Rookie guard Javon Small has been diagnosed with a turf toe injury in his left foot and will miss at least three weeks, which is when he’ll be reevaluated, the Grizzlies announced on Saturday (via Twitter).
Small, 22, opened his debut NBA season by playing rotation minutes for the shorthanded Grizzlies, but his playing time has dwindled over the past couple weeks. He sustained the injury on November 8 during a G League game with the Memphis Hustle.
The 48th overall pick in the 2025 draft, Small played for three different colleges (East Carolina, Oklahoma State and West Virginia) prior to being selected in June. The Indiana native is on a two-way deal with the Grizzlies.
