• Podcast Joe Mullinax, Locked On Grizzlies · Report · Oct 15

  Isaiah Stewart is already out for the start of the season. The transcript gives no reason.

• Podcast DaMichael Cole, Locked On Grizzlies · Analysis · Oct 14

  DeMichael named five bench players he sees as virtual rotation locks: Scotty Pippen Jr., Cam Spencer, GG Jackson (heard as "Gigi Jackson"), Jerami Grant (heard as "Jeremy Grant") and Quinten Post (heard as "Quentin Post"). He tied Post's spot to Isaiah Stewart's injury. Joe agreed with these 10 (starters plus these five).

• Podcast Locked On Grizzlies host · Report · Oct 14

  Isaiah Stewart has an injury and is out right now. The hosts did not describe the injury. They were unsure whether he will miss the season opener.

• Podcast Joe Mullinax, Locked On Grizzlies · Prediction · Oct 14

  Joe expects the team to play bigger. Once Isaiah Stewart is healthy, he sees Quinten Post (heard as "Quentin Post") as the 11th man, which gets him to an 11-man rotation. He hopes Boozer is used as a bigger combo 3/4.

• Podcast DaMichael Cole, Locked On Grizzlies · Prediction · Oct 14

  DeMichael agreed with Joe for when Stewart is healthy. If Stewart misses the season opener, he picks Taylor Hendricks as the 11th man. He likes Hendricks at his natural 4 for rim protection, next to Boozer with Post or Edey. He also mentioned Javon Small and Olivier-Maxence Prosper as possible options.

• Podcast Joe Mullinax, Locked On Grizzlies · Analysis · Oct 14

  Joe said that if Hendricks is the 11th man and Isaiah Stewart is obviously not getting cut, about three roster spots are left. Walter Clayton Jr., Micah Peavy and Kris Murray (heard as "Chris Murray") are among those competing.

• Podcast DaMichael Cole, Locked On Grizzlies · Analysis · Oct 13

  DeMichael says the team has many player-option decisions, naming Isaiah Stewart, Quinten Post (heard as 'Quentin Post'; likely Quinten Post) and Ty Jerome. He says space could reach '60, 70 million', enough to chase 'two big fish'.

• Podcast Joe Mullinax, Locked On Grizzlies · Analysis · Oct 13

  Joe lists the sixth-man candidates as Scotty Pippen Jr., GG Jackson, Isaiah Stewart 'when he is healthy', and Jerami Grant (heard as 'Jeremy Grant').

• Podcast Memphis Grizzlies (team medical update) (reported), via Locked On Grizzlies · Relayed report · Oct 12

  Team medical update, read on air: Isaiah Stewart sustained a moderate left ankle sprain in the first quarter of the preseason road game at Atlanta on October 5. He will be re-evaluated in two weeks. Joe says the update came out a couple of days ago.

• Podcast Joe Mullinax, Locked On Grizzlies · Open question · Oct 12

  Joe asks whether the two weeks run from the October 5 injury, which would mean re-evaluation on October 19, two days before opening night against the Jazz, or from the date of the update, which would rule Stewart out for opening night.

• Podcast DaMichael Cole, Locked On Grizzlies · Analysis · Oct 12

  Cole reads it as two weeks from the update date, which puts re-evaluation around the second or third regular-season game. He notes the update gives a re-evaluation date, not a return-to-play date.

• Podcast DaMichael Cole, Locked On Grizzlies · Prediction · Oct 12

  Cole projects that Stewart could return probably in early November, maybe mid-November. He does not think this is the worst case.

• Podcast DaMichael Cole, Locked On Grizzlies · Analysis · Oct 12

  Cole says Stewart should still be in the rotation, but room probably has to be made for Post (heard as "Quentin Post"; likely). Post will get more opportunity while Stewart is out.

• Podcast Joe Mullinax, Locked On Grizzlies · Analysis · Oct 12

  Joe's analysis: Post's play means Memphis does not have to rush Stewart back. He thinks Stewart is the better center, the two bring different things, and he assumes Edey will miss some time at some point.

• ESPN ESPN · Report · Oct 9

  The Grizzlies announced Friday that Stewart (ankle) will miss at least two weeks.
