Randolph (knee) did not participate in shootaround Tuesday and remains questionable to play against the Spurs, Rob Fischer of Sports 56 WHBQ in Memphis reports. |
Randolph is in danger of missing his fifth straight game, and his absence from shootaround is not overly encouraging. Still, the Grizzlies will wait to see how he's feeling during pregame warmups before making the final call. If Randolph is held out again, expect Jon Leuer to make another start. |

Randolph (knee) did some shooting drills today and remains questionable to play Tuesday against the Spurs, Ronald Tillery of the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports. |
Randloph has missed the Grizzlies' last four games since suffering the knee injury against Chicago on Dec. 19. A further update should come following Tuesday's shootaround, and if Randolph is ruled out for a fifth consecutive game, Jon Leuer will likely get another start. |
Sat Dec 27 2014 | 18:13 | Zach Randolph: (Knee) To Miss Fourth Straight Game Saturday |
Randolph (knee) is out for Saturday's game against the Heat, Tim Reynolds of the AP reports. |
This will be Randolph's fourth missed game, and the Grizzlies have missed him dearly, losing all three games he has missed. His next chance at a return will be Tuesday against the Spurs, so reports from practice until then will be telling. |
Sat Dec 27 2014 | 09:43 | Zach Randolph: (Knee) Doubtful Saturday |
Randolph (knee) is considered doubtful to play in Saturday's game against the Heat, The Commercial Appeal reports. |
Randolph has already missed three games with a knee injury and it seems like he's in line to miss his fourth-straight Saturday. The Grizzlies will likely wait until after Saturday's morning shootaround to officially decide whether or not he'll play. |
Fri Dec 26 2014 | 18:46 | Zach Randolph: (Knee) Out On Friday Versus Rockets |
Randolph is listed as out for Friday's game versus the Rockets, Chris Herrington of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports. |
Randolph sat out shootaround earlier in the day, so this is not all that surprising. The Grizzlies won't rush him back until he's returned to full health, and he can be considered questionable at best for the Grizzlies' next game on Saturday versus the Heat. Jon Leuer and Kosta Koufos have both started one of the games Randolph has missed thus far, so it's unclear who will draw the start in his absence on Friday versus the Rockets. |
Fri Dec 26 2014 | 18:43 | Zach Randolph: (Knee) Out Friday |
Randolph (knee) will not play against the Rockets on Friday, the Houston Chronicle reports. |
This outcome was somewhat expected since Randolph was unable to participate in Friday's morning shootaround. His next opportunity to get on the court will be against the Heat on Saturday. |

Randolph (knee) was unable to participate in Friday's morning shootaround and remains questionable against the Rockets, Rob Fischer of Sports 56 WHBQ Memphis reports. |
Randolph has missed the past two games for Memphis and also has been unable to participate in practice leading up to Friday. Considering all of this, it would be somewhat surprising if he ultimately plays against the Rockets, although he hasn't officially been ruled out yet. |

Randolph (knee) remains questionable for Friday's game against the Rockets, The Commercial Appeal reports. |
Randolph was unable to participate in Thursday's practice, which indicates he is still dealing with soreness in his knee. His status for Friday's game will likely be determined after the Grizzlies' morning shootaround or just before game time. |
Tue Dec 23 2014 | 16:26 | Randolph (knee) listed as questionable for Friday's game |
Randolph (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game, the Houston Chronicle's Jonathan Feigen reports. |
He has missed the last two games with a minor knee injury, but the Grizzlies will have some extra time off as they don't play Christmas Day, so hopefully the rest will allow Randolph to return to the court soon. In the event that he does not play Friday, Kosta Koufos and Jon Leuer will see extra time in the frontcourt. |
Mon Dec 22 2014 | 18:54 | Zach Randolph: (Knee) Out Monday |
Randolph (knee) is out for Monday's game versus the Jazz, Ronald Tillery of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports. |
Randolph sat out on Sunday versus the Cavaliers, and coach Dave Joerger has elected to give Randolph another night off to rest his sore knee on Monday. After Monday the Grizzlies are off until Friday, so Randolph will have some extra time to get healthy, and there's a chance he will be able to return for Friday's game versus the Rockets. |
Mon Dec 22 2014 | 14:35 | Randolph (knee) questionable for Monday's game versus Jazz |
Randolph (knee) is questionable for Monday's game versus the Jazz, Tony Jones of the Salt Lake Tribune reports. |
After missing Sunday's game versus the Cavaliers Randolph is listed as questionable for Monday. He won't be rushed back if his knee is still bothering him, but the injury also doesn't seem serious enough to keep him sidelined for too long. Jon Leuer started versus the Cavaliers on Sunday and played well, so he'd likely draw the start alongside Marc Gasol if Randolph receives another night off. |

Randolph (knee) did not make the trip to Cleveland for the Grizzlies' game Sunday, Brian Windhorst of ESPN reports. |
This news essentially rules Randolph out for the game Sunday barring some miraculous news of him traveling to the game by himself to play. His MRI came back clean after suffering some swelling in the knee after his last game, so Randolph is not expected to miss much more time. In his place Jon Leuer figures to see a significant minutes upgrade. |
Sat Dec 20 2014 | 13:37 | Zach Randolph: (Knee) Questionable Sunday |
Randolph is dealing with swelling in his right knee and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavs, the Memphis Commercial Appeal's Ronald Tillery reports. |
He had an MRI Saturday, which came back clean, but he will be held out of practice in an attempt to get the swelling down for Sunday's game. Randolph played just 22 minutes in the Grizzlies' last game, and if he were to sit out Sunday, Jon Leuer would stand to see an increased role. |

The double-double is basically expected, but the efficiency from the field was the cherry on top of an awesome night. Expect Randolph to continue producing numbers that make him a solid play regardless of the format. |
