Small (rest) is out for Tuesday's Summer League game against the Hawks, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Small joins a number of starters on the sidelines for the Grizzlies on Tuesday. His next opportunity to play comes Friday in Las Vegas against the Bulls.

Small finished with 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-3 3Pt), nine assists, two rebounds and two steals in 21 minutes of Sunday's 111-74 Salt Lake City Summer League win over the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

The Grizzlies handled business early, so the starters had low workloads Sunday. Small appeared in 41 regular-season games for the Grizzlies in 2025-26, averaging 9.7 points and 3.7 assists in 20.2 minutes per contest. With the Grizzlies in the early stages of a rebuild, he'll have a decent path to minutes at point guard.

Small (thigh) ended with 18 points (7-19 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two steals and one assist across 26 minutes during Sunday's 132-101 loss to the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

Small, who signed a two-year, two-way contract with Memphis last summer after going undrafted out of West Virginia, helped pick up the slack for the depleted Grizzlies down the stretch. The guard had missed the Grizzlies' previous four games due to a left thigh contusion but shed the injury tag ahead of the season finale. Overall, Small averaged 9.7 points, 3.7 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.5 three-pointers in 20.2 minutes per game while shooting 46.5 percent from the field over his 41 appearances for Memphis. Despite acquitting himself well when he was available, Small could face an uphill battle to earn a consistent role on a healthier Grizzlies club in 2026-27.

Small (thigh) is available for Sunday's game against the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

Small missed three straight games due to a left thigh contusion before being cleared to return against the Jazz on Friday. He didn't end up playing against Utah, though Adama Bal (ankle) will hit the inactive list Sunday, so Small could return to the rotation and see significant minutes for the shorthanded Grizzlies.

Small (thigh) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

Small was made available ahead of Friday's loss to Utah following a three-game stint on the inactive list, though he didn't see the floor. The rookie second-rounder is likely to suit up for Sunday's regular-season finale and could see increased playing time if Walter Clayton (hip) or Adama Bal (ankle) is ruled out.

Small (thigh) is available for Friday's game against the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Small will shed his questionable tag and return from a three-game absence due to a left thigh contusion. The Grizzlies will be very shorthanded, so the rookie second-rounder is expected to see significant burn. He has started each of his last seven appearances, during which he has averaged 12.1 points, 3.9 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 25.3 minutes per showing.

Small (thigh) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Small is in jeopardy of missing a fourth straight game due to a left thigh contusion. Adama Bal, Lucas Williamson and Jahmai Mashack would be candidates for increased burn if Small is ruled out.

Small (thigh) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game in Denver.

EDGE Analysis

This will be Small's third consecutive game on the inactive list, and it's not encouraging that he continues to get ruled out a day in advance of tipoff. For now, he should be considered highly questionable for Friday's game in Utah.

Small (thigh) is out for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Small is now going to be in street clothes for both ends of this back-to-back set with a bruised left thigh. With the Grizzlies ravaged by injuries, Lucas Williamson and Adama Bal should see extra opportunities in the backcourt Monday.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.
