Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies
Konchar and Jones being available for Memphis is massive – helps the reserves immensely, especially Tyus. His steadying presence was missed on Monday. Now with Ja Morant back expect to see a more efficient run on both ends when Ja has to sit. – 9:10 PM
Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies
That’s it for a pregame unlike any other. Stick with us – the COVID wildfire hitting the NBA may have caught up with the Grizzlies (hopefully not – wishing the best to Coach Jenkins and anyone else impacted). – 9:03 PM
Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
According to Grizzlies PR, they plan to sent an update regarding Jenkins’ status before the start of the game tonight. – 9:03 PM
Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies
Rajakovic says that Steph Curry is “probably the best shooter in the history of the game” and says that Memphis must be ready for the ball movement and physicality of the Warriors on both ends – 9:02 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Grizzlies assistant coach Darko Rajakovic is taking questions from the media. Taylor Jenkins is awaiting a test result. – 9:00 PM
Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
The Grizzlies are waiting for a test result from Taylor Jenkins, so assistant coach Darko Rajakovic is in for Jenkins. – 8:56 PM

Most points in a qtr this season.
Steph Curry (25)
Kemba Walker (23)
Seth Curry (23) – 8:56 PM
Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
Thunder don’t have Derrick Favors (rest) tonight so they will be going small and starting rookie Jeremiah Robinson-Earl at center. Rookies Aaron Wiggins and Josh Giddey also join Robinson-Earl in OKC’s starting lineup. – 8:34 PM

Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Gary Payton II will start today in place of Jordan Poole for the Warriors and will guard Ja Morant. GP has been a menace defensively this season. Going to be a fun matchup with Morant and Payton. Ja scored 30 and 35 in the last two games against Golden State. – 8:22 PM

Per Warriors coach Steve Kerr: Asst coach Kenny Atkinson returns tonight but asst coach Mike Brown will not. Health/safety protocols – 8:22 PM

To suggest Memphis and Golden State a rivalry is “a long ways off” according to Steve Kerr.
