Lamar Stevens (groin) out for Grizzlies Friday

The Memphis Grizzlies ruled out Lamar Stevens (groin) for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

What It Means:

Stevens started and played 37 minutes in the Grizzlies' last game, but is now dealing with a groin injury and will miss Friday's game against the Lakers. His absence could open up a starting job for Jack White or Timmy Allen.

Stevens was solid in his last game, scoring 16 points with 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and 4 blocks in the game.
