Keep up with the latest injuries from the Spurs vs Knicks game today with our National Basketball Association injury report.Oct 17, 2025
Listed as starter Friday
Jemison is listed in the starting lineup for Friday's exhibition with Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Jemison should get all the run he can handle Friday, with Mitchell Robinson (rest), Karl-Anthony Towns (quad) and Ariel Hukporti (illness) all set to be watching from the sidelines. Through four preseason games, Jemison has compiled averages of 5.5 points and 3.0 rebounds in 9.1 minutes a night.
Oct 14, 2025
Fares well off bench
Jemison produced nine points (3-3 FG, 3-5 FT), five rebounds and one block in 19 minutes of Monday's 120-103 preseason loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Jemison, who is on a two-way contract, was a bright spot for the Knicks on a night in which they rested their entire starting lineup. Jemison is likely to get a lot of reps in the G League this season unless there are some injuries to New York's frontcourt.
Sep 16, 2025
Inks two-way deal with New York
The Knicks signed Jemison to a two-way contract Tuesday, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
ANALYSIS
After being waived by the Lakers on July 21, the 24-year-old center has been given another shot on the NBA level, helping bolster his new squad's frontcourt for the 2025-26 campaign. The UAB product made 22 regular-season appearances with Los Angeles, averaging 2.6 points and 2.8 rebounds per game, shooting 61.9 percent from the field.
Jul 21, 2025
Waived by LAL on Monday
The Lakers waived Jemison on Monday, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jemison latched on with the Lakers on a two-way pact after being waived by the Pelicans in January, though he'll now have to explore other opportunities. The 25-year-old center appeared in 38 regular-season games between Los Angeles and New Orleans in the 2024-25 campaign, during which he averaged 2.5 points and 2.8 rebounds across 10.3 minutes per game.
Mar 21, 2025
Returns with four points, five boards
Jemison (illness) recorded four points (2-3 FG) and five rebounds across 16 minutes Thursday in the Lakers' 118-89 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
After missing each of the Lakers' last four games while recovering from an illness, Jemison made his return to the rotation Thursday, stepping in as the backup to Jaxson Hayes. A two-way player, Jemison will be eligible to be active for just eight of the Lakers' remaining 13 contests, so he could be in store for some unannounced absences over the next few weeks. Even if he wasn't approaching his active games limit, Jemison likely would have been at risk of falling out of the rotation in the near future anyway with Rui Hachimura (knee) and LeBron James (groin) set to return from multi-game absences as soon as Saturday.
Mar 20, 2025
Good to go against Milwaukee
Jemison (illness) isn't on the injury report for Thursday's game versus the Bucks, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jemison will return to action Thursday after missing the Lakers' previous five contests due to an illness. Jemison is averaging 3.9 points and 2.6 rebounds in 13.0 minutes across his previous 10 appearances.
Mar 19, 2025
Downgraded to out against Denver
Jemison has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jemison will now miss a fifth straight game due to an illness after seemingly being cleared to play against Denver on Wednesday. The next opportunity for the young big man to return to the floor will be Thursday against the Bucks.
Mar 19, 2025
Available against Denver
Jemison (illness) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Jemison has missed the last four games for the Lakers while dealing with an illness but will make his return Wednesday against the visiting Nuggets. The 24-year-old big man has played in 31 games for Los Angeles, averaging 2.7 points and 2.8 rebounds in 10.9 minutes per game.
Mar 18, 2025
Questionable for Wednesday
Jemison (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Denver, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jemison is in jeopardy of missing his fourth consecutive contest due to an illness. If the 25-year-old center remains on the shelf, Alex Len and Christian Koloko are candidates for a bump in minutes behind Jaxson Hayes.
Mar 17, 2025
Out again Monday
Jemison (illness) will not play Monday against the Spurs, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Jemison will miss his third straight contest but remains day-to-day. His next chance to play comes Wednesday against Denver.
Mar 16, 2025
Won't play Sunday
Jemison (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Suns, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
ANALYSIS
After missing Friday's game against the Nuggets due to an illness, Jemison was not listed on the Lakers' initial injury report for Sunday. However, he's now a late scratch and will miss a second straight game. Jaxson Hayes (knee) is expected to play Sunday, but Jemison's absence will open up a handful of extra minutes for Christian Koloko and/or Alex Len.
Mar 15, 2025
Not on injury report
Jemison (illness) is not on the injury report and should be available for Sunday's game against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Jemison missed Friday's game against the Nuggets due to an illness, but he should return to action Sunday. His role remains uncertain, but it wouldn't be surprising if he starts in case Jaxson Hayes (knee) doesn't play.
Mar 14, 2025
Won't play Friday
Jemison (illness) is out for Friday's game against the Raptors, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jemison was initially listed as questionable due to an illness, and in the end, the big man won't be able to suit up for this contest. His next chance to play will come against the Suns on Sunday, though given how packed the schedule has been for the Lakers in recent days, the rest could be beneficial for the big man.
Mar 14, 2025
Iffy for Friday
Jemison is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Nuggets due to an illness, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
As a two-way player, Jemison has received inconsistent playing time for the Lakers and is now in danger of missing Friday's contest due to an illness. However, with Jaxson Hayes (knee) out and Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) doubtful, Jemison could receive increased playing time against Denver if he's upgraded to available.
Mar 7, 2025
Productive in limited action
Jemison recorded seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 FT) and four rebounds over 13 minutes during Thursday's 113-109 overtime win over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Jemison made the most of his limited action Thursday, but his low workloads makes him difficult to trust in fantasy. As long as Jaxson Hayes is the preferred option at center, minutes will be hard to come by for Jemison. In his last four appearances, Jemison has averaged just 17.7 minutes per contest with 4.8 points and 4.3 rebounds per game.
Jan 15, 2025
Signing two-way deal with Lakers
The Lakers plan to sign Jemison to a two-way contract, NBA reporter Jake Fischer reports.
ANALYSIS
After waiving Quincy Olivari on Wednesday, Los Angeles has quickly set their sights on his replacement in their two-way spot. Jemison offers the Lakers depth behind Anthony Davis and Jaxson Hayes and played 10.4 minutes per game over 16 appearances with the Pelicans, but the 25-year-old big man would appear more likely to receive steady playing time in the G League as opposed to the NBA level.
Jan 10, 2025
Let go by New Orleans
Jemison was waived by the Pelicans on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
The Pelicans will waive the two-way center in order to sign Keion Brooks to a two-way pact. Jemison carved out a role in the rotation early in the season due to injuries, though he had received little playing time of late. The 25-year-old appeared in 16 regular-season outings for New Orleans, during which he had averaged 2.4 points and 2.8 rebounds in 10.4 minutes per contest.
Nov 20, 2024
Sticks in rotation Tuesday
Jemison notched two points (1-2 FG), one rebound, one assist and two steals in 17 minutes during Tuesday's 132-91 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Jemison played double-digit minutes for the sixth time in the past seven games, highlighting the fact that the Pelicans are battling a number of injuries to key players. Over the past two weeks, Jemison is averaging 4.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 combined steals and blocks in 15.1 minutes per game. It has been a surprising development but one that is almost certainly going to end once the team starts to get their primary pieces back on the floor.
Jul 26, 2024
Headed to New Orleans
The Pelicans claimed Jemison off waivers Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Jemison was waived by the Grizzlies earlier this week but will now have the opportunity to compete for minutes in the Pelicans' frontcourt rotation. In 2023-24, Jemison averaged 6.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.2 blocks and 1.1 assists in 23.0 minutes across 25 regular-season appearances.
Jul 24, 2024
Waived by Memphis
The Grizzlies waived Jemison on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Jemison was forced to make way with the Grizzlies signing Jay Huff to a two-way contract. While on a two-way contract with the Grizzlies during the 2023-24 regular season, Jemison made 25 appearances with averages of 7.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 blocks.
Apr 10, 2024
Nearly double-doubles
Jemison racked up 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 102-87 loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Jemison had yet another strong showing for a Memphis team ravaged by injuries. Through four appearances in April, Jemison has compiled averages of 10.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.5 blocks in 28.5 minutes.
Apr 6, 2024
First career double-double Friday
Jemison registered 17 points (7-9 FG, 3-3 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal over 31 minutes during Friday's 108-90 win over Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Jemison started for the second consecutive game, and the former UAB standout delivered one of his best outings of the season Friday, posting his first double-double while notching a career-high mark in rebounds. Jemison is expected to remain in the starting lineup for Saturday's matchup against the 76ers in case Santi Aldama (foot) or Jaren Jackson (quadriceps) end up being ruled out.
Apr 3, 2024
Late addition to starting lineup
Jemison is in the starting lineup Wednesday, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
ANALYSIS
Jemison will replace Santi Aldama (foot), who was ruled out just before tipoff Wednesday. jemison is averaging 12.6 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 27.0 minutes across his previous five starting appearances.
Mar 26, 2024
Back in rotation Monday
Jemison recorded eight points (3-5 FG, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 22 minutes during Monday's 128-103 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Jemison returned to the lineup after sitting out against the Spurs on Friday. The Grizzlies continue to tinker with their lineup on a nightly basis, making it hard to trust anyone when it comes to sustainable fantasy value. At this point, it might be a situation to avoid, barring the ability to add players right up until the opening tip.
Mar 16, 2024
Not starting Saturday
Jemison is not in the starting lineup to face the Thunder on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Jemison recorded 38 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks in a two-game span (both starts) in a back-to-back set against Washington and Charlotte on March 12 and March 13. However, he'll move back to the bench with Jaren Jackson (qudriceps) being ready to return to the court. Jemison is averaging 2.7 points and 2.9 rebounds per game when deployed off the bench.
Mar 13, 2024
Drops career-high 24 points
Jemison logged 24 points (11-13 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and two blocks over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 109-97 win over Washington.
ANALYSIS
Jemison scored a career-high 24 points in the win, more than he had managed in his previous four games combined. Although it does appear as though he will feature in the rotation moving forward, the Grizzlies are by no means running out a predictable lineup on a nightly basis. With no guarantees he will suit up Wednesday, he makes for a tough hold in standard formats.
Mar 12, 2024
Starting against Washington
Jemison will start Tuesday's game against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Jaren Jackson (quadriceps) is sitting out Tuesday, as the Grizzlies continue to err on the side of caution with him. In five starts this season, Jemison has averaged 8.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.2 blocks.
Mar 9, 2024
Offers little in return
Jemison finished Friday's 99-92 loss to Atlanta with five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal across 16 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Jemison returned to action Friday, failing to produce anything of note. He has been in and out of the rotation over the past month, playing in four of the past 10 games. On a team that has no motivation whatsoever, Jemison simply cannot be trusted as a reliable fantasy asset.
Mar 6, 2024
Headed to G League
The Grizzlies assigned Jemison to the Memphis Hustle of the G League on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Jemison has started in each of his last three NBA appearances but continues to split time with the Grizzlies and the Hustle. The 23-year-old big man is approaching his limit of active games allotted with the Grizzlies as a two-way player, but on the occasions that he's active, expect him to be included in the rotation.
Mar 6, 2024
Slides back to bench
Jemison will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Jemison started two of the Grizzlies' last three games due to Jaren Jackson being inactive, but he'll return to the second unit with Jackson back in action. He'll likely split backup center work with Lamar Stevens.
Mar 5, 2024
Strong game in limited minutes
Jemison produced 10 points (5-6 FG), seven rebounds and one block across 19 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 106-102 victory over Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Jemison has started in his last three appearances for the Grizzlies, but it's also worth noting he hasn't played in four of the team's six games since the end of the All-Star break. The lack of an established role hurts his upside, though Jemison can be an effective two-way asset for the Grizzlies if given enough minutes. Until the minutes are there on a consistent basis, however, it's better to leave Jemison on the wire regardless of the format.
Mar 4, 2024
Back with first unit
Jemison is starting Monday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Jemison didn't see any run in Saturday's matchup against the Blazers, but he'll get an opportunity to run with the first unit Monday evening. Lamar Stevens will come off the bench as a result.
Mar 2, 2024
Moves to bench
Jemison will move to the bench for Saturday's game versus Portland.
ANALYSIS
Jaren Jackson (quadriceps) is sitting out again, but the Grizzlies are rolling with Lamar Stevens in the frontcourt alongside Santi Aldama.
Mar 1, 2024
Starting against Portland
Jemison will start Friday's game versus Portland.
ANALYSIS
Jaren Jackson (quadriceps) is sitting out Friday, and his status for Saturday is in jeopardy as well with the Grizzlies being very cautious. With very little frontcourt depth, Memphis may need Jemison to log significant minutes.
Feb 15, 2024
Starting vs. Milwaukee
Jemison is starting Thursday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Jemison will get an opportunity to start at center with Jaren Jackson (quadriceps) out of commission. This marks Jemison's third start of the season, with his last dating back to Feb. 6 against the Knicks.
Feb 9, 2024
Inks two-way deal
The Grizzlies are signing Jemison to a two-way contract Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
After GG Jackson signed his four-year deal, Memphis was left with an open two-way roster spot. Jemison will fill that spot after making six appearances, including two starts for the Grizzlies. The 23-year-old big man is averaging 3.8 points and 3.0 rebounds in 14.2 minutes across that span.
Feb 8, 2024
Back to bench
Jemison will come off the bench for Thursday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
No surprise here, as Jaren Jackson is returning from a two-game absence. But with Xavier Tillman traded away to Boston, Jemison could maintain a role in the short term. He was solid in Tuesday's loss to the Knicks, producing 12 points, seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 32 minutes.
Feb 7, 2024
Best performance yet for Memphis
Jemison totaled 12 points (6-10 FG), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 123-113 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
In his fifth career NBA game and second career start, Jemison set personal bests in points and boards. The 24-year-old center is getting his opportunity thanks to injuries to Brandon Clarke (Achilles), Jaren Jackson (hip) and Xavier Tillman (knee), but what value Jemison has as a DFS punt play will evaporate quickly once the Grizzlies' frontcourt gets healthier.
Feb 5, 2024
Blocks two shots as starter
Jemison racked up six points (2-5 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two blocks over 23 minutes during Sunday's 131-91 loss to Boston.
ANALYSIS
With Jaren Jackson (hip), Xavier Tillman (knee), Santi Aldama (lower body) and other frontcourt members sidelined, Jemison drew his first career start. Aside from the two blocks, Jemison's production was modest, and he played the fewest minutes of the eight Grizzlies who saw action versus Boston. If the aforementioned trio of centers remains sidelined, Jemison may get another 10-day deal from Memphis, but he doesn't need to be on fantasy radars yet.
Feb 4, 2024
Making first career start
Jemison will start Sunday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Jemison, who's operating under a 10-day deal, will make his first career NBA start for the depleted Grizzlies. On Thursday, Jemison posted five points, three rebounds and one block in 14 minutes but figures to see an increased role versus Boston.
Jan 30, 2024
Joins Grizzlies on 10-day deal
Jemison signed a 10-day contract with the Grizzlies on Tuesday, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
ANALYSIS
Jemison's 10-day contract with the Wizards just expired, so the Grizzlies moved pretty quickly here to add some much-needed depth. Jemison has spent most of his time this season with Birmingham in the G League where he averaged 12.9 points and 11.9 rebounds.
Jan 30, 2024
Time up in Washington
Jemison's 10-day contract with the Wizards expired Tuesday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Washington will have the option of bringing Jemison back on a second 10-day deal, but it's unclear if the team intends to keep its 15-man roster spot open for the undrafted rookie center. With Daniel Gafford and Marvin Bagley ahead of him in the pecking order at center, Jemison was limited to a pair of one-minute appearances over his week-and-a-half-long stay with Washington. If Jemison isn't re-signed, he'll likely head back to the G League's Birmingham Squadron, with whom he had been playing prior to catching on with the Wizards on the 10-day deal.
Jan 20, 2024
Inks deal with Washington
The Wizards are signing Jemison to a 10-day contract Saturday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Jemison has spent the 2023-24 season with the Birmingham Squadron up to this point, averaging 13.6 points, 12.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 30.3 minutes across nine appearances. Jemison will likely compete for depth minutes at Washington's center spot behind Daniel Gafford and Marvin Bagley.
Oct 21, 2023
Waived by Pelicans
The Pelicans waived Jemison on Saturday, Keith Smith of Spotrac reports.
ANALYSIS
Jemison is among several players that New Orleans waived before Saturday's deadline, and if he goes through waivers unclaimed, then he'd have to report to the franchise's G League affiliate, the Birmingham Squadron. Jemison played for the Suns in the 2023 NBA Summer League.
