  • Grizzlies' Xavier Tillman: Sticking in Memphis

    The Grizzlies exercised Tillman's $1.93 million team option for 2023-24 on Monday.

    With Steven Adams (knee) and Brandon Clarke (Achilles) sidelined, Tillman saw an expanded role at the end of the 2022-23 campaign and finished with career highs in points (7.0), rebounds (5.0), assists (1.6) and steals (1.0) per game. The 24-year-old started 12 of Memphis' 18 playoff games, averaging 5.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 18.9 minutes. Even if Adams and Clarke are back to full strength next season, Tillman should still carve out a solid reserve role.

    Tillman delivered one of the best performances of his career when the Grizzlies needed him the most, outplaying Anthony Davis en route to a huge Game 2 win. It was Tillman's first double-double since March 18, and he figures to remain in the starting unit with Steven Adams (knee) and Brandon Clarke (Achilles) out.

  • Grizzlies' Xavier Tillman: Out Wednesday

    Tillman (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game in New Orleans.

    With Tillman watching from the sidelines Wednesday night, Santi Aldama will likely get a spot start and Kenneth Lofton might be able to get into the rotation. Considering Tillman is skipping this game due only to some soreness in his ankle, there's a decent chance he'll be able to return for Friday's game in Milwaukee.

  • Grizzlies' Xavier Tillman: Status uncertain Wednesday

    Tillman was one rebound away from a double-double in his second straight game. However, he was able to tie his season high for assists Wednesday. Tillman is averaging 11.4 points, 9.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.4 steals in 29.2 minutes across his last five outings.

  • Grizzlies' Xavier Tillman: Questionable Wednesday

    Tillman is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Clippers due to right ankle soreness.

    Tillman has started in Memphis' last 17 games, so his potential absence could move Santi Aldama into the starting lineup or force the Grizzlies to go small. If Tillman is unable to suit up, his next chance to do so will be Friday's rematch with the Clippers.

  • Grizzlies' Xavier Tillman: Nears double-double in win

    Tillman ended Tuesday's 113-108 win over the Magic with 20 points (10-12 FG), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal across 35 minutes.

    Tillman has had limited production on the scoreboard in recent weeks, but he reached the 20-point threshold for the first time this season Tuesday while also coming within one rebound of a double-double. Over 15 appearances this month, he's averaged 10.2 points and 6.4 rebounds in 27.0 minutes per game.

  • Grizzlies' Xavier Tillman: Back on track Sunday

    Tillman finished Sunday's 123-119 win over the Hawks with 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals over 31 minutes.

    Tillman turned in a strong two-way effort Sunday, rewarding anyone who snapped him up off waivers. After a stretch of mediocre performances, Tillman eclipsed 30 minutes for the first time in over a week. While he is locked in as the starting center, the Grizzlies are not afraid to run with Jaren Jackson to close games, making Tillman a viable, yet unpredictable streaming option.
