The Memphis Grizzlies faced a shortage of players due to injuries, prompting the NBA to grant them three 10-day hardship exceptions. One of these exceptions, Matthew Hurt, was promoted from the Hustle and played 23 minutes in a game against the Kings. Hurt, the G League's leading scorer, stepped in to help the depleted eight-player Memphis lineup. The team had 11 players unavailable for the game, falling short of the minimum NBA criteria for active players.
