sidelined once again, David Roddy is a candidate to see increased work.
Oct 27, 2022
Out Thursday
Konchar (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Konchar suffered a shoulder injury at some point during or after Memphis' game against Brooklyn and was considered questionable heading into Thursday. With the guard ruled out, David Roddy could see more minutes in a depth role behind Desmond Bane and Dillon Brooks.
Oct 26, 2022
Questionable Thursday
Konchar is questionable for Thursday's game against the Kings due to left shoulder soreness.
ANALYSIS
Konchar chipped in seven points, four rebounds and two steals in 26 minutes off the bench during Monday's win over the Nets, but he may have hurt his shoulder sometime during the contest. If Konchar is unable to play Thursday, more minutes would be available for David Roddy behind starters Desmond Bane and Dillon Brooks.
Oct 24, 2022
Coming off bench
Konchar isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Brooklyn, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar will unsurprisingly shift to a bench role with Dillon Brooks cleared to play. Konchar started the first three games of the 2022-23 season while Brooks recovered from a minor thigh injury, averaging 11.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.7 steals in 27.7 minutes.
Oct 23, 2022
Falls flat in thumping loss
Konchar logged five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and two rebounds in 20 minutes during Saturday's 137-96 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Konchar was barely noticeable in the loss, turning in easily his worst performance of the season. With Dillon Brooks upgraded to questionable for this game, his potential return to action could signal the end of fantasy relevance for Konchar. If you picked him up, he is worth holding until we get word on Brooks and whether he might return to the court vs. the Nets on Monday.
Oct 22, 2022
Solid as starter once again
Konchar had 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), five rebounds, one block and three steals over 30 minutes during Friday's 129-122 victory over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Konchar has started the first two games of the season with Dillon Brooks (thigh) sidelined, and he has stepped up so far with back-to-back double-digit scoring performances and decent levels of efficiency as a shooter. Through two games, Konchar has racked up 29 points, 16 rebounds and five steals while shooting 46.7 percent from three-point range.
Oct 21, 2022
Starting once again
Konchar will join the starting lineup in place of Dillon Brooks (thigh) on Friday, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar started for Brooks in Wednesday's season opener also, securing 12 points, 11 rebounds and two steals in 33 minutes of action. Konchar can be considered a value option in daily formats.
Oct 19, 2022
Double-double in OT win
Konchar amassed 12 points (4-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 115-112 overtime win over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Getting the start at small forward with both Dillon Brooks (thigh) and Ziaire Williams (knee) unavailable, Konchar seized his opportunity and was one of three Grizzlies to record double-digit boards while leading the team in made three-pointers. The 26-year-old also delivered a surprise triple-double on the final day of last season, and Konchar appears to have the skills to make a fantasy impact when he gets the chance.
Oct 19, 2022
Starting for Brooks
Konchar will start Wednesday's season opener against the Knicks, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
With Dillon Brooks (thigh) inactive, Konchar will join the starting five for Wednesday's opener. In 72 appearances last season, Konchar contributed 4.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 17.9 minutes per game. He should see an expanded role until Brooks and/or Ziaire Williams (knee) are able to return.
Oct 1, 2022
Starting Saturday
Konchar is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Konchar gets the nod at shooting guard, but that shouldn't be much of a surprise given the fact that the coaching staff rested most of the regulars for this one. Konchar averaged 4.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game in 2021-22.
Oct 1, 2022
Starting Saturday
Konchar is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Konchar gets the nod at shooting guard, but that shouldn't be much of a surprise given the fact that the coaching staff rested most of the regulars for this one. Konchar averaged 4.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game in 2021-22.
Jul 7, 2022
Inks three-year extension
Konchar and the Grizzlies agreed on a three-year, $19 million extension Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar has two seasons left on his deal, so the extension has him under contract through the 2026-27 campaign. The only Purdue-Fort Wayne product in NBA history, Konchar has been with Memphis since signing a contract in July of 2019 after going unselected in the NBA Draft. Last season was the best of his career, with the 6-foot-5 guard averaging 4.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 17.9 minutes. He's a career 40.6 percent three-point shooter on 192 total attempts.
Apr 11, 2022
Records first career triple-double
Konchar finished with 17 points (7-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 13 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals across 39 minutes during Sunday's 139-110 loss to Boston.
ANALYSIS
With the Grizzlies resting all of their regulars, Konchar drew his seventh start of the season and recorded his first career triple-double. He scored at least 15 points for the fifth time this season, grabbed double-digit rebounds for a sixth time and dished out a career-high 10 assists. The third-year wing finished the regular season with averages of 4.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 17.9 minutes across 72 appearances -- all career highs.
Apr 1, 2022
Produces off bench
Konchar provided 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-2 3PT), six rebounds and one steal in Friday's 122-114 win over Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Konchar's opportunities have been spotty since the All-Star break, but he saw an uptick in minutes as Memphis deals with a handful of injuries. The third-year guard finished second on the team in rebounds including four offensive boards in 24 minutes off the bench.
Mar 25, 2022
Approaches double-double off bench
Konchar ended Thursday's 133-103 victory over the Pacers with 18 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds and four assists over 25 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Konchar tied his career high with 18 points in the win, and he fell two boards shy of registering his third double-double of the campaign. The third-year guard saw more than his usual amount of playing time with Ja Morant (knee) injured and the Grizzlies piling up a big lead. Morant could miss the remainder of the regular season due to the knee issue, which will likely result in a slight uptick in minutes for Konchar moving forward. His production is unlikely to warrant fantasy consideration even with more playing time, however.
Mar 3, 2022
Available Thursday
Konchar (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Konchar was questionable with a left ankle sprain and will return to the court Thursday after missing one game. He averaged 4.8 points and 4.6 rebounds in 20.0 minutes in the five games prior to suffering the injury.
Mar 2, 2022
Questionable Thursday
Konchar (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against Boston.
ANALYSIS
Konchar missed Monday's game against the Spurs but will have a chance to return Thursday. If he remains out, Kyle Anderson and Jarrett Culver should see additional playing time.
Feb 27, 2022
Ruled out Monday
Konchar (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Konchar sprained his left ankle during Saturday's win over the Bulls and will be forced to miss at least one additional game. Kyle Anderson and Jarrett Culver should see an uptick in playing time.
Feb 27, 2022
Suffers ankle injury
Konchar didn't return to Saturday's 116-110 win over the Bulls after suffering from left ankle soreness earlier in the contest.
ANALYSIS
Before exiting, Konchar produced one point (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds across eight minutes. The reserve wing can be viewed as day-to-day heading into Monday's game against the Spurs.
Jan 31, 2022
Back to bench
Konchar will move back to the bench for Monday's game against the 76ers, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar started Saturday's game against Washington in place of Ziaire Williams, but with Williams back healthy he'll move back to his usual bench role. Konchar finished Saturday's victory with seven points, 10 boards, five assists and a steal in 33 minutes.
Jan 30, 2022
Impresses in starting role
Konchar racked up seven points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Saturday's 115-95 win over Washington.
ANALYSIS
Konchar came off the bench in his previous two games, but he was back in the starting five Saturday due to the absence of Ziaire Williams (knee). The third-year pro was one of two players in the contest to grab double-digit rebounds and also racked up a season-high five assists. Konchar has proven to be a strong rebounder, but he doesn't produce enough offensively to be a viable fantasy asset.
Jan 29, 2022
Starting Saturday
Konchar is starting Saturday's game against the Wizards, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.
ANALYSIS
Konchar came off the bench in each of the last two games but will rejoin the starting lineup since Ziaire Williams (knee) is unavailable Saturday. Across his three starts last week, the 25-year-old averaged 5.3 points and 7.3 rebounds in 29.3 minutes per game.
Jan 26, 2022
Moves to bench
Konchar will come off the bench for Wednesday's matchup with the Spurs, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.
ANALYSIS
With Desmond Bane (COVID-19 protocols) back in the lineup after a three-game absence, Konchar will shift back to his usual bench role. The 25-year-old is averaging 4.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 18.0 minutes per game this season.
Jan 20, 2022
Scores six in start
Konchar registered six points (3-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 126-114 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Konchar drew his third start of the season with Desmond Bane (COVID-19 protocols) sitting out. The 25-year-old wasn't overly aggressive and made solid contributions throughout the box score. Konchar is a likely candidate to stick in the starting lineup for the duration of Bane's absence.
Jan 19, 2022
Starting for Bane
Konchar will start Wednesday's game at Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old will make his third start of the season with Desmond Bane (COVID-19 protocols) sitting out. Konchar averaged 9.0 points, 11.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 31.0 minutes in his previous two starts and should see increased run until Bane can retake the court. De'Anthony Melton should also be more involved for Memphis.
Jan 14, 2022
Season-high performance off bench
Konchar finished with 15 points (6-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), 17 rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes during Thursday's 116-108 victory over Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Konchar scored his most points (15) since dropping 17 during a Dec. 2 blowout win over the Thunder, and he also grabbed a season-high 17 boards en route to his second double-double of the 2021-22 campaign. The 6-foot-5 wing is averaging just 4.9 points and 4.3 rebounds across 16.9 minutes this season, but he could be in line for an increased role if he continues to produce like he did Thursday.
Jan 9, 2022
Clears protocols
Konchar (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) isn't included on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Konchar made consecutive starts in his final two appearances before entering the protocols Dec. 28, but the Grizzlies will most likely ease him back into the fold with a bench role as he makes his return from a two-week absence. The 25-year-old will likely be one of several players that absorbs minutes on the wing Sunday with Dillon Brooks (ankle) listed as out and Desmond Bane (quadriceps) listed as questionable for the contest.
Jan 8, 2022
Out vs. Clippers
Konchar (COVID-19 protocols) is out Saturday against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Konchar was initially questionable but needs more time to get through protocols. His next chance to play is Sunday against the Lakers.
Jan 7, 2022
Deemed questionable Saturday
Konchar (COVID-19 protocols) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Konchar has been in the league's health and safety protocols since Dec. 28 but has a chance to return Saturday. Even if he's back in action, he'll likely face a minutes restriction.
Dec 28, 2021
Enters COVID-19 protocols
Konchar entered health and safety protocols Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Konchar has seen an expanded role lately, but that will end for now. In his absence, more minutes could be available for Kyle Anderson and Killian Tillie.
Dec 27, 2021
Excellent against Kings
Konchar accumulated 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 28 minutes during Sunday's 127-102 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Konchar made the first start of his career Sunday and things couldn't have gone any better, as the former Purdue Fort Wayne standout notched his first double-double of the season while posting a season-high mark in rebounds and tying his best output of the campaign in terms of blocks. Don't be surprised if Konchar remains in the starting lineup when the Grizzlies take on the Suns on Monday, especially since Dillon Brooks remains out after entering the league's health and safety protocols.
Dec 26, 2021
To make first career start
Konchar will start Sunday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
With Dillon Brooks landing in COVID-19 protocols, Konchar will move into the lineup at small forward alongside Steven Adams, Jaren Jackson, Desmond Bane and Ja Morant. It will be the first career start for Konchar, who's averaged 4.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.4 threes in 31 appearances this season.
Dec 23, 2021
Active Thursday
Konchar (foot) will be available for Thursday's contest against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Konchar was listed as questionable due to right foot soreness, but he will be available off the bench for Memphis. On the season, the wing is averaging 4.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists across 15.6 minutes per game.
Dec 22, 2021
Nursing sore foot
Konchar is questionable for Thursday's game at Golden State due to right foot soreness.
ANALYSIS
Konchar presumable picked up the injury during the back-to-back set against Portland and Oklahoma City Sunday and Monday when he had eight points, three rebounds and three assists in 25 total minutes. De'Anthony Melton should see more run off the bench if Konchar is out.
Nov 27, 2021
Steps up as substitute
Konchar contributed 17 points (7-8 FG, 3-3 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists across 16 minutes during Friday's 132-100 loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Konchar looked impressive coming off the bench and while he didn't log a heavy amount of minutes, it's worth noting he made the most of his time on the court -- he missed just one shot and recorded more points (17) than minutes played (16). Konchar hadn't scored more than seven points in a single game this season prior to this contest, however, so it's hard to trust him in most formats unless he finds a way to score with more consistency going forward.

Scores 15 points off bench
Konchar delivered 15 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and an assist across 22 minutes off the bench in Friday's win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Konchar has struggled to see regular playing time off the bench for the Grizzlies, but he is ending the season on a strong note and has scored in double digits in three of his last six appearances. He's averaging 8.8 points per game since the beginning of May and could see decent minutes off the bench in the regular-season finale Sunday at Golden State.
May 11, 2021
Best performance of career Tuesday
Konchar posted 18 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, and three assists in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 133-104 win over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Konchar posted a career-high 18 points during Tuesday's blowout win. He's shown an ability to put up solid numbers when given the opportunity, though opportunities like this rarely arrive. Per 36 minutes for his career, Konchar is averaging 10.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.9 steals.
May 5, 2021
Absent Wednesday
Konchar (coach's decision) didn't play during Wednesday's win over Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
This was Konchar's third straight absence. The guard has been rarely used since averaging 14.4 minutes across nine consecutive games from April 6 to April 19.
Apr 2, 2021
Non-factor Friday
Konchar grabbed one rebound in four minutes during Friday's win over Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Konchar logged his first minutes in three games but was a non-factor for the Grizzlies. The guard has totaled just nine points and five rebounds in his last four appearances dating back to March 15.
Mar 4, 2021
Doesn't play in loss Thursday
Konchar didn't play in Thursday's loss to Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
This was the second straight game that Konchar didn't take the floor, as the guard has all but fallen out of the rotation lately. Konchar has posted just two points dating back to Feb. 22.
Feb 20, 2021
Exits rotation
Konchar (coach's decision) didn't leave the bench Friday in the Grizzlies' 109-95 win over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
The Grizzlies were without one of their key wings in Dillon Brooks (thigh), but the returns of Desmond Bane (personal) and De'Anthony Melton (shoulder) from multi-game absences were enough to bump Konchar from the rotation. Brooks' eventual return will only push Konchar further down the pecking order on the wing. Before failing to see the court Friday, Konchar had appeared in six consecutive games, averaging 2.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 14.5 minutes.
Feb 2, 2021
Ticks off multiple categories in win
Konchar recorded five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal in 20 minutes Monday in the Grizzlies' 133-102 win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Konchar stuck in the rotation for a third straight game with Grayson Allen (COVID-19 health and safety protocols), and he received a little more playing time than normal with the Grizzlies limiting minutes for all of their starters in the blowout. The second-year wing has shown the ability to put up interesting all-around numbers on a per-minute basis, but he doesn't have a clear path to more playing time while all of Kyle Anderson, Dillon Brooks, De'Anthony Melton and Desmond Bane are healthy.

Rejoins rotation
Konchar played seven minutes off the bench in Monday's 108-104 win over the Suns, contributing four points (2-3 FG), two assists, one rebound and one steal.
ANALYSIS
After missing four games with a left ankle sprain, Konchar was cleared to return to action Jan. 13 in Minnesota, but head coach Taylor Jenkins still elected to leave the second-year wing out of the rotation for two consecutive contests. Konchar stepped back into a role on the second unit Monday, taking De'Anthony Melton's spot in the rotation. While Konchar made the most of his limited minutes, he's unlikely to see his playing time pick up much from this level unless the Grizzlies lose other wing players to injuries.
Jan 13, 2021
Active Wednesday
Konchar (ankle) is available to play Wednesday against Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
This will be the guard's first game back in over a week, as Konchar has missed the past four game with a left ankle sprain. Across five outings this season, Konchar is averaging 5.8 points in 19.6 minutes.
Jan 12, 2021
Questionable for Wednesday
Konchar (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Konchar has missed the past four games due to a sprained left ankle, but he could make his return Wednesday. He's played a rotational role for the Grizzlies this season, averaging 5.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.4 steals in 19.8 minutes.
Jan 10, 2021
Won't play Monday
Konchar (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old will be sidelined for the fourth straight game due to the left ankle sprain. Desmond Bane should continue to have an expanded role in Konchar's absence.
Jan 8, 2021
Out Friday
Konchar (ankle) is out Friday against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
The second-year wing will miss a second consecutive contest. In his absence, Desmond Bane should continue seeing extra run and usage.
Jan 6, 2021
Out Thursday
Konchar (ankle) is out Thursday against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Konchar will miss a second straight game due to a sprained left ankle. In his absence, Desmond Bane should continue seeing minutes in the 20s.
Jan 4, 2021
Out with sprained ankle
Konchar will not play in Tuesday's game against the Lakers due to a sprained left ankle.
ANALYSIS
The second-year guard has been a part of the regular rotation thus far, and his absence will leave the Grizzlies even more shorthanded Tuesday. Konchar played 17 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Lakers, finishing with four points, five rebounds, four assists, two steals and a block.
Nov 21, 2020
Re-ups with Memphis
Konchar agreed to a four-year, $9 million deal with the Grizzlies on Saturday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Following four seasons at Purdue-Fort Wayne, Konchar signed with the Grizzlies as an undrafted free agent on a two-way deal. Overall, the rookie averaged 2.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 9.5 minutes. Konchar also appeared in 20 games in the G League for the Memphis Hustle. He saw 29.1 minutes per game, averaging 12.2 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.8 steals. He also shot 56.5 percent from the field. Konchar is unlikely to be fantasy relevant this season, but the organization seems to have faith in him as a long-term rotation player.
Feb 25, 2020
Plays 18 minutes in loss
Konchar finished with eight points (4-4 FG, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one block in 18 minutes during Monday's 124-97 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Konchar saw decent run Monday as the Grizzlies continue to trend in the wrong direction. Up until this point, Konchar has had no fantasy value at all and perhaps this is a one-off. However, the Grizzlies are battling a couple of key injuries and Konchar certainly has the ability to contribute in multiple categories when given the opportunity. Those in deeper formats should keep an eye on the rotations moving forward.
Feb 9, 2020
Returns to G League
Konchar was assigned to the G League on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Konchar was recalled by the Grizzlies in late January and appeared in four games, averaging 1.8 points in 6.3 minutes. The 23-year-old is averaging 11.9 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.7 steals in 19 games with the Memphis Hustle this season.
Jan 26, 2020
Rejoins parent club
Konchar was recalled from the G League on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Konchar will join the Grizzlies with Jae Crowder (knee) and Grayson Allen (hip) unavailable Sunday. The 23-year-old has eight minutes in two NBA appearances this season, so he's unlikely to factor into the rotation versus the Suns.
