Grizzlies' John Konchar: Out with concussion
Rotowire
Konchar has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Warriors while in the NBA's concussion protocol.
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.

Grizzlies' John Konchar: Goes unnoticed in loss
Rotowire
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.
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.

Rotowire

Rotowire
Konchar (illness) is unlikely to play in Monday's game against the Suns, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

Grizzlies' John Konchar: Questionable against Phoenix
Rotowire
Konchar (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Suns.
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.

Grizzlies' John Konchar: Ruled out Saturday
Rotowire
Konchar will not suit up for Saturday's game against the Pacers due to a non-COVID illness.
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 more playing time Saturday. However, Konchar has averaged just 14.3 minutes in his last three contests, so the additional workloads for his teammates will be limited. Konchar's next chance to take the floor will come Monday against Phoenix.

Grizzlies' John Konchar: Back in starting five
Rotowire
Konchar will start Thursday's game versus the Magic, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.
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.

Rotowire
Konchar will not start Wednesday's game versus the Hornets, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.
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.

Grizzlies' John Konchar: Back to bench
Rotowire
Konchar will operate off the bench during Friday's matchup against the Suns, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.
Konchar will shift back to the bench with Desmond Bane back in action following a lengthy absence due to a toe injury. However, Bane is expected to operate under a minutes restriction, so Konchar should still see a sizable role off the bench. Konchar has averaged 5.4 points and 5.3 rebounds in 23.6 minutes in eight games as a reserve.

Grizzlies' John Konchar: Packs stat sheet
Rotowire
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.
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.

Grizzlies' John Konchar: Modest line in Friday's win
Rotowire
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.
Konchar continues to start for the Grizzlies, although his production of late has begun to decline. He has been a top-100 player over the past month but has seen that fall outside the top 150 in the last three games. He remains a viable asset, thanks primarily 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.

Rotowire
Konchar is questionable for Friday's game against the Pelicans due to left calf soreness.
