99 Jae Crowder SF

Crowder (ankle) won't play Saturday against the Wizards, Anthony Sain of Sports Illustrated reports.

Left ankle soreness will force Crowder to miss his first game of the season. Kyle Anderson will start in his place.

Crowder is listed as questionable for Saturday's tilt with Washington due to left ankle soreness.

Crowder appears to have suffered an ankle injury in Friday's loss to Milwaukee. Despite the apparent injury, he was able to play 33 minutes, generating a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds. Look for an update on Crowder's status closer to tipoff clarifying his availability. If he's held out, look for Kyle Anderson or Solomon Hill to enter the starting lineup.

Crowder (illness) has been cleared to play Monday against Golden State, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

Crowder was deemed questionable earlier in the day due to illness, but he's evidently feeling well enough to take the court and should start Monday's matchup. He's averaging 11.6 points and 5.3 rebounds over his last seven games.

Crowder is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against Golden State due to a illness.

Crowder was a late addition to the injury report ahead of Monday's matchup. The Marquette product likely caught the bug sometime after Memphis' most recent contest against Utah on Saturday. If Crowder is unavailable Monday, Solomon Hill and Marko Guduric will presumably see increased roles.

Crowder had 12 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3PT, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists in 33 minutes during Sunday's 115-107 win at Minnesota.

Crowder has scored in double digits in four of his last six games, but he also does a good job in peripheral stats such as rebounds and assists. He is never going to be much of a scoring threat, but he contributes steadily on both ends of the court to be rostered in most formats.

Crowder had 21 points (8-13 FG, 4-9 3PT, 1-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 34 minutes during Saturday's 109-108 loss against the Lakers.

Crowder can do a little bit of everything and while he doesn't stand out in any particular category, he's had double-digit points and/or rebounds in three of his last four games, while also dishing out at least three assists in each of those game. The veteran will try to keep up his solid play Monday on the road against the Pacers.

Crowder supplied 15 points (5-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 114-95 loss to the Warriors.

Crowder logged his second double-double in the last three games while hauling in a season high rebounding total. He has also handed out at least four dimes six times through 14 appearances, with his assist average (3.0) representing a sizable increase compared to his previous best mark (2.2 in 2016-17).

Crowder had 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3PT), 10 rebounds and four assists in 31 minutes during Friday's 107-106 win over Utah.

Crowder registered his first double-double of the season, while this was the second time in his last three outings he has grabbed 10 rebounds. He is not going to stand out in any particular category, but he can fill the stat sheet on any given night due to his ability to impact the game on both ends of the court.

Crowder had 18 points (6-12 Fg, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists, three steals, and two blocks in 31 minutes during Saturday's 138-122 loss to Dallas.

Crowder had a terrific all-around game Saturday, continuing his strong start to the season. Despite shooting just 37 percent from the floor, Crowder is putting up top-80 numbers in 9-category leagues. Given the Grizzlies are likely to fall out of playoff contention at some point and the assumed development of their youth, this would appear to be Crowder's fantasy ceiling. He is fine to roster right now but could fall away at any point.

Crowder (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Crowder was listed as probable due to the back soreness, so it's not a major surprise to see he'll be suiting up Wednesday. The veteran forward is averaging 8.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 30.3 minutes through six games this season.

Crowder is dealing with back soreness and is probable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Crowder had eight points, five rebounds, two assists and three steals in 29 minutes during Monday's loss to the Rockets, and he apparently picked up the back issue during the contest. It doesn't appear as though the 29-year-old is in serious danger of missing the game, but he'll have his status updated sometime Wednesday.

Crowder supplied six points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal in 38 minutes Sunday in the Grizzlies' 134-133 overtime win over the Nets.

Crowder played the hero in the Grizzlies' first victory of the season, drilling a three-pointer as the clock expired in overtime for what was the first game-winning shot of his eight-year career. The veteran appears to have a fairly secure role as the Grizzlies' starting small forward, as he's cleared 30 minutes in each of Memphis' three contests to date.

Crowder ended with 13 points (5-13 FG, 3-10 3Pt), nine rebounds and three assists in 31 minutes during Friday's 110-102 loss to Chicago.

Crowder has likely cemented himself as the starting small forward after a solid performance Friday. He provides the young Grizzlies core with veteran leadership both on and off the floor. Kyle Anderson could work his way into the discussion as the starter but as of now, it appears as though it is Crowder's job to lose. He doesn't have a very high ceiling but could be streamed in as a cheap source of three's and steals.

Crowder is not listed on the injury report for Friday's preseason game against the Spurs.

As expected, Crowder will be available for Memphis' final preseason game after missing Wednesday's exhibition for rest purposes.

Crowder will rest for Wednesday's game against Oklahoma City.

It's simply a veteran's day off for Crowder, who will have one more chance to play in the preseason (Friday) before the regular season arrives next week.

Crowder poured in 15 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and added five rebounds, one assist and one block across 23 minutes during the Grizzlies' 108-94 preseason win over New Zealand on Tuesday.

A key component of the offseason trade that sent Mike Conley to the Jazz, Crowder showed off some floor-spacing skills in the victory. The veteran posted a solid 11.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists across 27.1 minutes for Utah during the 2018-19 campaign, but he disappointing generated his worst shooting percentage (39.9) since his rookie 2012-13 season. Crowder should be a valuable component off the bench for the Grizzlies while backing up both the small forward and power forward spots.

Crowder -- plus Grayson Allen, Kyle Korver, the 23rd pick in Thursday's Draft and a future first-round pick -- has been traded to the Grizzlies in exchange for Mike Conley, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Crowder played a sixth-man role with the Jazz last season, averaging 11.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists across 27.1 minutes. He'll be entering his age 28 season next year, and it's possible he sees his role increase with the rebuilding Grizzlies.

Crowder collected 15 points (5-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and 10 rebounds in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 100-93 Game 5 loss to the Rockets.

Crowder couldn't quite replicate the outstanding offensive performance he put forth in Monday's Game 4 victory. However, he did manage his first double-double since March 8 in this one. Crowder reached double figures in scoring in consecutive games to end the campaign, which helps ease the sting of his three straight single-digit efforts to start the series.

Crowder finished with 23 points (8-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, two steals, and one assist in 33 minutes during Monday's 107-91 victory over Houston.

Crowder came out aggressive Monday, providing an impact on both ends of the floor as the Jazz took Game 4. It was certainly an improved performance by Crowder who has had an indifferent season by all accounts. Game 5 will be in Houston on Wednesday and the Jazz will need much of the same from the veteran if they are to spring an upset.

Crowder will start Saturday against the Rockets in Game 3 of their Western Conference first-round playoff series, David Locke of the Jazz Radio Network reports.

Crowder averaged 7.0 points and 5.0 rebounds over 19.5 minutes through the first two games of the series. Derrick Favors will instead come off the bench as the Jazz look to overcome a two-game deficit.
