NEW ORLEANS – The Grizzlies bring a four-game winning streak into New Orleans on Friday night, but could also be burdened with a potential major void in their power rotation when they face No. 1 draft pick Zion Williamson and the Pelicans.
Already set to be without starting power forward Jaren Jackson Jr. as he serves a one-game league suspension, Memphis could also be missing backup rookie power forward Brandon Clarke due to hip soreness. Neither Jackson nor Clarke participated in the team’s morning shootaround at Smoothie King Center in advance of Friday’s game against the Pelicans.
