Quincy Pondexter

Pondexter solid from downtown

News: Grizzlies forward Quincy Pondexter tallied 14 points and five rebounds during Memphis' 107-94 loss at Washington on Monday night. Pondexter connected on 5 of 9 from the field, including 4 of 5 from 3-point range, for his highest scoring total since Dec. 22 against Houston (14). He also chipped in a steal while logging 27 minutes of playing time, just one minute shy of the team lead off the bench for the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Scoring hasn't come easy for Pondexter as he entered Monday's game averaging just 6.3 points per game. But his scoring performance against the defensively challenged Wizards -- who were missing four starters -- represented just the fifth time he has reached double figures in scoring this month. Pondexter won't help much in any other categories and should continue to be viewed as a marginal Fantasy option the rest of the season.

Pondexter overcomes food poisoning

News: Memphis forward Quincy Pondexter played through food poisoning on Wednesday against Portland. Pondexter still saw 22 minutes off the bench and went 2 of 6 from the field to score four points. He grabbed four rebounds and added an assist.
Analysis: Pondexter was back to single digits in scoring after being in double figures in each of his previous three games. He's been playing better basketball but is still just a low-end Fantasy option in most formats.

Pondexter with food poisoning

News: Memphis forward Quincy Pondexter is a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against the Blazers due to food poisoning, reports the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
Analysis: Pondexter has scored in double figures in his last three games and should get over his illness rather quickly. He's been playing better basketball but is still just a low-end Fantasy option in most formats, when healthy.

Pondexter back in action

News: Grizzlies forward Quincy Pondexter was able to get back on the court for Tuesday's contest against the Pistons. Pondexter, who has missed 23 of the past 24 games due to a sprained MCL in his left knee, finished with 10 points on 4 of 6 shooting from the field in the 105-91 win. He also added three rebounds, three steals, one block and one assist to his stat line.
Analysis: Pondexter admitted he came back to early from his injury the first time around, but he was able to use the All-Star break to get healthy. The third-year swingman will continue to be used as a scorer off the bench and he is actually leading the team in 3-point shooting at 41.8 percent. Still, with season averages of 6.4 points and 2.2 rebounds, Pondexter should only be owned in the deepest of formats at this point in the year.

Pondexter out until after ASB

News: Memphis forward Quincy Pondexter was ruled out for Tuesday's contest against the Kings as he continues to deal with a sprained MCL in his left knee. Pondexter, who was able to get back on the court in Memphis' win over the T'Wolves on Sunday for the first time since Dec. 19 due to his injury, told the team's official website that he came back too soon. “He found out it was tough,” coach Lionel Hollins said. “He thought because he was shooting in practice that he would be able to come out and play the same way in the games. I told him when the lights come on, the intensity is higher. There’s more physicality. And those shots don’t look so easy. He was sore and we decided to sit him back down and get him some more rest."
Analysis: Pondexter is still dealing with a great deal of discomfort in his left knee, so the team decided to shut him down until after the break. The 24-year-old will continue to rehab over the next week and the Grizzlies are hoping he will be ready to go when Fantasy Week 17 (Feb. 18-24), so owners should keep an eye on his status heading into the next scoring period. However, it remains unknown exactly how much playing time Pondexter will see once he does return as he was seeing around 22 minutes prior to his injury and had averaged 6.4 points and 2.2 rebounds over that span. At this point in the season, owners should consider Pondexter merely a marginal option.

Quincy Pondexter

Pondexter back from long layoff

News: Grizzlies forward Quincy Pondexter logged four minutes during his return from an extended absence due to a knee injury during Memphis' 105-88 win over Minnesota on Sunday night. Pondexter, who had been sidelined since Dec. 29 with a sprained MCL, went scoreless after missing his lone attempt from the field, a 3-point shot. He also committed one foul while coming off the bench for the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Despite pacing the team in 3-point shooting (minimum five attempts per game), Pondexter does not receive extended playing time with Memphis and logged fewer than 25 minutes in eight of his last 10 games prior to the knee injury. He entered Sunday's game averaging just 6.7 points per game as he puts up roughly 5.5 shots a night. Continue to consider him a low-end option only in Rotisserie formats for now.

Pondexter could play Sunday

News: Memphis forward Quincy Pondexter was able to take part in contact drills on Saturday and could return from his Grade 2 MCL sprain in his left knee Sunday against Minnesota, reports the Memphis Commercial Appeal. Pondexter, who has been out since Dec. 29, is now listed as day to day for the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Pondexter is not yet cleared to play as doctors still have to monitor him going forward, but he could be back as early as against the Wolves Sunday. The third-year swingman was leading the team from 3-point range before suffering the injury. Pondexter plays a vital role for the Grizzlies, but he does little scoring, and can be ignored in most Fantasy formats.

Quincy Pondexter

Pondexter on verge of return

News: According to a local Memphis radio status, Grizzles forward Quincy Pondexter is expected to make his return from a knee injury Tuesday against the Kings. Pondexter has been out since the end of December with a sprained MCL in his left knee, but has been practicing in recent days. Tuesday’s game is the Grizzlies’ last before the All-Star break.
Analysis: Pondexter appeared in 27 games prior to his injury, and was averaging career high 6.7 points per game. He provides badly-needed floor spacing for the Grizzlies, and should slip right back into the 23.1 minutes he was averaging per game prior to the injury. Pondexter plays a vital role for the Grizzlies, but he does little scoring, and can be ignored in most Fantasy formats.

Pondexter cleared for non-contact

News: The Commercial Appeal reports Grizzlies forward Quincy Pondexter, who has been out since late December with an MCL sprain in his left knee, has been cleared for non-contact practices. He was on the floor Thursday.
Analysis: Pondexter did run all full speed Monday, while also dunking and shooting mid-range shots. It appears he is on track for a post-All-Star-break return. Pondexter was seeing good minutes prior to getting hurt and still might see decent minutes now that Rudy Gay is in Toronto. But Pondexter doesn't have great offensive upside, so he has marginal Fantasy appeal when healthy.

Pondexter dunks basketball

News: Memphis small forward Quincy Pondexter, who has been out with a sprained knee, was able to run at full speed on Monday, including dunking a basketball, reports the Memphis Commercial Appeal. That said, Pondexter remains without an expected timetable to return for the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Pondexter's return to action is going to be a solid boost for the depth chart for Memphis, but he was not a huge part of the rotation prior to the injury. Pondexter was averaging 6.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.2 3-pointers per game before suffering his injury and could be asked to do some more scoring upon his return with Rudy Gay out of town now. His return is on the horizon, so Fantasy owners can keep him stashed in the deeper formats.

Pondexter eying February return

News: Grizzlies forward Quincy Pondexter (knee) said Monday he is hoping to resume basketball activities in two weeks, the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports. Pondexter has been sidelined since last December with a strained MCL and is still using crutches to move around in his recovery.
Analysis: Pondexter could end up missing a full month with his serious knee injury as he is not expected to return to game action until at least early February. The 24-year-old has been a steady option off the bench for the Grizzlies, connecting on 41.8 percent of his attempts for a career-high 6.7 points per game. However, he doesn't contribute much in other areas and is viewed as a low-end option in deeper Fantasy formats when healthy.

Pondexter has 'grade two' MCL sprain

News: The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports that Grizzlies forward Quincy Pondexter will be out indefinetely after an MRI revealed a "grade two" MCL sprain Sunday. Pondexter suffered the injury Saturday night against the Nuggets and was carried off the court. Pondexter and Wayne Ellington bumped knees in the third quarter of the game. Ellington is expected to fill the void off the bench.
Analysis: Pondexter led the Grizzlies with a 42.3 shooting percentage before getting hurt and was one team's most versatile player off the bench. According to the report, the injury may keep him sidelined for about a month though the team has yet to issue a timetable for his return. We'll continue to keep an eye on his progress moving forward. He has marginal Fantasy appeal, even when healthy.

Pondexter out with knee injury

News: Grizzlies forward Quincy Pondexter was carried off the court late in the third quarter with an apparent knee injury and did not return during Memphis' 81-72 win over Denver on Saturday night. Pondexter suffered a sprained MCL and will have an MRI on his knee Sunday, according to the Memphis Commercial Appeal. He finished with three points and a rebound in 16 minutes of playing time before departing.
Analysis: Pondexter's injury appears to be a serious issue as he was not able to put any weight on his leg while he was brought to the locker room. The 24-year-old returned to the bench Saturday after a one-game appearance in the starting lineup and his only made shot attempt was a 3-pointer. Pondexter normally averages 23.4 minutes per game but could be facing an extended layoff. Fantasy owners should keep tabs on his status.

Quincy Pondexter

Pondexter scores 13 as starter

News: Grizzlies small forward Quincy Pondexter took the start for Rudy Gay, who was not with the team due to personal reasons, Wednesday night against the 76ers. Pondexter didn't shoot well but scored 13 points on 3 of 10 shooting, including 3 of 8 from downtown, and drained all four of his free throws in a 99-89 defeat. He also chipped in with five rebounds, an assist and a steal in a season-high 39 minutes as a starter.
Analysis: Pondexter has logged in more than 30 minutes in a game for just the second time in December and is not known to log in that many minutes, especially behind Rudy Gay in the rotation. Gay should return to the team in time for their next game against the Nuggets Saturday night. The 24-year-old has marginal Fantasy value in deeper formats for now.

Pondexter sees big minutes

News: Memphis small forward Quincy Pondexter played 37 minutes off the bench on Tuesday night during an overtime win over the Suns. Pondexter only took nine shots but made them count as he hit four of them, including two 3-pointers, to score 16 points. He went 6 for 9 from the free throw line and added three rebounds, an assist and a steal.
Analysis: Pondexter does not usually see over 30 minutes in games, especially as he's averaging just 23 minutes per night on the year. He normally puts up minimal Fantasy statistics and we don't expect his performance Tuesday to become consistent anytime soon. The 24-year-old out of Washington has low-end Fantasy value at this time.

Pondexter in double figures

News: Memphis small forward Quincy Pondexter played well on Monday night in a win over Cleveland. Pondexter scored 10 points on 4 of 6 shooting over 22 minutes off the bench. He hit two 3-pointers in three attempts and added two boards and an assist.
Analysis: The 24-year-old out of Washington scored in double figures for the first time in a while on Monday night. Pondexter is not a consistent scoring threat off the bench for the Grizzlies, but he's a decent low-end source of 3-point shooting and steals. Still, his value only comes in the deepest of Fantasy leagues.

Pondexter shoots well off bench

News: After scoring just four points over the first two games, Grizzlies guard Quincy Pondexter had his best performance of the young season Monday night against the Jazz. He scored 14 points in 22 minutes off the bench in the 103-94 win. He went 5 for 8 from the field, including making both of his attempts from downtown, and made 2 of 3 free throws. Pondexter also chipped in with two rebounds and an assist in the victory.
Analysis: Pondexter averaged just 3.5 points with 1.6 rebounds through his first two seasons in the NBA and poses minimal Fantasy appeal going forward. Continue to ignore him in all formats.

Memphis picks up Pondexter's option

News: The Grizzlies picked up forward Quincy Pondexter's fourth-year option before Wednesday's season opener against the Clippers.
Analysis: Pondexter has averaged just 3.5 points with 1.6 rebounds so far in his career and poses minimal Fantasy appeal going forward. Continue to ignore him in all formats.

Pondexter healthy for finale

News: Grizzlies forward Quincy Pondexter had an MRI following his knee injury on Monday night, however prior to game time on Thursday against the Magic, coach Lionel Hollins told NBA.com all of his players were healthy for the finale, indicating that Pondexter’s injury was not serious.
Analysis: Pondexter is merely a reserve forward for the Grizzlies, who sees around 15-20 minutes per game. He is averaging just 4.3 points and 2.0 rebounds on the season, making him a player worth avoiding in all formats at this point in the season, even with the Grizzlies heading to the playoffs.

Pondexter dealing with knee issues

News: Grizzlies forward Quincy Pondexter left Monday night's contest against the Cavaliers with a left knee injury. Pondexter, who failed to score in the 109-101 win, is scheduled to have an MRI on Tuesday, according to coach Lionel Hollins.
Analysis: Pondexter is merely a reserve forward for the Grizzlies, who sees around 15-20 minutes per game. He is averaging just 4.3 points and 2.0 rebounds on the season, making him a player worth avoiding in all formats at this point in the season -- even when healthy.

Pondexter gets on the glass for Grizzlies

News: Memphis forward Quincy Pondexter had a career-high eight rebounds on Wednesday night against Dallas. Pondexter shot 3 for 5 from the field, missing his lone attempt from downtown, and hit both his foul shots. He finished with eight points, one steal and an assist in his 21 minutes off the bench. Memphis would go on to win the game, 96-85.
Analysis: Pondexter has been getting around 13 minutes of action over his last five games. Considering he's not getting a lot of time, Pondexter is averaging a nice 6.3 points and 3.0 boards per contest. He continues to come off the bench for the Grizzlies, so his Fantasy value is extremely low. Pondexter can be left on waivers in the majority of leagues moving forward.

Pondexter explodes for career high

News: After failing to score in three straight games, Memphis guard Quincy Pondexter tallied a career-high 17 points against Minnesota on Wednesday night. "It's seizing the opportunity," said Pondexter, in his second season out of Washington. "I've been blessed enough to be given this position with Tony being out." Despite his poor showing, coach Lionnel Hollins gave Pondexter another shot. "Coach believed in me enough to do it," Pondexter said. "He could have given it to a lot of other players. For some reason, he believed in me, and I can't let him down." Pondexter shot 50 percent from the floor and hit both his foul shots. He added two assists and six rebounds in his 36 minutes on the court, helping his team get the 85-80 win.
Analysis: Pondexter finally stepped up for Memphis, but Tony Allen should be returning soon. Pondexter, who was dealt to Memphis from New Orleans just prior to the start of the season, may have bought himself more playing time after this nice outing, but only time will tell. Fantasy owners should leave Pondexter on waivers in the majority of formats.

Pondexter getting some run

News: Memphis guard Quincy Pondexter has been getting a bit more run lately as Sam Young has been falling out of the rotation lately. Pondexter saw 12 minutes of court time on Tuesday night against Denver. He shot 1 for 3 from the field and 1 for 2 at the foul line. Pondexter finished with three points, two steals and two boards in Memphis' 100-97 overtime win.
Analysis: Pondexter isn't doing much with this playing time, which is bad news in Fantasy leagues. Pondexter, who was dealt to Memphis from New Orleans just prior to the start of the season, had his option picked up for another year last week. But the fact remains, that Pondexter is only averaging 4.8 points and 2.8 boards per game over his last four outings. Fantasy owners should continue to ignore Pondexter moving forward.

Pondexter has option picked up

News: The Grizzlies exercised their third-year option for G Quincy Pondexter, reports the Memphis Commercial Appeal. Pondexter, who was dealt to Memphis from New Orleans just prior to the start of the season, is averaging just 4.4 points and 2.1 rebounds for the Grizzlies through 16 games.
Analysis: Pondexter will be back in Memphis next year, although that doesn't really mean much to Fantasy owners at this point. The 23-year-old is seeing just under 15 minutes per game off the bench for coach Lionel Hollins, and he hasn't been able to do much with his restricted playing time. Unless Pondexter sees a major increase in minutes and production, he can be left on the waiver wire in all formats moving forward.

Quincy Pondexter

Pondexter can’t make an impact

News: After scoring a season-high 14 points five games ago, Grizzlies F Quincy Pondexter has struggled to get it going again. He hasn’t scored in double figures since that game, and he even failed to score at all in 16 minutes off the bench on Wednesday in a 93-87 win over his former team, the Hornets. He attempted three shots on the night, missing all of them while adding a rebound, assist and steal.
Analysis: Pondexter averaged 2.8 points per game last season with the Hornets as a rookie, and he has upped that to 4.8 per game this season. That is a very unimpressive total, however, one that leaves him pretty well useless in all Fantasy formats.
