Hendricks recorded 11 points (3-14 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 28 minutes of Tuesday's 96-82 Summer League loss to the Hawks.
Hendricks, who has three years of NBA experience, will be frustrated with this line. Through two exhibitions, he's shooting 40.0 percent from the field with 11.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists.

Grizzlies' Taylor Hendricks: More competition for minutes
Rotowire
The Grizzlies' selection of Cameron Boozer with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft creates additional frontcourt competition, but Hendricks (thumb) should still have an opportunity to carve out a significant role entering 2026-27.
Acquired from Utah in the Jaren Jackson trade, the 22-year-old showed encouraging flashes after arriving in Memphis, averaging double figures while displaying his defensive versatility and floor-spacing ability. Boozer's arrival could reduce some of Hendricks' offensive opportunities, but the former lottery pick remains an intriguing developmental piece as the Grizzlies continue building their young core.

Grizzlies' Taylor Hendricks: Scores 16 in efficient outing
Rotowire
Hendricks ended with 16 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 136-119 loss to the Nuggets.
Even though Hendricks has missed three of the Grizzlies' last nine games due to minor injuries, he's been starting regularly when available, and he could be a decent option to stream if you need frontcourt depth late in the season. He's averaging 8.0 points and 5.0 rebounds in 22.7 minutes per game in those six outings, however, so his fantasy upside is still limited despite his starting role.
