Top Jay Huff News

  • Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Remains out

    Huff (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Raptors.

    Huff hasn't played since suffering an ankle injury during a Dec. 15 loss to the Lakers. His next chance to suit up will come Friday in New Orleans. He's day-to-day, according to Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian, so he might have a shot at playing in the second leg of this back-to-back set.

  • Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Won't play against Atlanta

    Huff (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hawks.

    Huff will be sidelined for a second straight game due to a left ankle sprain, and his next opportunity to play will be against the Clippers on Monday. Huff's absence should mean more minutes for Brandon Clarke and Santi Aldama off the bench.

  • Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Ruled out for Thursday

    Huff is out for Thursday's game against the Warriors due to a left ankle sprain.

    Huff will miss a game for the first time this season. However, his absence won't impact the Grizzlies' rotation significantly. The big man is averaging just 14.6 minutes per game in December, putting up 3.7 points and 0.7 rebounds per contest.

  • Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Questionable to play Sunday

    Huff is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers due to left knee soreness.

    Huff could be in danger of missing a game for the first time this season. The big man has seen steady minutes off the bench for Memphis, but he isn't playing enough to be relevant in most fantasy formats. He's averaging 9.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 0.7 blocks per game over his last 10 appearances, all of them coming off the bench.

  • Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Good to go

    Huff (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Lakers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

    Huff carried a questionable tag into Sunday's contest due to left knee soreness, but he will officially be active. Huff could see a decreased role going forward due to Zach Edey (ankle) being back in the lineup.

  • Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Pours in 17 points

    Huff supplied 17 points (6-14 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 24 minutes during Sunday's 140-112 win over Washington.

    Huff had the hot hand off the bench as he produced his 14th game of the season with double-digit points. His lack of peripheral stats makes him a tough sell outside of deeper formats, however, as he's averaging 9.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.6 blocks and 1.8 three-pointers through five December outings.

  • Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Fails to impress again

    Huff totaled eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one rebound and one steal in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 121-116 loss to the Mavericks.

    Huff continues to play as the primary backup behind fill-in starter Brandon Clarke. While it has been a great opportunity for Huff, his production of late has been trending in the wrong direction. Over the past three games, he has averaged just 5.0 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.7 combined steals and blocks in 13.3 minutes per game. With Zach Edey likely returning from an ankle injury soon, Huff's opportunity could be about to come to an unceremonious end.

  • Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Limited minutes in loss

    Huff supplied six points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one rebound across 13 minutes during Tuesday's 122-110 loss to the Nuggets.

    Huff managed just 13 minutes despite the fact the Grizzlies were without Zach Edey due to an ankle injury. While Brandon Clarke continues to start at center, there had been some hope that Huff would step into a larger role. Up against a Nuggets team without their own starting center, Nikola Jokic (personal), this may have been an unfortunate matchup for Huff. He remains an elite per-minute producer, and while this was not a great outing, his role is worth monitoring moving forward.

  • Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Moves back to bench

    Huff is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Warriors, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

    Huff will return to the bench for this game with Brandon Clarke (toe) returning to the first unit. Huff is averaging 10.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game when coming off the bench in 11 appearances this season.

  • Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Making first career start

    Huff is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

    A 27-year-old journeyman and longtime G League standout, Huff will make his first career NBA start Wednesday. He's shined in a reserve role for the Grizzlies this season, averaging 10.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.9 blocks across 15.6 minutes per game. While he'll be part of the first unit, Huff is expected to play 20-to-25 minutes as Memphis will look to mix Zach Edey in at the five-spot.

  • Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Efficient in victory

    Huff recorded 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one block in 14 minutes during Wednesday's 131-114 win over the Lakers.

    Huff has now scored double-digit points in five of his nine appearances this season while coming off the bench. The 27-year-old big man is averaging 10.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 assists in 15.3 minutes. While Huff will likely come back down to Earth with his outside shooting, he is currently converting 52.9 percent of his 3.8 three-point attempts per contest.

  • Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Shines off bench

    Huff recorded 20 points (7-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 14 minutes during Saturday's 124-107 victory over the 76ers.

    Huff dominated in the post during Saturday's win, making 70.0 percent of his tries from the field while contributing at the rim with a swat. Playing time has been somewhat limited for the big man so far this season behind Zach Edey, so while his most recent appearance was impressive, it's unfair to expect this type of production from Huff moving forward.

  • Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Getting standard NBA contract

    The Grizzlies will convert Huff's two-way contract into a four-year standard NBA deal Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

    Huff has been excellent off Memphis' bench to begin the campaign, averaging 13.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in 19.0 minutes across three appearances. The Virginia product went undrafted in 2021 and has spent most of his career bouncing around the G League, making only 31 NBA appearances over the previous three seasons. He won the 2023 G League Defensive Player of the Year award and is looking to maintain a sizable role in a backcourt led by Jaren Jackson and Zach Edey.

  • Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Scores 18 points Saturday

    Huff closed with 18 points (7-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and one block in 19 minutes during Saturday's 124-111 victory over the Magic.

    Huff has been impressive through three regular-season games, and he has averaged 13.0 points and 3.3 rebounds while shooting 63.6 percent from the field across 19.0 minutes per game. The 27-year-old is on a two-way pact and buried in a deep Memphis frontcourt, though his play thus far bodes well for his playing time outside of the G League.

  • Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Generates 15 points from bench

    Huff produced 15 points (5-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and a steal across 23 minutes in Thursday's 119-94 loss to the Hornets.

    Huff is trying to stay out of the G League, and despite a crowded depth chart above him, Thursday's diverse line goes a long way toward his goal. He's now with his fourth team in his fourth season, and the Virginia product demonstrates special skills as a shooter and defender when given the opportunity, but only time will tell if he can impress enough to log some games with the big club.
