The Memphis Grizzlies could be without several key contributors when they host the Sacramento Kings on Saturday night, with guards Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen Jr. listed as questionable and center Quinten Post considered doubtful.
Memphis (5-0) will look to maintain its undefeated start against Sacramento (0-5) at 8 p.m. ET in the opener of a four-game homestand.
According to Saturday morning's injury report, Jerome is dealing with upper back soreness, while Pippen is managing lower back soreness. Post is nursing a right ankle sprain.
Jerome's potential absence would represent a significant setback for the Grizzlies, who have relied heavily on his offensive production through their first five games.
The 29-year-old is averaging a team-leading 25.8 points, 5.8 assists and 3.2 rebounds while shooting 47.3% from the field. He has emerged as Memphis' primary offensive weapon during its undefeated start.
Meanwhile, Pippen has provided valuable depth in the backcourt, averaging 6.4 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists across 16 minutes per game. The 25-year-old has appeared in all five contests while shooting 42.3% from the field.

Post has also contributed off the bench, averaging 7.6 points while shooting an efficient 62.5% from the field and 41.7% from beyond the arc. His potential absence could create additional opportunities for Isaiah Stewart in Memphis' frontcourt rotation.
