Small (thigh) is out for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Small is going to miss the front end of this back-to-back set, and it's likely maintenance related. If that's the case, he could be back to face the Cavaliers on Monday.

Coward (back) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

With Sunday's game being the front end of a back-to-back set, the Grizzlies are leaning towards a maintenance day. With the way the team has handled rotations in recent weeks, it's not a lock that Coward plays the second leg either.

Spencer (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Milwaukee.

Spencer is in danger of missing his second straight game, which could result in major minutes for Adama Bal. Check back for official word on Spencer's status closer to Sunday's tipoff.

Mashack is listed out for Sunday's game against the Bucks after being placed in concussion protocol.

Mashack was diagnosed with the concussion after exiting Friday's 128-96 loss to the Raptors due to what the Grizzlies initially labeled as neck soreness. Sunday's contest marks the first of a back-to-back set, so the rookie second-round pick could have a tough time clearing the protocol ahead of Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

Clayton (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Clayton remains day-to-day after sitting out Friday's game against the Raptors. He's been cold lately, shooting 35.3 percent from the field over his last six games with 10.2 points, 5.2 assists and 2.0 rebounds.

Prosper (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Propser is set to return from a one-game absence and will likely start. He's been terrific over his last five games with averages of 17.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 23.8 minutes per contest.

Gisbon (foot) is probable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Gibson is trending towards a return after four games on the sidelines. He's likely to be an emergency depth option depending on how many Grizzlies are available.

Champagnie totaled 12 points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 21 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 152-136 loss to the Heat.

It was the fourth double-double of the season for the fifth-year forward, and his first since Jan. 24. Champagnie has scored in double digits in four straight games (one start) as he re-establishes himself as a regular part of the frontcourt rotation, averaging 14.3 points, 5.8 boards, 1.3 assists, 0.8 threes, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks in 23.3 minutes.

Jerome (ankle) won't play Sunday in Milwaukee.

This will be Jerome's seventh straight game on the sidelines, and it's not encouraging that he continues to get ruled out 24 hours in advance of tipoff. After Sunday's match, the Grizzlies will have just four games remaining on their schedule.

Brown tweaked his left ankle during Saturday's game against the Spurs in the third quarter and was unable to return. He supplied five points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 11 minutes.

The severity of the injury is unclear, but he was ineligible to return since he wasn't able to take part in the jump ball while being evaluated in the locker room. Brown can be considered questionable for Monday's game against Portland.
