Memphis Grizzlies score, live game updates vs. Knicks: Grizzlies down to 8 active players

The Memphis Grizzlies will be very shorthanded for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks.

Jaren Jackson Jr. is listed as doubtful on the Grizzlies' injury report for Saturday's game with a knee contusion, the same injury that forced him to sit in Tuesday's win over Dallas. Desmond Bane (ankle) is designated as out following an ankle injury suffered in Friday's loss to the Clippers. Santi Aldama and Marcus Smart are both out as well, and Ja Morant was ruled out for the season earlier this week with a shoulder injury that required surgery.

The Knicks had a five-game winning streak snapped Thursday in a 128-124 loss at Dallas. Jalen Brunson is playing the best basketball of his career, while Julius Randle is very capable as a 1A option for New York.

Follow along with our live game updates below, with tip-off scheduled after 7 p.m. CT.

Vince Williams Jr. continues to make the most of his opportunities. He has 10 points in the first quarter as the Grizzlies have the lead after 12 minutes.
