Grizzlies vs. Heat Injury Report Revealed

In this story:
The Memphis Grizzlies will face the Miami Heat on Sunday, and after resting multiple key players in their last preseason game, they could have a more traditional rotation for this game. Per ESPN's official injury status for the Grizzlies, the players listed are Jaren Jackson Jr., Desmond Bane, Derrick Rose, Marcus Smart, and Brandon Clarke; however, Clarke is the only player listed with an injury that's more significant than day-to-day.
Jackson Jr., Bane, and Rose are each listed by ESPN because of their absence in the Grizzlies' last preseason game, but there are no real injuries to report for any of them, indicating they could be back in the lineup vs. Miami on Sunday. The status of Marcus Smart is still questionable, since he is dealing with a minor abdomen injury, so his official status will likely receive an update closer to game time.
As for the Heat, their injury report looks similar to what Memphis has listed, since Jimmy Butler, Caleb Martin, Nikola Jovic, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Josh Richardson, Kevin Love, Tyler Herro, Kyle Lowry, Bam Adebayo, and R.J. Hampton all missed their last preseason game. While Hampton, Richardson, Jaquez, Jovic, and Martin all have actual injuries listed, none of them are considered more significant than day-to-day, which leaves their statuses questionable for this game.
With most teams taking a cautious approach to the preseason, the injury reports are subject to change up until game time. As of right now, ESPN's official injury report has several players listed for both Miami and Memphis due to their absences last game, but it's likely that many of them suit up for this one.
