Grizzlies C Isaiah Stewart Out 2 Weeks with Ankle Sprain
The center will be re-evaluated in two weeks and is expected to miss the preseason finale and opening night, the team said.
- The Memphis Grizzlies announced Friday that center Isaiah Stewart will be re-evaluated in two weeks after suffering a moderate left ankle sprain during Monday's preseason opener against the Atlanta Hawks.
- Memphis acquired the 6-foot-8 Stewart this summer from the Detroit Pistons, absorbing his four-year, $60 million contract to help restore the team's identity and culture.
- Last season with Detroit, Stewart averaged 10.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and a career-high 1.6 blocks over 22.7 minutes per game while earning a base salary of $15 million.
- Stewart will miss the remainder of the preseason and the regular-season opener against the Utah Jazz on October 21, forcing teammates Zach Edey and Quinten Post to handle center minutes.
- Despite the injury, Stewart remains expected to mentor rookie Cam Boozer, the third overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, as the Grizzlies focus on building culture day by day.
