Dieng scored 17 points (6-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT) to go with six rebounds and two steals across 24 minutes in a 126-107 loss to Boston on Wednesday.
Dieng had not seen much playing time to start the season, but he finally cleared 20 minutes for the first time since the NBA bubble in this game. The center has been efficient so far this season, shooting 52 percent from the field in four games. With Grayson Allen leaving early with an ankle sprain, Memphis has already seen significant injuries to three regular starters, which could spell more playing time for bench players like Dieng in the coming games.
