Quincy Pondexter scored a team-high 22 points on 7-of-11 shooting (including three treys) with three rebounds and two steals in the Grizzlies' 93-86 Game 4 loss on Monday.
The Spurs funneled action toward Pondexter and he responded on offense tonight, but this game was about the Grizzlies' big men getting completely outclassed and the other role players getting shut out. Marc Gasol lumbered about with 14 points on 5-of-12 shooting to go with five boards, five assists, one steal and three blocks, as both he and Zach Randolph (13 points, 4-of-13 FGs, eight boards, one steal, one block) played much worse than the stats suggested.

Quincy Pondexter - G/F - Grizzlies

Quincy Pondexter scored a team-high 17 points with one board and five 3-pointers in 29 minutes vs. the Spurs on Sunday.

He got hot in the third quarter and made the game close, but San Antonio responded with a 10-2 run to put the game out of reach. Pondexter had been fairly quiet in the playoffs with just 6.5 points per game, which is just a shade above his regular-season average of 6.4. He hit 5-of-9 from beyond the arc and chances are is that this will be his best game of the playoffs.

Quincy Pondexter - G/F - Grizzlies

The Grizzlies clawed their way to a two-point win in Sacramento on Sunday, aided by Quincy Pondexter's season-high 17 points on 7-of-13 shooting.

Q-Pon added five rebounds and two steals in just 23 minutes, and he even hit one 3-pointer. Darrell Arthur (back) was a late scratch tonight, and surprisingly it was Pondexter picking up most of the slack rather than Ed Davis (two points, seven boards, two blocks in 18 minutes).

Quincy Pondexter - G/F - Grizzlies

Quincy Pondexter scored 14 points off the bench on Monday, adding five boards, one steal and four 3-pointers in a 107-94 loss to the Wizards.

He scored just 2.2 points per game in his previous five, so this line comes out of nowhere. The Grizzlies need some bodies to help fill the void left by Marc Gasol's 35.2 minutes per game, so he's on the radar in deeper leagues.

Quincy Pondexter - G/F - Grizzlies

Quincy Pondexter (illness) played 22 minutes on Wednesday and had four points and four rebounds.

Pondexter was questionable coming into the game but wound up playing nearly half of the action despite feeling under the weather.

Quincy Pondexter - G/F - Grizzlies

Quincy Pondexter has food poisoning and is questionable to play Wednesday night.

The Grizzlies are already down Zach Randolph and Darrell Arthur, so losing Pondexter would put coach Lionel Hollins in a bit of a bind. If Pondexter can't play, look for Austin Daye and Ed Davis to get a lot more minutes.

Quincy Pondexter - G/F - Grizzlies

Quincy Pondexter hit 3-of-4 shots and two 3-pointers for 12 points, one rebound and two assists in 26 minutes off the bench on Wednesday.

Starter Tayshaun Prince also played 26 minutes, but had just four points and eight rebounds on 2-of-8 shooting. The Grizzlies seem to be content starting the veteran Prince right now, but Pondexter had been getting 18 minutes a night since returning from a sprained MCL in his knee. He's starting to come on a bit, and owners in very deep leagues should probably put him on their radar.

Quincy Pondexter - G/F - Grizzlies

Quincy Pondexter returned from a knee injury on Tuesday and had 10 points, three rebounds, three steals, a block and a 3-pointer in 22 minutes.

This was a nice game for QP, but he'd have to do this several more times before we'd think about picking him up.

Quincy Pondexter - G/F - Grizzlies

Quincy Pondexter, who played on Sunday after missing five weeks with an MCL sprain, will not play again until after the All-Star break.

The Grizzlies are apparently concerned they may be rushing him back to early, so QP will be in street clothes until next week.

Quincy Pondexter - G/F - Grizzlies

Quincy Pondexter returned on Sunday after missing more than five weeks of action with a sprained MCL, going scoreless in four minutes off the bench.

Lionel Hollins said he wasn't going to deploy Pondexter tonight, but wound up giving him some burn in the first half. Q-Pon hasn't played since Dec. 29 but he also didn't require surgery, so we expect to see him in early-season form after the All-Star break. The Grizzlies' bench has thinned out and Pondexter is shooting 42.3 percent from downtown this season, so he's worth keeping an eye on.

Quincy Pondexter - G/F - Grizzlies

Quincy Pondexter (knee) was back at full-contact practice on Saturday.

He could return as soon as Sunday, but Tuesday's game seems to be a more realistic expectation. QP is a good fit with Rudy Gay now in Toronto and 24 minutes per game could be within his grasp. Although, owners in deep leagues should see how it plays out at almost any depth and Tayshaun Prince should also be viewed as a hold for now. Jerryd Bayless has been consistent and figures to be the best option on the wing for Memphis.

Quincy Pondexter - G/F - Grizzlies

The Grizzlies expect Quincy Pondexter (knee) to play against Sacramento on Tuesday.

He's been out with an MCL sprain since December 17, so it's obviously a fairly serious sprain to force him to miss that much time. Pondexter played 22 minutes per game in his games off the bench while minute-eating Rudy Gay was active, so he might be able to get to 24 per night with Tayshaun Prince now holding down the fort at small forward. He can be left on almost all waiver wires.

Quincy Pondexter - G/F - Grizzlies

Quincy Pondexter (sprained MCL) has been cleared to practice without contact.

Pondexter ran full speed and dunked Monday, but there's still no official timeline for his return. He won't do enough when healthy to help fantasy owners, but he will be a nice bench piece for coach Lionel Hollins.

Quincy Pondexter - G/F - Grizzlies

Quincy Pondexter (sprained knee) ran full speed and dunked on Monday, though he remains without a specific return date.

The Grizzlies are 11-8 since he went down in late December, and his return will be a nice boost for the depth chart, especially with Lionel Hollins using a tight eight-man rotation.

Quincy Pondexter - G/F - Grizzlies

Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins indicated that he plans to use an eight-man rotation until Quincy Pondexter (knee) returns.

Newcomers Ed Davis and Austin Daye, who both played just five minutes in their Memphis debut, will have to prove to Hollins that they can be regular contributors. Tayshaun Prince saw a whopping 32 minutes off the bench, and every starter played at least 34 minutes on Friday. It's time to cut bait on Davis if you haven't already, and it doesn't appear Daye is headed for a rebirth in Memphis right now.
