Zach Randolph

Zach Randolph (personal) expected to return Tuesday for Memphis

Memphis Grizzlies power forward Zach Randolph (personal) is expected to be back in the rotation as the Grizzlies take on the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday.

What It Means:

Randolph missed seven straight games on bereavement leave, and his return to the rotation will cut into both JaMychal Green and Jarell Martin's minutes.

Randolph was sporting a team-high 31.1 percent usage rate in 22.3 minutes per game off the bench to start the year, and while his per-game numbers are down with the limited minutes, he is averaging the second-most points (23.0) and most rebounds (12.7) per 36 minutes of his career. We project him for 13.5 points and 7.0 rebounds in 22.7 minutes in his return to the rotation tonight.
