Xavier Tillman Sr. Sits Out Saturday's Action
1 year agoMemphis Grizzlies forward/center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) won't be in the lineup Saturday versus San Antonio. He has just returned from a knee injury, and the team doesn't want to push him too hard. Tillman Sr. logged 22 minutes following a four-game absence Tuesday versus the Lakers, scoring 15 points on 6-for-7 shooting and posting two rebounds and two assists. Tillman Sr.'s absence should once again boost the playing time of Bismack Biyombo, who has done well for Memphis by averaging 7.5 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks in 24.7 minutes. Santi Aldama is set to benefit as well, although he has been very inconsistent with his performances and will be a risky choice for fantasy managers on Saturday.
